Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

JD VANCE: "My mother got the drugs that almost killed her from Mexicans."

REALITY: JD's mother got the drugs that almost killed her from her hospital patients, whom she stole from.

AOL’s dial up internet takes its last bow, marking the end of an era Dial-up is now no longer advertised on AOL’s website. As of Wednesday, former company help pages like “connect to the internet with AOL Dialer” appeared unavailable — and nostalgic social media use…

It’s official: AOL’s dial-up internet has taken its last bow.

Priorities.

While Floridians struggle with rising rent, utility bills & groceries, Ron DeSantis approved an $83 MILLION land deal with a GOP donor, paying 10x what it cost.

This is blatantly corrupt.

Florida families deserve leaders who put people first.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

There are no words. A psychopath is sitting in the Oval Office, demanding illegal acts from OUR military. 25th amendment NOW!

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

See ya, Hulu.

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios.

At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024.

Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570.

That’s a ratio of 632 to 1.

How can anyone defend this?

Today: Anti-Trump protesters marched in Washington, all the way to the White House—peaceful, defiant, rejecting his occupation of D.C.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.

He's turning the homes into a compound.

That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.

I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

The Today Show had a segment this morning on the 39% wholesale price increase of vegetables compared to 1 year ago, the largest jump during a summer month since 1947

The reasons given were:
-Worker shortage (farmers citing workers not showing up due to fear of deportation)
-Heat and drought

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq.

“If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.”

National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.

A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

Smart! A Raven doing Raven things.

Great news for anyone who cares how taxpayer dollars are spent.

We supported the creation of this database because it’s a vital transparency tool, and we’re glad to see courts tell the administration to restore it. This is how the balance of powers is supposed to work.

Interesting ay?

Heinous.
