🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Food wastage should be a crime with so many millions near starvation, but a lady in Spain is doing her best. Bravo!

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.

“And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

Tesla paid $1 billion in taxes to China & $0 in federal income taxes to the US. At least 88 highly profitable corporations paid $0 federal income tax last year while bringing in $ billions. Disney, CVS, Palantir, Taco Bell & others are making massive profits, paying executives enormous ⬇️

Janet Mills says she opposes attempts to stop funding Israel’s defenses Mills said at a campaign stop Friday that she would have issues with any effort to prevent the sale of defensive weapons for Israel's Iron Dome.

Janet Mills says she wouldn't have voted for the resolutions in the Senate to restrict arms sales to Israel— and her reason is that the resolutions would've blocked Iron Dome interceptors.

The two resolutions had nothing to do with Iron Dome interceptors and were about bulldozers and 1000lbs bombs.

Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern, often drinking to the point of obvious intoxication. Meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights. On multiple occasions, his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was intoxicated.

In a major state antitrust investigation, California's Attorney General has unsealed hundreds of records revealing that Amazon illegally pressures its marketplace sellers to engage in price-fixing.

While Trump's DOJ lets corporate lawbreakers off the hook, states are still holding them accountable.

Meta is expected to slash 10% of its global workforce - 8000 employees - in the first round of layoffs on May 20, Reuters reports. And more to come,

How’s that AI working out for you?

Remember this fuck when his name comes on the ballot.

Does he even realize what he's saying.

We should be learning from other countries...

A traitor to both his party and his country.

$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn b

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.

Yes, $30 million per HOUR.

All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

Things are finally changing. Let's keep pushing and push harder. And let's also not miss the fact that it took a horrific genocide and a disastrous war for so many of our neighbors to start dealing with reality.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Or we could just be like other countries and not force our citizens to do their own taxes at all since the IRS already knows what the correct number is. Make that bill happen.

As promised, here’s my tax day rant.

For 99% of taxpayers, the IRS already has the data to send you an almost fully completed 1040 for you to add a few pieces of data to, automatically recalculate, be done.

It doesn’t because of Intuit.

Trump Threatens to Fire Powell if He Does Not Resign From Fed

Breaking NYT:

Trump is now threatening to fire Jerome Powell if he does not resign from the Federal Reserve.

Powell's term as Fed chair officially ends on May 15, but he can stay on as a governor until 2028 and has said he would not leave until the criminal investigation is over.

Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

They Did Not Win Every Swing State in 2024!

This reminds me of what I saw at FDR’s library regarding his accomplishments in the first 100 days.
Good for him. And for the people of NYC for having the sense to elect him.

How to Abolish the Electoral College | Robert Reich Why should the presidential election always come down to the same swing states? Shouldn't your vote count as much no mat

If you don't live in a "swing state," your vote counts less. But we can reform the Electoral College and fix that.

Since we made this video, Maine and now Virginia have joined the National Popular Vote compact.

Here's what you need to know.

Electoral College cartogram showing which states are in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and which ones could join in time for it to activate by 2028. Each state is sized and labeled according to its number of electoral votes. The states are spaced out enough to accommodate the changes in size but retain their general shapes and relative positions on the map. Current members are in solid orange, potential members are in light green, and nonmembers that are unlikely to join are in medium gray. Members have 222 electoral votes, potential states have 68, and the unlikely states have 248. The compact would only activate once states with at least 270 electoral votes have joined. The seven potential members and their electoral vote are Alaska (3), Arizona (11), Michigan (15), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), Pennsylvania (19), and Wisconsin (10). Democrats would need to gain the governor's office and/or legislative chambers to win unified power in these states, as detailed in the spreadsheet linked in this post.

NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate.
