America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.

Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this. 

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program.

Hello?

"Party of the working class."

Breaking: The Cleveland Browns and Myles Garrett reached an agreement today on a record contract extension that averages $40 million per year and includes $123.5 million in guaranteed money, sources tell Adam Schefter.

He is now the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.

That’s the problem. They get their “news” from a source that intentionally keeps them under informed so they don’t have an actual clue what is going on. By the time the majority of them figure it out, it will be too late.

Oh look, they’re kicking out all the reporters right before bringing Elon in to loot the place www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt.

Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

A reminder that on this site folks may be aware that Trump got basically nothing new or substantive from Mexico or Canada but over on the other place, and out in parts of the real world, the GOP are successfully and ruthlessly spinning these as wins. They are messaging masters, Dems aren’t. Sorry 🤷🏽‍♂️

Trump’s attack on the FBI The Trump administration is preparing a remarkable power grab over the federal law enforcement agency.

Trump signs executive order to create sovereign wealth fund U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the U.S. Treasury and Commerce Departments to create a sovereign wealth fund.

BREAKING: Trump has signed an executive order creating a Sovereign Wealth Fund- popular with Middle East monarchies - so the U.S. can buy TikTok. That’s state-run media, folks. www.reuters.com/markets/weal...

This at an essential point. If Republicans want to abolish USAID they're as free to do that as with any other part of the government - through Congress. (i.e., follow the constitution) There's a budget process starting right now. Go for it. Doing it this way is illegal.

Folks (and this thing has gone around quickly), it's still unclear *what* has been "deleted"; as many of you have noted DirectFile remains active. Part of the danger of Government-By-Unelected-Nutball is that what's actually *true* is a moving target.

If you RT'd my initial post, RT this as well.

EPA Scientists Said They Were Pressured to Downplay Harms From Chemicals. A Watchdog Found They Were Retaliated Against. Three reports issued by the agency’s inspector general detailed personal attacks suffered by the scientists — including being called “stupid,” “piranhas” and “pot-stirrers” — and called on the EPA to…

During Trump's first term, some EPA scientists said managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. In some cases, they said, the managers deleted the information themselves.

Media purges have started.

If you’re keeping score at home yes, we’re on pace with 1933 level shit and speed

I’m more worried that the “some who actually will” includes SCOTUS.

Had Biden removed the head of the TSA, Coast Guard, & members of the aviation security advisory group, & put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers, then days later there was airport plane crash, can you IMAGINE the right-wing media & politician frenzy? We’d hear about it for MONTHS.

january can be a month where you lose all sense of time. but rest assured we are here to serve you 31 hours a day, 9 days a week, 572 days a year.

The very first thing the Nazis did was purge the government of all its political enemies.

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community.

Veterans suicide.

Before Leaving Office Biden Announced the ERA Should Already Be 28th Amendment — If it is, Could it Be Used Against Trans People?

It's been brought to my attention that if we'll all repost the cartoon with her article's name and substack info below it, Ann Tienaes can better benefit with more clicks.

Things you deserve after the football season.

And we get to do it again January 16

Georgia convincingly lost to ND
Texas barely beat ASU (and questionable call to win)
Tennessee crushed by Ohio State
Alabama loses to Michigan’s *backups*
South Carolina loses to Illinois

Guess really need Texas to win this game. Textbook targeting.

Alabama loss to Michigan shows Indiana, SMU deserve apology for Playoff bid criticism Pundits like Kirk Herbstreit blasted SMU and especially Indiana for blowout Playoff losses. But Alabama proved it wasn't worth arguing for.

✍️ COLUMN: The CFB pundits owe Indiana and SMU an apology for dragging them.

Alabama's loss to Michigan's backups was a reminder that hypothetical point spreads don't mean anything. Tennessee got blown out, too. South Carolina lost.

The games matter: www.nytimes.com/athletic/603...

CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% | Common Dreams CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
