Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice is demanding that Wayne County, Michigan turn over its ballots from the 2024 election to investigate voter fraud claims. Michigan’s attorney general and secretary of state have responded saying that’s not going to happen. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
🗳️Vote Out All Republicans!🗳️
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
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.
Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.
Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.
No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.
The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.
Trump hasn’t had an original thought in his life. He’s nothing more than a wannabe.
The question is, why has he been allowed to hold office in national politics for so long without someone brining this to light?
I feel the same way. Putting faith in anyone in politics, law, corporate leadership, etc is becoming nearly impossible. It would be so very refreshing to find a couple of candidates free from some reprehensible lingering activity(ies).
The duplicity of the Christian nationalists wreaks of grift and privilege.
What about those in the military who have been caught up in Trump’s illegal war? Will they end up paying for his crimes?
This is the leader of the “free world” receiving the first soldier bodies from the war he started. Even if you can ignore the baseball cap, the buffoon is pondering something inside of his suit jacket. He looks like a toddler checking to see if he has a penis. We are in trouble.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the European countries agreed to ban ALL of the pedophile friends of Trump and Epstein from traveling to their countries. What a very strong message that would send to victims and survivors. So far, the UK is doing it right with their own band of Epstein pedophiles.
Absolutely adorable.
I'm sorry, but what with everything else going on, I must have missed the EPSTEIN FILES being released.
🤷♂️🤦♂️
JD Vance is a crude little minion for Trump. He relies on Trump and his henchmen for material to spew at speaking events. The worst part, this scourge on our country continues to reproduce.
We're still waiting for those Epstein files to be released.
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Anyone who grocery shops routinely (millions and millions of us) knows that Trump has not dedicated time and effort to “solving” prices. It’s easy to compare grocery shopping receipts over a period of time. Only minor downward changes to few items.
Thank you
I’m still waiting on the “don’t tread on me” crowd to be as mad about armed masked men breaking down doors without warrants as they were about wearing a mask to Applebee’s…
That is fascinating. An act of nature I had never even considered.
If the uniform and deviant personality fit. . . you’re a Nazi.

On this day five years ago, Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th president, declaring, “Democracy is fragile. And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.”
I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.
It was splendid to see the changes to the Kingfisher during this process. Thank you.
