Why doesn't CNN ever report on how much money the DOD is losing. Or ICE?

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's. Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1. Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Pencils down, Whitehouse. Test is over. You didn't pass.

Government efficiency with MAGA charactertistics.

Stephen Miller should be more afraid of his boss spending an overnight with his daughter.

This is a weird perspective to take…someone representing American interests might have said, “The American delegation held productive and constructive meetings with…” How does Witkoff know what Russia is fully committed to?

Reminder that Bari Weiss held the 60 Minutes piece on migrant gulags with the suggestion that Stephen Miller (whose number she has) should comment. Maybe if 60 Minutes could just post this video alongside the story, it would meet Weiss's vaunted editorial standards.

Still, 1/3 SCOTUS justices want to give the president the power to establish an unchecked police state.

Leading @epi.org's top publications this year: "Tariffs-Everything you need to know but were afraid to ask.” Just as relevant now as when we published it at the beginning of the year. Still have tariff Q's? Leave them in the comments. www.epi.org/publication/...

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

It's been reposted elsewhere. is.gd/paU8Ko

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

As CECOT is back in the news, reposting this from May. www.justsecurity.org/113026/us-ag...

Government efficiency with MAGA characteristics.

Because you're covering the administration's Epstein files cover up, right? Right?

Usha, we need to talk, sister.

Congratulations, you moved us asymptomatically toward 0 job growth overall and cost nearly 70k manufacturing jobs so far. #winning

Ladies and gentlemen, your next Federal Reserve chairperson.

Another way to tell if Trump is making it up: his lips are moving... "There’s a 92 percent chance Trump is making it up" www.msn.com/en-us/politi...

All 13 major sectors of economy experienced declines in employment growth. Divide sectors into 2 groups with roughly equal shares of jobs, but where 1 employs more unauthorized labor... employs 78% of unauthorized workers. Account for only 36% of decline in employment from 2024 to May-Aug 2025

In Boston, we like our protests with a whole lot of history. #teaparty #dumpICE #Dec16

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you government efficiency with MAGA characteristics.

Greatest misses?

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

Yes, they're British. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't honor this anniversary with a national holiday.

🚨NEW REPORT: Did Trump really fix NAFTA?: What USMCA failed to do and how to put workers first in North American trade. Trump pledged to fix “The worst trade deal ever made.” 5 years later, things are only getting worse for US trade and North American workers 👀🧵 ...1/n www.epi.org/publication/...

Trump’s USMCA has failed North American workers: 📈 U.S trade deficit widened 📉 U.S. manufacturers shed jobs ⛴️ Imports skyrocketed 💸 The wage gap fuels offshoring 🇨🇳 Chinese manufacturing exploits duty-free loopholes building an advantage in Mexico. It doesn't have to be this way.

Trump replaced NAFTA with the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement in 2020. With USMCA up for review, @ahecon.bsky.social advocates for a model that protects workers and preserves mutual benefits of trade 1/

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Instead of TSA screening, we should just have an American Ninja Warrior obstacle course.

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

Pretty well established finding that immigration raids of workplaces reduce student test performance for nearby schools, including for non-vulnerable students. The general DHS surge appears to be doing the same for student performance. www.nber.org/papers/w34452
