⚡️UPDATE: Under Trump the Tennessee Valley Authority is sticking with coal rather than clean energy — and letting Elon DOUBLE xAI’s power draw… with no public input.

“[James Talarico] was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

Don't sleep on this -- even though it's not as loud as raids in the street, this IS the next escalation.

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

CHARLAMAGNE: “Trump went platinum in the Epstein files.”

🔥 REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “The ascent of populist movements tells us governments have strayed too far from being responsive to the working class… economic elites are taking the lion’s share of growth and leaving crumbs for the working class.”

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre: “I was trafficked to a lot of types of different men — billionaires, royalty… he used me as a form of blackmail so these people would owe him favors.”

I am so goddamn proud of her.

Not great!

Donald Trump used DOGE to damage our government, and it cost taxpayers billions. DOGE did nothing for working class people and instead helped billionaires and the ultra-wealthy. Our recent report exposes this corruption. We will hold the Trump administration accountable.
