U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering right now.

Live Nation execs think you're "stupid" and brag about robbing you blind. But $500k to Trump's inaugural committee got them a sweetheart settlement of Biden-era antitrust claims. Join @bedoyausa.bsky.social and @maxmmiller.bsky.social tomorrow morning! www.youtube.com/live/-5oqZmc...

They fuck up the world and then hide in a bunker. Sounds about right.

The moral choice is clear.

Our bases are being bombed. Our embassies are under attack. Thousands of Americans are stranded. Innocent Iranians are being murdered. We’re spending $1B a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others. And where is Trump? Golfing.

C'mon, you know you want to give us a call. It's fun, and you can ask a question to @doctorow.pluralistic.net about AI! 920-WE-FIGHT (933-4448). Leave a good one and it might get featured on an upcoming episode.

The use of AI in selecting military targets is dangerous. @bedoyausa.bsky.social shares his insight on yesterday's LIVE show. youtube.com/shorts/jGMfg...

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers. So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️ https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-paramount-mega-media-monopoly/?source=group-ShortText

Looking forward to this discussion on oligarchy war-profiteering tomorrow morning. Join @bedoyausa.bsky.social and me at 8:45ET/7:45CT, and call us with your thoughts or questions prior to the show! 920-WE-FIGHT (933-4448).

It's time for the Hollywood unions to realize what this Paramount deal will mean for you: fewer jobs and lower pay! It's SYNERGY! @sagaftra.org, @wgawest.bsky.social, @afm-union.bsky.social, @iatse.bsky.social

Come give us a watch/listen this morning. I'm wired and fired-up about this Paramount's foreign-backed deal. Let's discuss.

For what it's worth, me and @maxmmiller.bsky.social will be live @thefairfightpod.bsky.social tomorrow at 8:45am ET / 7:45am CT to talk about what a Paramount takeover of CNN & HBO would mean for free speech in our country. You can watch on YT @ TheFairFight. Will post a link here in the morning.

Join us tomorrow morning! It's sure to be a fascinating discussion about this merger faceoff and the broader topic of how consolidation in media threatens our entertainment and political landscape.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

Pete Ricketts took over $76,000 from the alcohol and pharmaceutical industries in just two years. Meanwhile, he's fighting tooth and nail to stop patients from accessing medical cannabis that could help them get off addictive painkillers. Follow the money.

Join @bedoyausa.bsky.social and me this morning at 7:45CT/8:45ET. We'll be talking about the Trump Administration's move to Make Argentina Great Again and the disparate treatment of immigrants and protestors vs. the unaccountable "Epstein Class." www.youtube.com/live/Uh7BPAU...

"You don't become a billionaire by having morality."

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

@bedoyausa.bsky.social says it best. You can't deport your way out of a rigged economy.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

To learn more about the corporate infrastructure that makes ICE run, makes it wealthy, and makes it normal, tune in tomorrow at 845am ET to @thefairfightpod.bsky.social where @maxmmiller.bsky.social will break it down www.youtube.com/live/rZmc2bT...

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.

Elon Musk is a cancer on Tesla, on America, and on the world. But’s it’s not just him. Extreme wealth requires extreme greed, and putting people in a position of power who have the requisite greed produces bad results for all. As they say, “Every Billionaire is a policy failure.”

On the campaign trail, Trump railed against private equity tax loopholes. As president, he's enacted more tax breaks and regulatory rollbacks that benefit the industry — and his war on the IRS has gutted the agency's capacity to audit PE firms. Promises made, promises broken.

Remember Car Talk, where you call two guys with your car problems and get advice to fix it? Me and Max Miller are starting a show that's like a "Car Talk" for the messed up economy. First? SURVEILLANCE AT WORK. We got the best expert for it. Submit questions by next Thursday!

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting. Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

At least 30 individual or corporations who have given over $116M to Trump and his super PAC have received regulatory favors from the Trump White House. That includes Big Tobacco companies, Pharma giants, and crypto moguls like the Winklevoss twins. Pay-to-play corruption.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It’s. Not. His. House. What Trump is doing to the White House is so very wrong and makes me so profoundly sad. My latest Substack video. Have a watch.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

My hope is that this will provide opportunities for discovery of Mike Johnson’s professional and personal communications.

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

Stephen Miller just said the quiet part out loud claiming that Trump has plenary authority when it comes to deploying troops. (Plenary means full authority.) After making the statement, he froze completely, like a deer in headlights. The video is worth watching.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. But, how’s the redistricting going?

Join us in canceling Disney Plus. Let’s boycott ABC and Disney. If you’ve already canceled, drop a “done” in the comments.

This is a great development for Iowa.

Instead of writing about Democrats who have arrest warrants because they refused to take part in rigging an election, the media should be writing about Texas trying to rig an election.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
