Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators.
Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K.
Follow the money.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.
"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting.
Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg ). The post reads: "Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that."

DOGE IS SCARED at The Institute of Museum and Library Services, 955 L'Enfant Plaza. They are about to start taking phones from employees. At this point they'll trace me because I stupidly didn't use a burner account, but DOGE is at IMLS right now trying to figure out why their silent takeover and dismantling didn't work out so silently. At some point they're going to take employee's phones. The new acting director, Keith Sonderling was sworn in this morning in the lobby (even though he's already DepSec of Labor). DOGE is in the offices right now. Employees aren't sure of what's going to happen and why there's security with the DOGE team. PRESS NEEDS TO GET THERE NOW. PROTESTERS NEED TO SHOW UP NOW. DO NOT LET THEM TAKE YOUR LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS AWAY.
DOGE IS attacking The Institute of Museum and Library Services, 955 L'Enfant Plaza right NOW.

The argument behind President Trump’s executive order banning DEI initiatives is that America has eliminated racism and no one is held back by race. But Cari Dominguez says employment data doesn’t support that. https://cbsn.ws/4bzDaZu

The economy is showing severe warning signs after Trump's first month in office. This shouldn't be surprising. He doesn't understand the economy and tanked pretty much every business he ever touched. youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?...

We need a new free speech movement.
And universities should sue the Trump regime for abridging the First Amendment rights of their institutions and their students.
Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/we-need-a-new-free-speech-movement
X post by Andy Kim (@AndyKimNJ ), featuring a verification badge. The text reads, "More people need to see this. It cannot be understated. Trump is trying to criminalize the service of Habitat for Humanity and go after nonprofits who help people when they need it most. It is political retribution. It is unjust and it is a direct threat to our democracy." Below this, there is a quoted post from The New Republic (@newrepublic ), also with a verification badge, posted 1 day ago. The quoted text states, "The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for 'conspiracy to defraud the United States.' This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices...." The posts express concern about political actions targeting nonprofits and government agencies, framing it as a threat to democracy.
This is how we know we are in the Upside Down.

Half of Americans have less than $500 in savings, according to recent estimates.
Meanwhile, the combined wealth of the three richest men in the world is roughly $740B.
Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
These are the links for the bills.
