McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 and the jury ordered him to pay the victim $257,000. He lost all his appeals.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 β€” even as corporate profits soar.

Why? This chart has the answer.

In the meantime, he says he viewed it before it was posted, didn't think it was racist, does not have anything to apologize for, and didn't make a mistake. Maybe "staffer" is a nickname for his tiny hands

When money and power protect abusers instead of victims, the system itself is broken. Trump didn’t invent that reality β€” he took advantage of it. And until the system changes, accountability will remain optional for the powerful.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that β€œimmigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

The DOJ purposely left the victims of Epstein's abuse unredacted in the file dump. They are some sick bastards! And I bet they did it at the direction of Trump. I hope they all burn in hell.

Ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon arrested on charges connected to Minnesota church protest Lemon’s lawyer said he was taken into custody after attending protest in which demonstrators disrupted a church service earlier in January

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another alarming attack by the Trump administration on Americans’ First Amendment rights.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

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

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Elon Musk is donating $10 million to a Republican primary candidate in Kentucky.

That’s more money than the vast majority of Americans will ever see β€” much less donate.

Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Still hard to believe that there are videos and witnesses to someone shooting a woman in the face three times. Yet the shooter has not been arrested even though the police know who and where he is.

$1.5T for the military budget
$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$470M to send National Guard into cities
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$100M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

This is a direct violation of the Tenth Amendment and State Sovereignty.

Conditioning federal funds on states surrendering their constitutional authority is not β€œlaw and order.” It’s coercionβ€”and the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled it unconstitutional.

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.
