Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

In the historically anti-union South, the UAW just secured a landmark contract with Volkswagen.

The workers won major wage increases, job security against outsourcing, and higher-quality healthcare.

Congratulations to these workers, and remember: there is always hope in labor.

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

U.S. billionaires got an astounding $1.5 TRILLION richer in the first year of Trump's second term.

Remember — this is happening as they get even more tax cuts in exchange for the social safety net being cut for everyone else.

"New Golden Age" for who?

How many moms need to get shot in the face before members of congress support a sec Noam impeachment?

@repmoskowitz.bsky.social points out the irony of a GOP-run January 6 hearing where Republicans insist there was no insurrection, yet seated in the GOP's reserved front row seats, is Stewart Rhodes, the founder and former leader of the Oath Keepers.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

Imagine running a capital-intensive firm when the White House can suddenly threaten to shut your industry down. Wind farms today, something else tomorrow. That risk changes what gets built, where, and whether it gets built at all.

this shit is just beyond parody, man

Snowflake Trump gets his participation trophy And the Supremes cue up another case that could totally upend the country because that's what they do now

The oil is always the first reason for these chucklef**ks.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

NEWS: White House Effectively Frozen as More Bombshell Epstein Documents Come to Light The White House is frozen as more bombshell Epstein documents come to light. I spent hours going through them all and will continue to do so throughout the day.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

I ❤️ my hometown.

Well done…

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

John Fugelsang knocks this one out of the park!

How bad is the Trump administration? So bad it's made me care even a little bit about what happens to John Bolton.

I have no love for Bolton but this is political facism at its most pure form.

Hey JD…I hate “whataboutism” but your boss cheated banks out of hundreds of thousands by misrepresenting value of properties. Just skated on the fines so really no repercussions. What say you about that?

Are we really cool with our government handing 12 Wall Street bankers $52 million with absolutely no idea what they'll do with it and a vague promise that it'll all trickle down eventually?

Really?

Liz Warren to her absolute credit shows up on CNBC and is willing to call everyone a stupid piece of shit in a way that even Bernie would refrain from

so, here’s a thing that happened Friday: the July jobs report was released — and it was fucking abysmal. let’s watch Fox News yammerhead Maria Bartiromo get shocked into silence as the numbers cross her desk. “the NASDAQ down about two hundred, go— [very long pause] 73,000. 73,000 jobs created in the month of July. the numbers just coming out.” that’s horrible. the entire US labor force is 163.5 million. 73,000 is a rounding error away from zero. the American economy basically ground to a standstill in July. the guy who speaks last in the above clip has it exactly right: “look, I think this is all a result, this disappointing number is a result of all the turmoil over tariffs and trade wars.” no shit, Sherlock. congratulations, Donny. in just seven short months you’ve taken Joe Biden’s roaring economy, dragged it to the gravel pit, and shot it in the fucking head — and now everyone’s just standing around, going ‘where’s Economy?’ of course, President Toddler reacted to the bad news in the only way he’s emotionally equipped to. he freaked the fuck out and power-loaded an infinite series of diapers.

from today’s post, in which Donny throws a shit-fit over the abysmal job number his dumb-ass policies caused —
please read the whole thing, thanks!
