Since retaking office, Trump's net worth has nearly tripled to $6.5B. Almost all of that has come from his crypto ventures — an industry he's deregulated at our collective risk to line his own pockets. We must not become numb to this corruption.

A message from Mary, a 72-year-old Amazon worker from North Carolina projected onto Jeff Bezos’s $120 million penthouse before tonight’s #MetGala, chaired by Bezos.

As if we ever believed these private donors existed. We've known since day 1 that we'd be left holding the bag for this abomination

Gekkomon! Ya know!

The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump. Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done. Yet only one is considered a "power grab." Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.

one required, but sadly enormous, shift in the way americans view things: recovering an understanding that a democratic government is a collective enterprise that should deliver tangible services and benefits to people

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.  Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

It simply does not get better than this

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Thousands of IRS enforcement agents have been pushed out since Trump returned. As a result, more complex audits of the rich and private equity firms have plunged. Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for the powerful to skirt what they owe.

I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

you have a lovely home

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

my boomer take is that if I've mustered up the will to make an important phone call, I should not have to talk to an incompetent robot. give me an incompetent human over that shit any day

The hack of Kash Patel's emails shows that cybersecurity hygiene is just for the little people - who are now on the hook for a $10 million award for info leading to the arrest of the hackers: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-direct...

Mere months into 2026, just 50 American billionaires have already pumped a jaw-dropping $433 MILLION into the midterm elections — the overwhelming majority of which has benefitted Republicans. Citizens United is corrupting our system every day.

I need a whole lot less “I’d die for her/my kids/my family” and a whole lot more “I’ll do the dishes for her/my kids/my family.”

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

“The United States contributes far more to worldwide suffering than any of our so-called ‘allies’ in NATO, and it’s high time these other countries started stepping up to the plate,” said the commander-in-chief

I think one of the most eye-opening moments I've had recently is realizing that the USA has a large, powerful group of people who genuinely believe there's no point saving the earth because a rapture will happen and the "good" people will be saved. Like genuinely believe they alone get salvation.
