If GOP members of Congress had made a video last year under the Biden administration, saying to the military that they didn’t have to obey illegal orders, everyone would have said “Huh?”

Because there was nothing close to that even happening.

It would have produced a collective shrug.

The alarming trend I'm seeing in 2025 is that companies are quietly laying off employees and replacing their positions with AI.

This means that even if the economy improves, those jobs are not coming back.

So where will these people work? What will this do to our economy?

Over a quarter of Trump's proposed $1T military budget would go to just four companies who have spent $103B in taxpayer dollars on stock buybacks and dividends over the last decade.

He wants to use your money to make the military-industrial complex even richer.

Desperate Donny posting this West Point plaque that completely undermines his own attacks on Dem leaders raises serious questions about whether Trump is aware of his surroundings and his own actions, has dementia, or is in any way fit to remain in office.

Big corporations like Exxon Mobil are literally begging the Supreme Court to bail them out. They’re claiming that being forced to publish their emissions data violates their precious 1st Amendment “free speech” rights.

Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)
