Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is State Senator and President Pro-Tem of the Missouri Senate, Cindy O’Laughlin.

They don’t care. They never did. They like conspiracy theories because it makes them feel like they know more than other people, but they are in a cult. If their cult, leader is implicated, they disengage.

Fact-check: true 😕

I’d just like to reiterate that if you put on a mask, and go out without a warrant and kidnap people because they aren’t white enough, you’re a huge piece of shit…

A tweet from Devon Sawa (@DevonESawa) simply says: “Electing a pedophile to own the libs.”

This is what MAGA did. Sorry to have to say it so plainly.

Family of Fisherman Killed in U.S. Military Strike Says It Wants Justice

The furor over the death of a Colombian fisherman has ignited a feud over the huge U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean and the legality of the deadly attacks on nearly 20 vessels since September.

Great idea!!

What would really unlock the Epstein scandal is finding out why Acosta cut that insane plea deal.

Epstein plead to soliciting a minor. Which is bad. But not nearly as bad as what he was doing. And so the world acted accordingly. Some times in ignorance, some times with greed and cynicism.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

This is significant www.axios.com/local/chicag...

He is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person.

Breaking: Mike Johnson just announced that he'll swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4pm ET.

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families.

Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

Why a bunch of Senators who are retiring are leading the negotiations is something to really think on

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Let everybody else be clear: you are preventing any chance of that happening.

New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told. This is the package: - CR thru Jan 30 - A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill - Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We just won on Tuesday…

JFC

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Dear Senate Dems,

Republicans don’t keep their promises…

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

I'm so pissed. King, Shaheen, and Hassan put this together behind our backs. And Kaine, Cortez-Masto, Fetterman, Rosen, and Durbin went along with it.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.
