I’ll spare you the rest of Trump’s statement where he calls Tim Waltz the R-word & hate mongers immigrants—
On a day meant for gratitude, he ranted about “vermin,” & vengeance. It’s the clearest reminder yet — there is no moral bottom too low or autocratic line he won’t cross

This is why it’s the radical right wing.
GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”
Wanting to address this isn’t radical.
NOT wanting to is.

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

Tyson CEO Donnie King made $22.7 million last year.
The week before Thanksgiving, he told 3,200 workers in Lexington, Nebraska that they're losing their jobs.
