For every $1 unions and public interest groups spend on lobbying, corporations spend $34

The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism — the tendency to be self-centered and entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status — and the more they favored return-to-office mandates.

Trump made at least $2.2 billion during his first year back in the White House, including about $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses, according to a mandatory financial disclosure last night.

Trump's vague Iran deal text omits missile and proxy limits, relying on early concessions. Despite past criticisms of Obama, Trump backs a $300B fund that dwarf past relief. This occurs as a militarily weakened Iran holds advanced nuclear knowledge, bypassing inspectors for years.

As a share of the economy, employee compensation in the first three months of this year reached its lowest point since the government began keeping track in 1947. Total wages and benefits equaled 51 percent of gross domestic income, down from nearly 58 percent a quarter century ago - Dept.

A home-ec textbook from the ‘50s 😡: “Have dinner ready. Plan ahead... to have a delicious meal on time. This is the best way of letting him know that you have been thinking of him. Your husband should feel he has reached a haven of rest and order.” 1/2

Aetna, part of CVS, denied 80% of requests for long-term hospital care, while UnitedHealthcare and Humana rejected 70% of requests, according to the report by the Office of Inspector General for the Dept of Health and Human Services, which examined more than 2,000 cases in the month of June 2024.

The Trump administration's exit from global anti-tax-dodging efforts has saved US firms over $40B since 2025. A NYT review shows nearly 500 companies shifted billions in profits to tax havens like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, often through shell subsidiaries lacking offices, staff, or sales.

Here’s a damning sentence from the investigation into police officers in elementary schools in Texas: “Police departments in Texas are not required to report incidents of force in schools unless they shoot someone.”

Every single worker in the European Union is guaranteed four weeks of paid vacation. No matter how long they’ve been at a company. No matter how low paying the job is. Vacation is a right. In fact, all but one of the richest countries in the world guarantees paid vacation, except: the U.S. 1/2

The Supreme Court does it again. Race-based criteria that benefits whites, a-okay; but using race-based criteria for any other purpose or to benefit any other community, that’s unconstitutional. Jim Crow and pre-Civil War rises again.

Justice Thomas’ statement should be shocking: the Court should never have interpreted §2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to effectively give racial groups “an entitlement to roughly proportional representation.” The Roberts court is systemically burying the Civil War Amendments by raw judicial fiat

One study from Benjamin Couillard, a doctoral candidate in economics at the University of Toronto, found that since the 1990s, rising housing costs have played a major role in the drop in birthrates.

The people banning books are never the same people who actually read books.

During the Biden spike in unauthorized immigration in 2021 and a slowdown from March 2024 to March 2025, the labor market moved in tandem with immigration flows. areas of the country experiencing the biggest slowdowns in unauthorized immigration also saw the biggest slowdowns in employment growth

The data showed that homes in Black neighborhoods are valued roughly 21 percent to 23 percent below what their valuations would be in non-Black neighborhoods.

Ding dong the tariffs are dead! 😵 oh wait… 🤦‍♂️

ICE are just worse cops. Not sure why anyone is surprised they lie about harming people.

w/ single payer healthcare lower and middle-income people would have a net savings (taxes are less than the eliminated premiums/costs). Leads to higher cash wages as employers pass on premium savings to employees. Workers are less tied to their jobs for insurance, improving labor market mobility

the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the Center for Geospatial Solutions published a report showing that corporations now own 1 in 11 residential real-estate parcels in the 500 urban counties.  In some communities, they control more than 20 percent of properties.

Economic growth is overwhelmingly driven by data centers. In the first half of this year, 92% of the increase in demand in our economy originated from just two relatively small components that are huge parts of data centers: information processing systems and software.

Thank you #blm. Less #police today than 2020 in almost every one of the country’s largest cities and still precipitate drops in #crime partly due to intervention policies but MOSTLY do to environment. 🤔

the tariffs specifically are responsible for US made products going up in price by 3.5%. - economist Alberto Cavalho Trump is so dumb

The Trump administration plans to slash HUD's homeless housing program funding by over 50%. This action jeopardizes the stability of tens of thousands who have left homelessness and will halt the development of new housing desperately needed by people on the streets and in shelters.
