Microsoft made $101B in profit, took $12.5B in tax breaks, and dumped $176B into stock buybacks. Their reward to the people who built that wealth? 4,800 fired this week. 9,000 fired last year. Stop lying that trickle-down economics works. Corporate scam. Nothing trickles down but the cruelty.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was simply on his way to work. Now his family is grieving a loss no family should endure. We cannot accept a system where going to work can end in tragedy at the hands of ICE. Abolish ICE and give his family the true answers they deserve. www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/u...

Yeah, we know. We’ve been saying that for 18 months.

Epstein survivors launch a billboard campaign against confirming Blanche as AG. All credit to them. Can the Blanche confirmation become a referendum on his coverup of Epstein?

Expand and reform the Supreme Court.

BREAKING: The Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms. The EAC helps state and local officials run elections, including by certifying election equipment.

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

This will substantially benefit Con Jr., who is a board member and holds $700K in shares of GrabAGun, an online firearms retailer marketed as the “Amazon of Guns.” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

⚠️ The Trump administration has doubled down in recent weeks on its sweeping bid to wrangle private voter data from states. What’s their true motivation?

Plant more of these ...

The red card is now on Epstein Island.

Newsom: All of this happening—this open sewage system. You talk about draining the swamp. He gave it a presidential suite with gold leaf. This is stuff I don’t even imagine exists at this scale in a year and a half, even in Putin’s Russia or Kim Jong-un’s North Korea.

If this isn't corruption, we don't know what is. It's time to do the one thing that's necessary. Invoke Article V. Corruption is rampant at every level. A Constitutional Convention is the only mechanism to finally purge corruption. 🇺🇸⚖️🗽

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

It’s another hot and humid day in NYC. High temperatures in the low 90s with a chance of evening rain and thunderstorms. Go indoors if storms hit. Stay hydrated. Check on your neighbors. Cooling centers & pools are open across the city. Find a location near you at finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters

The most striking thing about Trump's use of the word "communism" is that it shows he hasn't got a clue what communism means, not of the fact that his plan for the US government to own the means of production is in fact communist.

Probably a bad idea to wrap your face and body in slim-fit clothing on a day with 101 degree heat. Especially if the garments are made from tightly woven cotton or certain synthetics.

That’s quite a bribe! “All told, 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 13 emeralds and six rubies encrust the watch-sized gold ring presented this week to Bill White, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium, to give to U.S. President Donald Trump.”

You know Farage is on the ropes when even the tabloid rags like the Times do a front page on his latest (revealed) scandals.

Today feels like a good day to bring up the Epstein Files again.

OMG stop with the fireworks. My dog is going through chemo and she’s scared. Three days of this. It’s after 11 pm.

Remember Dominion Voting Systems? I see 787 million reasons Tammy Duckworth should sue Fox News for this.

Trump watching the Fox News feed of Trump watching the Fox News feed tonight. It’s like a not so fun house mirror.

Why are we using public funds to put on a Trump rally? This should be as generic and nonpartisan as it gets, yet here we are paying for this clown to roll out his hits again

He’s not even in office anymore and he’s still more presidential than the man who is.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence Remember: These are the foundations of real freedom.

It also points out how wrong SCOTUS is to claim that racism is dead.

Faroe Islands, a self governing territory and part of the Kingdom of Denmark. 🇩🇰

Freedom is not something we merely inherit; it is something we participate in through curiosity, courage, accountability, and compassion toward one another. Happy 4th. Defend democracy.

Happy Independence Day from fifty years ago... I was in Hummelstown, PA outside Harrisburg. The Bicentennial wagon train came through Main Street, en route to Hershey Fairgrounds where they camped. It was an impressive event; many families participated driving wagons & folks came to cheer them on.

Name a song with the word "Day" in the title or lyrics...🎶

Nazis marching through DC, dozens hospitalized at Trump’s National Mall event, Iran shutting down a key shipping corridor, the power grid buckling under record heat, and more. Your July 4 update is here:

Mayor Mamdani Is The Leader Of The Democratic Party 🥳, And A Very Good One.......💪🏻

And there it is: With just hours remaining until deadline to release more Epstein Files under lawsuit filed by @KatiePhang — Justice Dept asks judge for two-month delay, claiming it risks revealing victims’ identities.. … (which the Trump Admin has already done)

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

Jack Smith: James Comey, Letitia James, Jerome Powell. There's not criminality here. I mean, seashells?? The only reasonable explanation is the president has it out for these people. He has people who are his former personal lawyers who are going to do what he says, regardless of the facts or law

Name another song that mentions the word "Blue." 🎶 Written by Neil Diamond and first released on his 1972 album Moods, the single "Song Sung Blue" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 1 1972. His 2nd Billboard

Air Fraud One

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

Trump signed a stipulation: lose at the Supreme Court, pay Carroll immediately. He lost Monday. He still hasn't paid. His lawyers called asking for more time anyway. Robbie Kaplan's response to the judge is the kind of clean, precise lawyering worth reading in full. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
