A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more. It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get. Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

Hey, there’s no work in Washington, get your butts back to your districts and help us organize some General Strikes! Monday, bus drivers call out. Tuesday, students walk. Wednesday, retail store workers call in sick. Get the idea?! HELP US, ORGANIZE WITH US.

I understand. James Carville just put out the alarm that we are not scared enough saying it is going to get worse, and we are in the most dangerous times. Things we can't imagine. Did anyone imagine he'd tear down part of the Whitehouse? What if he tears it all down? He's tearing America down.

This is amazing. My big takeaway is that a lot of these Trump appointees, and definitely Lindsey Halligan, are desperately insecure about how stupid/unqualified they are for the positions they hold. Which just tells me we should talk about it more.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets. Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away. We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.

I’m encouraged by the framework reached to release the remaining hostages, end hostilities, surge humanitarian aid, and bring this war closer to its overdue end. The success of this deal, and the prospects for peace, rely on its implementation.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Idaho families could see premiums jump from $611 to $2,083 a month if Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to save the health care tax credits. That's an increase of $1,472 a month for the SAME plan. Republicans won’t talk about it but Democrats refuse to let that happen.

I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest Greta Thunberg is literally, in every meaningful way, tougher & a better leader than any elected official. Every single one. Some much more than others. Methods, policy, practicalities, those are all beside the point. You need passion, drive & humanity

The cuts in the Big Ugly Bill are what's behind this increase. The Dems are trying to save this from happening. I hope they hold out until they get it or millions of people are going to be in a world of hurt....

This shutdown is of Republicans' own making. Democrats are at the negotiating table. We don't have a long list of demands. We're not saying we need to find more money. We just want Republicans to restore the health care coverage they took away from millions of Americans.

This is the most inept administration to let the government shut down. Is it because then there will not be a vote to release the Epstein files? This regime is holding us hostage and Mike Johnson is enabling it to the detriment of Americans! We deserve better than this!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Mr. "No Wars of My Watch" Trump just committed an act of war on Venezuela, helped gather Hamas leaders in Qatar allowing Israel to blow them up, and allowed Putin to fly Russian warplanes into Polish/NATO airspace. Not a good look.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Why your groceries cost 8% more 🛒📈 It’s not just tariffs. Trump’s war on workers gutted our economy: • 155k farm workers gone • Fresh veggies up 8% • Restaurants up 5.3% • 1.2M workers vanished • Housing permits crashing Your receipts don’t lie, even if he does.
