Reminder that Starbucksโ€™ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Trump Administration Expected to Drastically Cut Housing Grants

Trump's HUD is preparing to gut federal support for long-term housing programs.

The changes could put 170,000 formerly homeless people at risk of losing their housing โ€” many of whom are disabled or over 50.

The cruelty is endless. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

Heโ€™s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

A tweet from Rep. Jason Crow reads: โ€œBillionaires get tax breaks. Kristi Noem gets luxury jets. Trump gets a golden ballroom. You get Hamburger Helper.โ€ It quotes a FactPost tweet summarizing a Fox News segment about the rising popularity of Hamburger Helper as consumers tighten their budgets. The image shows boxes of Hamburger Helper products and a Fox News anchor reporting on the trend.

our next Democratic president is going to have a lot of cleanup work to do โ€” but one of the many things they must campaign on is a vow to put all this shit back the way it was before Cankles McRottinghand assaulted it. not just the Epstein Ballroom, but also the parking lot where our beloved Rose Garden used to be.

oh, and how about next time, we actually hold Little Donny Fuckface accountable for his crimes, and not sleepwalk for three years until itโ€™s too late to do anything.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

Three rural clinics in Virginia are already closing this year as a direct result of Trump and Republicansโ€™ big, ugly bill.

Hundreds of rural hospitals and clinics are at risk due to the billโ€™s devastating cuts to Medicaid โ€“ all to pay for massive tax cuts for the rich.

no, seriously. fuck you, ABC. fuck all the way off. start fucking off over here, and then just fuck yourself all the way over to there โ€” and then keep on going, until youโ€™ve fucked yourself right to the very edge of the universe.

and when you get there, eat the bowl of fuck thatโ€™s waiting for you.

if those previous two sentences seem familiar to you, thatโ€™s because โ€” with the exception of substituting ABC for CBS โ€” itโ€™s how I opened my July 20, 2025 post, โ€˜CBS can pretty much fuck all the way off.โ€™

and now, two months later, here we are all over again.

    ABC announced on Wednesday evening that it was pulling Jimmy Kimmelโ€™s late night show โ€œindefinitelyโ€ after conservatives accused the longtime host of inaccurately describing the politics of the man who is accused of fatally shooting the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

unlike with CBSโ€™s shitcanning of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, ABC and their parent company, Disney, arenโ€™t even pretending to come up with some bullshit cover story about canceling the show for โ€˜financial reasons.โ€™ no, theyโ€™re straight up admitting they just folded like a pack of cards.
