Imagine how much stupid pointless bullshit could have been avoided simply by not using the spicy autocorrect that is by design literally incapable of not farting out inaccuracies and just, you know, doing the work you were actually already doing a couple years back

Traders placed a series of bets worth $430 million on a drop in crude prices just 15 minutes before U.S. President Donald Trump said he would extend a ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday. It is the third time this month, and the fourth in total, that large, well-timed directional ...
TAT: [Corruption]
Screenshot of a tweet by The Halfway Post (@HalfwayPost) satirically reporting that Kash Patel is threatening to sue anyone who calls him "J. Edgar Boozer," a play on FBI founder J. Edgar Hoover. No image or video is embedded.
Oh that's a good one!
Jay Bhattacharya pulls a study because he doesn’t like the conclusions. I cannot explain how bad this is and how it reeks of the stench of ideological zealotry and has no basis in science. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...
Screenshot of an Aaron Rupar tweet quoting Rep. Robert Garcia announcing that Democratic members would not participate in a congressional roundtable, calling it a fake hearing "set up to appear like one," and noting that Attorney General Pam Bondi had skipped a legally required deposition the prior week. The embedded video shows Garcia speaking at a hearing table with a nameplate reading "Mr. Garcia, Ranking Member."
Pam Bondi must appear under oath to testify. If they made Hillary Clinton show up, who has nothing to do with Epstein, then Bondi must testify given all she's done to cover up the crimes.
As we’ve come to expect the unacceptable, from the purveyor of misinformation and fabrication

This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/dig...
The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari and this "Journal" should be reported.
Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.
Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in.
All of this is absurd.
Kash Patel's sworn testimony to Congress that there was "no evidence" that Epstein trafficked the girls to other men was perjury, pure and simple. Same for Bondi's testimony. Same for Blanche's testimony that all files have been released. They are all liars happy to perjure themselves for Trump.
High gas prices caused by Trump’s war on Iran are boosting Big Oil profits at your expense.
And they’re still getting billions of dollars in tax breaks every year — meaning you’re effectively getting charged twice.
Here’s what you need to know about Big Oil’s one-two punch.
Poll: If we rebrand "mRNA vaccines" as "DIY peptide makers", will more people accept them?
Trump has received $135 million in political contributions from the oil, coal, and natural gas industries.
In return he's throttled renewable energy production in America, which can help guard against volatile price spikes stemming from, say, wars in the Middle East.
Corruption on steroids.
“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.”
This is why we should fund science. 🧪
‘Staggering’ number of people believe unproven claims about vaccines, raw milk and more
Survey results suggest a rise in questioning of scientific evidence.

"overabundance of conflicting information, from social media, news and peers in real life"
What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common?
California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.
Pretty unclear as to how reliable a source Johnson is (see his prior posts over the years)
This is shameful
Look at this chart.
Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.
States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).
I hope Gov. Hochul does.
A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?
I remember the Vietnam War well. Trump should too — we're the same age.
I was too short to serve and lost good friends in the war. Trump pretended to have bone spurs.
That war was characterized by lies, arrogance, and stupidity.
What's happening in Iran is starting to feel a lot like Vietnam.
You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?
The Justice Department.
A "lot done" ? Well, if that means taking credit for the brilliance of Tesla engineers and Space X engineers - yep. If you mean the ability to get government contracts and subsidies (which kept both of those afloat at key times) - yep...
So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.
The Art of the Deal.
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.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.
It's a disgrace.
