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.

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Well, isn't this just a nice tidbit of happy news for the end of the day.

NDP gets parliamentary funding reinstated after last year's historic defeat | CBC News The NDP has been given a financial shot in the arm after getting its parliamentary funding reinstated by the committee that doles out cash for House of Commons operations.

Only in Canada!

The Liberals, Conservatives, and the Bloc all agreed to reallocate some of their funding to the NDP to help them function until the next election.

Damn, I am glad I live in a functioning democracy!

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

"Through deregulation... ....we are left with a forest ministry bereft of laws, of forest policy formulation and of any semblance of independence from the industry it should regulate."

I questioned this move at first but to your point, if Carney manages to get a slim majority, and 1 vote could be decisive, this move could give her (or any Liberal MP) a bit of leverage
