Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

Stunning afternoon as the sun decided to grace us during the gloom

Donald Trump spent months trying to tell Americans his tariffs weren't raising costs and that rising prices aren’t a problem.

It’s time to repeal ALL of Trump’s reckless tariffs.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

The Federal Reserve has entered a period of unusually sharp internal divisions, with central bankers increasingly split over how to steer an economy facing two opposing forces: persistent inflation and a labor market that’s losing momentum.

I’m so irritated that the black women who were in some role at Lucasfilm seem to have all left. And I’m not irritated at them for leaving (unless they were forced out), I’m irritated that the environment wasn’t conducive to them staying.

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Justice Department lawyers said that a full grand jury never reviewed the final indictment against former FBI director James B. Comey.
