There is no point in being the fifth largest economy if the money is being hoarded by billionaires and corporations and not being spent to improve the lives of the people who worked to earn that money.

So, investors are doing very well at every one else’s expense. For the extremely dim, that may be seen as progress, I guess.
Ultimately, the size of the economy is a meaningless stat. We've just been trained to think it matters.
Real world impacts are more important.
Like this for example: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed
So with my secret MAGA decoder ring I got from a box of Froot Loops, I can translate that Kevin Warsh has investments set up for him by Epstein. He wouldn't say "yes or no" because if he verbally confirms, then his Name gets searched for in the Files.. What is Kevin Warsh hiding?
After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.
Is this why we went to WAR???

Bibi is a liar.
Israeli police attack the funeral procession of Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American Christian journalist who had been killed by Israel in the West Bank a few days earlier.
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?
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
"We had a ceasefire before October 7th".
No, honey. You had no ceasefire since Zionism was invented, and you'll never have peace until Zionism is abolished.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
✊ So begins the largest veteran and military family act of civil disobedience since the Iraq war began, occupying the Cannon building Rotunda - protesting yet another forever war with Iran. Info below @gregjstoker.bsky.social
This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
No one talks about the fact that they get to keep the capital gains on the 2nd homes WE buy for them.
Only the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations could put out a story about how the 2020 election was stolen to distract from the fact the Epstein Files haven't been released and that he is an alcoholic.
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......
Trump has been manipulating the Stock market for personal gain for 15 months.
Ist tariffs, now war.
I want the next Congress to skewer his ass. Take every dime he and his asshole kids have stolen from us.
The Hague will be very busy.
Apsana Begum: "Mandelsons political appointment.. personally decided by the PM & announced in public before the security vetting was completed.. had to happen.. because of Mandelsons role in the PMs leadership campaign & because it served the interests of one particular faction in Lab" 🎯
Last week in the mass media I constantly heard it announced that there were 20 antisemitic deaths in the world in 2025....more than any time in 30 years.
In the meantime Zionist Israel had murdered tens of thousands of Muslims in:
Gaza
The West Bank
Lebanon
Iran
Syria
and elsewhere

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...
When a war is fought on social media, America has lost all credibility. We no longer have allies. The midterms might help, but other countries are not just going to give us a pass. They will use this to their advantage, as they should, particularly as American citizens seem fine with it.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Meet James Bembridge, the Reform candidate for Westminster in next month’s local elections.
As well as this tweet, Temu Lex Luthor here, has also been quoted as saying "Most NHS nurses look like they're eating food banks out of business."
Don’t let him get his deposit back.
