'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

The GOP Is Fine With You Getting Your Fingers Chopped Off Donald Trump’s yes-men at the Consumer Product Safety Commission are withdrawing a series of proposed safety rules, incl

The Consumer Product Safety Commission just scrapped a table saw safety rule that could have prevented amputation injuries and saved over $2B in healthcare costs a year.

This comes months after Trump fired all three Democratic CPSC members.

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Food bank director, Jill Dixon explains that for every meal a food bank provides the SNAP program provides nine. If Republicans don’t negotiate with Democrats to keep SNAP benefits going after the Nov 1 deadline, Americans are going to starve. This is just cruel and vile ‼️

The president is experiencing OBVIOUS mental and physical decline. Pre$$ ignores. He barks about a third term, and the press asks how he'll do it, rather than pointing out that it's unconstitutional. That's not legal.

Oligarchs purchased the news media and it died.

Corporate news is a cancer.

YouTube video by Bernie Sanders What's it like living in Norway πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄?

I was born in the USA, grew up in Norway and came back to the USA for college. I've seen both sides of US and Norwegian healthcare. Here is what Bernie and our ambassador had to say about this. This is what we can actually afford and should have in America.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re rightβ€”there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

The Trump regime is made of up some really depraved individuals. Only those who lack essential humanity and decency are willing and eager to work for a boss with similar qualities.

UPDATE: A lawsuit in Ghana confirms this Omni ICE flight held 14 third-country nationals, at least seven of whom still appear to be imprisoned.

That brings the Ghana total to 42 people on three ICE flights.

The Trump Admin only cares when crimes are committed by immigrants, people of color, and transgender people.

The #1 source of mass shooters are white men. Over the weekend, the tragedies in Michigan, New Orleans & Texas done by white men who weren't leftists.

We will never hear about it again.

Can you imagine the uproar if Biden had claimed to end a war between Albania & Cambodia?

47 says something that stupid & no one even notices because of the multitude of even dumber things he says.

The tolerance for this idiocy must end!

Show up. Speak out on 10/18.

We're in a full-blown constitutional crisis, with Article I completely inoperative & Article III not clearly operative. Whatever one wants to call our current political regime, it's neither a democracy nor a republic at this point.

It’s so important for New Jersey to turnout for Mikie Sherrill by Nov 4:

If 47 thinks he needs to send troops into β€œwar ravaged Portland” what happens when he decides the only way to save Cherry Hill is to carpet bomb it?

Can we trust any R to say so much as β€œbad idea”?

Meanwhile, another Jan 6 defendant today asked for the court to order a reimbursement of the restitution he paid after his jury conviction

If approved, this motion would shift more of the burden to taxpayers, to pay for the repairs and cleanup
