AP: β€œThe median pay package for CEOs rose to $17.1M, up 9.7%. Meanwhile, the median employee at companies in the survey earned $85,419, reflecting a 1.7% increase year over year.”

The economy is rigged by a political system controlled by the rich. apnews.com/article/ceo-...

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Glad to see this response from Democrats. This is appropriate and decent.

And I want to remind everyone that Trump mocked Paul Pelosi, who was nearly killed by a deranged conspiracy theorist. Trump mocked him publicly at the RNC after surviving the assassination attempt.

β€œThat’s it, plain and simple. Put a bow on it.”

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social says the message Dems should carry is Trump and republicans have made life more expensive for regular folks and is cutting their health care, all to cut taxes for the rich and make the rich richer.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

FBI will help locate Texas Democrats who fled the state, Cornyn says Texas GOP have been threatening the state legislators with "legal consequences" for breaking the quorum.

Federal law enforcement is being used to literally hunt down Texas Democrats in Illinois so Republicans can draw new electoral maps and disenfranchise millions of people.

An extremely scary precedent is being set right now and Illinois is the first proving ground: www.axios.com/2025/08/07/f...

Women can then use superior numbers when available to cut the rapist’s balls off while he watches, then let him bleed to death.

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.

Trump’s Funding Cuts Force Food Banks to Ration Meals for Texas Flood Survivors Texas already leads the nation in hunger rates with more than 5 million residents facing food insecurity.

The devastation in Texas became the first major disaster to expose the grave effects of Trump’s extensive disinvestment from disaster resilience programs β€” and his administration’s newest food and hunger policies.

The Trump administration is planning to destroy 550 tons of emergency food relief intended for children in impoverished and war-torn regions. The food assistance that was part of the now-defunct USAID program is set to be incinerated on Thursday.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.

Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.

Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work.

It was a hoax.

Pollinators dying off, farm workers being rounded up, grocery prices sky high. Enjoy eating while we still can, I guess.

ICE is going to get someone killed.

This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District.

If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car.

Hope everyone’s OK.
