You’re right. It’s better to seize all your capital entirely Alexis

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products.

Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month.

This is corporate greed at its worst.

Does It Matter if the U.S. Surgeon General Never Practiced Medicine?

Does it matter if the pilot has never landed an aircraft before?

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

What the hell

There's always a tweet.

When I definitely turn on the women I sleep with

periodic reminder that this White House has never put out any analysis of their trade policy. Literally not even a single chart. They barely understand what they’re destroying.

Judge Sessions is right. Neither Rumeysa Ozturk or anyone else in America should be in jail for authoring an op-ed critical of Israel, or on any subject.

Trump and colleagues should read the Constitution and, especially, the First Amendment.

Ozturk must be released immediately.

Only important news. (Rat)

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Sometimes I listen to 20 minutes of a VC Tech Bro podcast just to wonder what I would be like if I had that much irrational certainty (and ketamine.)

"I have a huge commercial real estate portfolio that's in trouble so I'm going to slander workers, because I'm a soulless pile of shit."

Going live on Twitch shortly to give my thoughts about the rise of AI history slop videos.

Top US companies spent three times as much on buybacks as taxes after Trump cuts – report As president proposes new cuts, data shows 11 corporations collectively recorded nearly $500bn in profits since last cut

How did 11 top corporations — including PepsiCo, ComCast, and Kimberly Clark — spend their spoils from Trump's tax scam?

By spending three times as much on stock buybacks as they paid in taxes.

Nothing trickled down. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-tax-cuts-stock-buybacks

Mike Waltz lasted exactly 9.18 scaramuccis was Trump's nat sec advisor

pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is a theory

Vladimir, STOP!

Today in America, the rich are getting richer & working families are struggling.

What is Mr. Trump doing about this?

He's getting ready to give tax cuts to billionaires while making it harder for Americans to access the Medicare, Social Security & veterans benefits they earned.

Well, you can learn one lesson from Trump's poor example today: appeasement does not work.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Pete Hegseth just said he will examine the promotion of “fat” people to leadership positions in the military and seek to stop them.

There's a very fat orange man who's Commander in Chief.

Can we start with him?

A Trump truth social post that reads “Boeing should default China for not taking the beautifully finished planes that China committed to purchase. This is just a small example of what China has done to the USA, for years… And, by the way, Fentanyl continues to pour into our Country from China, through Mexico and Canada, killing hundreds of thousands of our people, and it better stop, NOW!”

yesterday Trump was conciliatory to China. Today he’s mad at China. Tomorrow? Anyone’s guess

In an age in which it is difficult to produce compelling satire, The Onion still provides.
