Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy' Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files

"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly."

Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace?

Did you say “peril”?? How many journalists will understand the significance of that?

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.

Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469.

Textbook corporate greed.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

My wish for Labor Day is that unionized workers should get the day off. But that will never happen.

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns “The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

The average person simply doesn’t care as nothing terrible has happened to them yet. I am an “average” person and Trump’s goons killed my kid brother. I care, but I am powerless unless people decide they had enough and start fighting for themselves against the Orange Tumor.

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony.

Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.

Question for voters who thought this guy was going to being prices down:

If this was as easy as he said it was, don’t you think every president who ever presidented, would have done it when they were in office?

The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

[photos show Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Alan Ritchson (Reacher) with ripped muscles]

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Phang: They never learn, do they? There’s a slew of federal district court and appellate court judges telling this administration that what they’re doing is illegal and unconstitutional—but they don’t care. In response, they just call them “rogue judges.”
