No One be Surprised! Read the Response….

The CFTC has become a craven tool of prediction markets & shady crypto firms—ignoring national security risks while bullying state regulators & retaliating against staff attempting to enforce the law.

Airline ticket prices are surging. A major culprit? Rising jet fuel costs due to Trump's Iran war. But there's also the underlying concentration in the industry. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Less competition makes it easier for the biggest players to price-gouge.

One of the reasons 🤬

It's been over six months now and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files as required by law because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Just a friendly reminder to FDT!

Most Caribbean countries have restrictions on entry. Bahamas will only allow felons who have *completed* their sentences. A total of 38 countries will not allow felons to enter. #ProudBlue

Seventeen years without raising the federal minimum wage is unacceptable. Working people deserve a real living wage, protection from wage theft, and job security that puts families before corporate profits. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

"...for domestic American propaganda and media consumption" When you don't want to *say* "bullshit" but you need to clearly point out bullshit.

1. Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she’s taking on the AI industry, calling Big Tech’s data center boom the next major environmental shakedown facing American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at brockovichdatacenter.com, and within just one week, more than 1,600 residents had

If you're in the area impacted by this incident in Garden Grove, follow local evacuation orders and guidance from local emergency officials. Get the latest information ➡️ ggcity.org/emergency

There’s been nothing stopping anyone in Congress from reading the Epstein files, on the floor of the House and Senate. So why haven’t they? RELEASE THE DAMN EPSTEIN FILES!!

Hell Yeah Science☄️💥⚡️💯

Does Mamdani Have Any Brothers or Sisters Interested In Moving To The USA ! Asking For 49 States......

MacFarlane: Four members of Trump’s cabinet, all gone in quick succession, and all of them women. The breaking news to conclude the week is that Tulsi Gabbard is stepping down as director of national intelligence effective June 30.

Starbucks is abruptly scrapping its AI inventory tool for repeatedly miscounting and mislabeling items, just months after rolling it out at stores nationwide. It's the latest warning that the widely-hyped "AI revolution" could be a bubble that's going to burst.

Congratulations America your government just proved it can strong-arm and squash free speech when it hurts their fee-fees. Where is that right wing righteous rage now.

These data centers do not produce jobs. These centers raise electricity rates and create electric shortages. These centers use tens of millions of gallons of water and discharge toxic water, causing environmental pollution and noise pollution. Why are they getting billion-dollar tax breaks???

Every American should be disgusted by this.

Stephen Colbert has been a gift for 11 years- brilliant, stunningly knowledgeable, kind & hilarious . From his home, he with his family, helped us thru dark pandemic times. He won 11 Emmy Awards, 2 Grammys & 3 Peabody Awards. Thank you for all of it Stephen. We'll miss you ❤️

Interesting...well, let's see...oh, that's right because they CHEATED

Desperately keeping the Epstein files from being released …. Desperately avoiding his tax returns being audited .. Looting the Treasury at every turn …. Who could have seen this coming ?

I watched Stephen Colbert’s last The Late Show episode last night with a mixture of laughter, sadness and anger. Have you heard about who is replacing him? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-comedy-comedown

The Late Show aired its final episode on Thursday, bringing an end to Stephen Colbert’s decade-long run as host and the show’s 32-year run as CBS’s premier late-night talk show.

Donald Trump thinks he’s more popular than Stephen Colbert. He thinks people love him. He thinks people want more of him. Donald Trump is delusional.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

In Trump's second term, Bezos has received... -Huge new tax cuts for himself and Amazon -$260M+ in new Blue Origin federal contracts -A slap-on-the wrist FTC settlement for Amazon -A gutted NLRB led by a union-busting corporate lawyer No wonder he's singing Trump's praises.

Remember when Congress UNANIMOUSLY passed an act forcing release of all Epstein files and to explain all redactions? This entire admin is breaking the law. Lock THEM up!

America needs to pass a law mandating voting. Other Democratic countries do it. It should be REQUIRED for every person to place a vote as their civic duty. Too many people check out of politics, because they think it doesn't affect them. Making people vote would make them be involved.

Random reminder that banning elected officials from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Corruption has real world consequences—like addicting millions of kids to nicotine with flavored vapes. Big Tobacco’s $5 million lunch with Trump caused his personal intervention for a truly insidious policy.

Critical thinking develops through intellectual struggle. Humans must sit with difficult questions for which answers aren't obvious. Here's how AI can undermine the learning process.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

Two guilty verdicts from juries. Now, Big Tech is running scared. Meta, TikTok, & others are terrified of facing a courtroom for their harms to kids. Let’s keep up the momentum, & pass the Kids Online Safety Act.

Meta just paid its lowest ever effective tax rate, avoiding $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes thanks to tax breaks and loopholes. But starting this week, Meta will begin laying off 10% of its workforce. More than 8,000 people will lose jobs as it ramps up AI investment. Trickle down hoax.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30B/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $29B and counting It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

Unnerved at how effective the Brick is at getting me to get off my phone. This little gray plastic box has basically cut my screen time in half over the past few weeks, simply by leveraging my reluctance to get up off the couch if I want to doomscroll. Humbling stuff.

Stephen Colbert has been one of the most thoughtful, funny, and genuinely decent people on television. I’ve always enjoyed his work — especially the Colbert Report. Here’s a clip from when I was a guest back in 2010.

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach? BLANCHE: Excuse me? REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct? BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family. REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy

After a massive lobbying push by the chemical industry, Trump just rolled back landmark Biden-era limits on PFAS "forever chemicals" in our drinking water. How the hell is this making America healthy again?

This so-called "settlement" has somehow gotten even worse and more corrupt. This was not in the agreement that was released yesterday, by the way. "I.R.S. Must Drop Audits of Trump and Family" www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

I don't think Jackson's point—that public trust in the Court is eroding *because of* the Court's own actions—is wrong, but "everyone believes the court system is outside the political sphere" is a WILD way for her to preface it

In his first term, Trump ended an early pandemic warning program just months before the onset of COVID-19. Last year, he and Elon Musk gutted funding for agencies like the CDC and USAID that respond to infectious diseases like hantavirus and Ebola. The pro-virus president.

Headline may as well read: “King Trump and his princely sons declare themselves above the law, scrutiny, and justice — grant themselves divine right to pilfer public coffers for life.”

This monologue from Hannah Einbinder on the show “Hacks” perfectly encapsulates the frustration many people feel about AI. What are your thoughts?

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

“I think, if anything, we’re not providing enough care, rather than over-prescribing one class of medicine or another,” said Dr. Mark Rapaport, the president-elect of the American Psychiatric Association. https://ow.ly/WYSC50Z1bmX

Fans know the truth—it’s no accident that ticket prices are skyrocketing & scalpers hoard tickets. Ticketmaster/Live Nation is leveraging its monopolistic power to exploit consumers. Breaking up this behemoth & setting price caps on secondary sales is long overdue.

President Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history. They moved fast to avoid the scrutiny of the judicial process, and very likely violated the Constitution. This is an outrage.
