Live Nation execs think you're "stupid" and brag about robbing you blind. But $500k to Trump's inaugural committee got them a sweetheart settlement of Biden-era antitrust claims.
Join @bedoyausa.bsky.social and @maxmmiller.bsky.social tomorrow morning!

They fuck up the world and then hide in a bunker. Sounds about right.
The moral choice is clear.
Our bases are being bombed.
Our embassies are under attack.
Thousands of Americans are stranded.
Innocent Iranians are being murdered.
We’re spending $1B a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others.
And where is Trump?
Golfing.
C'mon, you know you want to give us a call. It's fun, and you can ask a question to @doctorow.pluralistic.net about AI!
920-WE-FIGHT (933-4448). Leave a good one and it might get featured on an upcoming episode.
The use of AI in selecting military targets is dangerous. @bedoyausa.bsky.social shares his insight on yesterday's LIVE show.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.
So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

@bedoyausa.bsky.social and I are now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
Don't shop at Walmart. Ever. Find a small business. Any Italian grocers in your area?
It's time for the Hollywood unions to realize what this Paramount deal will mean for you: fewer jobs and lower pay! It's SYNERGY!
@sagaftra.org, @wgawest.bsky.social, @afm-union.bsky.social, @iatse.bsky.social
Come give us a watch/listen this morning. I'm wired and fired-up about this Paramount's foreign-backed deal. Let's discuss.
For what it's worth, me and @maxmmiller.bsky.social will be live @thefairfightpod.bsky.social tomorrow at 8:45am ET / 7:45am CT to talk about what a Paramount takeover of CNN & HBO would mean for free speech in our country. You can watch on YT @ TheFairFight. Will post a link here in the morning.
Join us tomorrow morning! It's sure to be a fascinating discussion about this merger faceoff and the broader topic of how consolidation in media threatens our entertainment and political landscape.
In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth
Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers
Pete Ricketts took over $76,000 from the alcohol and pharmaceutical industries in just two years.
Meanwhile, he's fighting tooth and nail to stop patients from accessing medical cannabis that could help them get off addictive painkillers.
Follow the money.
Join @bedoyausa.bsky.social and me this morning at 7:45CT/8:45ET. We'll be talking about the Trump Administration's move to Make Argentina Great Again and the disparate treatment of immigrants and protestors vs. the unaccountable "Epstein Class."

"You don't become a billionaire by having morality."
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
@bedoyausa.bsky.social says it best. You can't deport your way out of a rigged economy.
Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.
TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.
Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.
Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.
To learn more about the corporate infrastructure that makes ICE run, makes it wealthy, and makes it normal, tune in tomorrow at 845am ET to @thefairfightpod.bsky.social where @maxmmiller.bsky.social will break it down www.youtube.com/live/rZmc2bT...
Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.
Elon Musk is a cancer on Tesla, on America, and on the world.
But’s it’s not just him. Extreme wealth requires extreme greed, and putting people in a position of power who have the requisite greed produces bad results for all. As they say, “Every Billionaire is a policy failure.”
On the campaign trail, Trump railed against private equity tax loopholes.
As president, he's enacted more tax breaks and regulatory rollbacks that benefit the industry — and his war on the IRS has gutted the agency's capacity to audit PE firms.
Promises made, promises broken.
Remember Car Talk, where you call two guys with your car problems and get advice to fix it? Me and Max Miller are starting a show that's like a "Car Talk" for the messed up economy.
First? SURVEILLANCE AT WORK. We got the best expert for it. Submit questions by next Thursday!
We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.
