A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing. Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It’s even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

🚨 🚨 In 2022, 42% of Texas state house Republicans (36) did not have an opponent. All those elections were “cancelled.” In 2026, there won’t be a single uncontested race in Texas! Why? Because @texasdemocrats are running for EVERY seat! For the first time in decades. HUGE.

You don’t see this every day. Ohio’s sitting Republican Governor tells the media that the number one thing his own party is attacking the Democratic gubernatorial candidate (Amy Acton) on was HIS decisionmaking. 1/ www.nbc4i.com/news/your-lo...

This scared girl needs a foster ASAP

If you’ve lost track of the Calif. National Guard case, earlier this week, the Judge issued an important ruling. Why now, seemingly out of the blue? This post explains its significance, as Trump tries to create a national police force & deploy troops in US cities open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra said DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.” (Published Oct.)

this post 👇 ended up being timely today since Karoline Leavitt was finally asked what's going on with Trump's hand hours after it went up

That day I shook too many hands.

Grocery costs continue to increase. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing. What is Trump focused on right now? Starting another forever war in Venezuela. We need congressional oversight.

Well, there goes tourism.

I wrote something close to my heart today. It’s a love letter to immigrants, a story about lineage and fear and the defiance we inherit, and a reminder that solidarity is a choice we make every day. If this resonates, I hope you’ll read and share it. open.substack.com/pub/thejenni...

The US government is now a mafia organization.

If the anti-vaxxers were not fans of COVID lockdowns, wait until they find out it’s a 42 day quarantine for measles (with their kids at home).

Aaron Rupar is proof that some of the best journalists *are* stenographers. The simple act of recording and publishing the words that they themselves utter - especially when they are as risible as Noem's - is profoundly important.

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

the house just authorized a $900 billion expenditure for the military. unlike health care and education nobody ever bothers to ask "BUT hoW wIll you Pay FOR It?"

The White House surely wants to see one of these ICE crackdowns lead to violent pushback. They've got untrained unqualified goons acting with impunity. It seems deliberately designed to provoke an incident. But do the goons get this? Do they know the big plan is to get a couple of them killed?

Mpls Mayor Jacob Frey: "What we are seeing again & again is discrimination only to the extent that it applies to certain groups. So they're discriminating only as it applies to Latinos and Somalis ... you can't do that. You can't do that in Minneapolis. You can't do there anywhere in this country."

Ditto.

Before you speak on Jasmine Crockett, watch this. The disinformation machine has been working overtime since she announced for Senate.

DHS is saying this is a lie. My response? They have no credibility. This is not what I'm hearing from the community. This spokesperson is a miserable propagandist and proven liar, so there's no reason for anyone to believe her. I want proof that Jose is unharmed & being treated with basic dignity.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Threats to arrest elected lawmakers. A White House urging states to silence voters. Attempts to undermine our rights. This is what we’re up against. We’re ready to fight back—join our movement with President @barackobama.bsky.social & AG @ericholder.bsky.social: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

Trump’s Golden Age.

California's success is not an accident — it's by design. - 18% of the world's R&D - 13,000+ active patents in the UC system - Most Fortune 500 companies - $180B invested in infrastructure We dominate in every single category across the board.

Bass: We had an important victory today from the courts. The court determined what we knew all along: we do not need National Guard troops in our city. We didn’t need them in June, and we certainly don’t need them in December. I’m glad a decision was made saying the president is out of line

California Derangement Syndrome has blinded people’s ability to see that California is a donor state — giving more money to the federal government than it receives.

"...reflecting the effects of tariffs." I hope MAGA is listening.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

MAGA www.wsj.com/articles/u-s...

$140 million of our tax payer dollars spent on this cruelty. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Energy prices way up since Trump took office. For myself, I know this because I'm paying about $65 to $75 more per month between gas, electricity, and sewer.

Reposting this because the crimes against humanity by this fascist regime are mounting up on the daily! If you agree like many others, please repost as well!

"Big Tech and data center developers appear to be siting data centers in vulnerable communities...These locations show a troubling trend - they primarily impact working class and Black and Latine communities."

Blackstone is trying to buy New Mexico utilities so it can enable data center construction. The acquisition would be a key expansion by the world’s largest private equity firm, and it’d bleed ratepayers dry. From James Baratta: trib.al/qrhxq9t

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

For decades, we've been fed the same lie: homelessness is the fault of the homeless. And that lie is what lets pundits and politicians openly push for camps, crackdowns, and even killing unhoused people, instead of facing the reality of why millions can't afford a home. I spoke with Second Thought:

Tuesday - ICE agents used pepper spray to push through a crowd that blocked their vehicles as they checked IDs in a Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis. The Trump administration is targeting this community and they know it.
