The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children. The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws? Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle. It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.
