During the marathon campaign rally that Trump called his SOTU speech, he "unveiled" a proposal for the federal government to provide matching contributions of up to $1,000 per year to the retirement accounts of low-wage earners.

It's a great idea. It is also already a law signed by Biden in 2022.

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

Some jerk robbed the dedicated crew that's been driving the Tesla diner into irrelevance. They need help to buy new gear so they can keep bringing us Hollywood-quality productions. If you have a few dollars to spare and they've made you happy, please chip in! #TeslaTakedown

The Trump regime is withholding $259 million in Medicaid funding from Minnesota over loose allegations of "fraud."

Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC.

The "law and order" president.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

The Ellisons are gobbling up the media ecosystem to please Trump. Oligarchy in service of authoritarianism.

it worked last time so why not do it again. (by "worked" I of course mean "made a lot of people extremely rich", which is their whole goal in literally any actions.)

this is the direction I've been expecting them to take. I have no confidence in an election happening this year.

russian troops have long been using rape as a weapon of war. Now, as victims step forward — their stories are coming to light. No human should have to endure what the survivors of rape live through.

An infrared image of the Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula, where a vibrant, wing-shaped cloud of orange and white gas streaks diagonally across a deep blue and black background. At the center of the “wing” is a bright, glowing point of light - a young star- emitting a faint, narrow reddish jet. The surrounding space is filled with wispy blue nebular clouds and scattered, bright stars, including one prominent white star with a pinkish glow on the right side of the frame.

This week’s image is of the Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula! Gemini South’s GMOS captured this stunning image of the nebula, which has allowed astronomers the opportunity to study the circumstellar disk of gas and dust orbiting the central star.

Last night, Kharkiv didn’t sleep — it endured. Russia attacked the city with 18 drones and two Iskander missiles, striking 11 locations, including homes, a dormitory, and Central Park.

Ten people were injured.

A family that had already fled the region lost their home again.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.

Meanwhile, Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

One big problem with Trumps “retirement plan.” They will match up to 1000 per year… but now companies can dump their employees off the company plan which matches way more…. Onto the govt plan.

It’s a corporate handout… again
