America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

And they wonder why no one is watching anymore.

My advice: Support independent media.

CNN: You may not like his style or approach to diplomacy, but if he does successfully push China back w/ regard to influence in the Americas, could this threat be worth angering Panama?

DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: It is utterly preposterous to suggest that we are gonna send our military in to Panama

Author Roald Dahl's daughter Olivia died from measles in 1962, before there was a measles vaccine. His words are haunting.

A vaccine was developed in 1986, and children were saved from misery and death.

Republicans have made vaccines a symbol of the "deep state." Their stupidity will bring pain.

How is that a publication like Rolling Stone gets it right when so many other news orgs are failing at real journalism & keeping it real—and so damn obvious about it?

At least one person at CNN gets it.

“I think a lot of it can be explained by the viewers making a decision that they just don’t like what we’re doing,” said a CNN political journalist who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to comment. “The viewers are pretty smart.”

"I was recruited at a very young age from Mar-a-Lago and entrapped in a world that I didn't understand and I've been fighting that very world to this day and I won't stop fighting, I will never be silenced, until these people are brought to justice."

This is so true. Getting rid of T**** (the one whose name I won’t mention), will not be the solution. What AOC says below is true. Be in this for the long haul, Fellow Citizens. We have a lot of work to do. 🇺🇸

From Munich to Moscow to Mar-a-Lago, the road to fascism is lined with "Christian" nationalists insisting that you are overreacting.

NEWS: Biden formally vetoes the JUDGES Act of 2024, which would create dozens of new judgeships over the next decade.

I am returning herewith
without my approval S. 4199, the "Judicial Understaffing Delays Getting Emergencies Solved Act of 2024" or the
"JUDGES Act of 2024."
S. 4199 seeks to hastily add judgeships with just a few weeks left in the 118th Congress. The House of
Representative's hurried action fails to resolve key questions in the legislation, especially regarding how the new judgeships are allocated, and neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate explored fully how the work of senior status judges and magistrate judges affects the need for new judgeships.
The
efficient and effective administration of justice requires that these questions about need and allocation be further studied and answered before we create permanent judgeships for life-tenured
judges.

S. 4199 would create new judgeships in States where
Senators have sought to hold open existing judicial vacancies.
Those efforts to
hold open vacancies suggest that concerns about judicial economy and caseload are not the true motivating force behind passage of this bill now •
Therefore, I am vetoing
this bill.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.
THE WHITE HOUSE,
December 23, 2024.

Louder for those in the back.

You can call it "paying a 17 year old for sex" as much as you want.

But, the word you are looking for is "rape."

SAG-AFTRA has released a statement in support of Blake Lively.

I cannot tell you how rare this is given that there are two actors involved in this matter.

Usually they say they’re investigating, etc.

Remarkable.

"These are startling and troubling allegations.
Employees have every right to raise issues of concern or to file complaints. Retaliation for reporting misconduct or inappropriate behavior is illegal and wrong.
"We applaud Blake Lively's courage in speaking out on issues of retaliation and harassment and for her request to have an intimacy coordinator for all scenes with nudity or sexual content. This is an important step that helps ensure a safe set.
"We all have a right to be treated with dignity and respect on the job and to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination and retaliation.

I watch the bizarre ramblings by trump about buying Greenland, and seizing the Panama Canal, and I honestly wonder how the leaders of any country can take us seriously.

He comes off as the drunken buffoon in the bar at last call. It's so fucking embarrassing.

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike in at least 12 states for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

Please stop referring to statutory rape as “sexual relations with a 17-year old girl.”
