Senator Jon Ossoff neatly breaks down political corruption in America — and how Trump’s “Mar-a-Lago mafia” has exploited it.
Every single Democrat should be saying this.

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.
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.
On January 6th, 2021, when Trump incited an insurrection, America's corporate leaders rushed to distance themselves from him.
Today, as Trump destroys our democracy at home and stages more coups abroad, they're sucking up to him to pad their own bottom lines.
Trump's Never-ending War and Trump's Never-ending Tariffs are pushing up Never-ending price increases. All of this is happening because of the unilateral decision making of one man. The question is, will he pay the price for it during the midterms?
The Department of Labor has improved the lives of millions of people. I worked like hell as secretary of labor because I believed in what we were doing.
What's happened at the department under this latest Trump regime is an insult to generations of DOL employees, to American workers, to America.
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
Like so much else Trump has done, he’s turned what was once a great department into a fucking mess. And it frankly breaks my heart.

How did my generation – the baby boomers – squander the potential our parents left us?
What can our children do to correct our mistakes?
These are the central questions of my new memoir: Coming Up Short.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.
Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.
California is showing us what a pluralistic democracy looks like. While the GOP is busy fighting each other, we’re focused on protecting the climate and expanding rights. Let’s keep the progress going! 🐻☀️ #CAnext #DemocracyInAction
No… Tucker,
you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.
You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.
You can rot.
And #wethepeople have paid millions — upon MILLIONS — of dollars so this unfathomably depraved SELF-PROFESSED sexual assaulter can golf.
The most expansive cover-up in American history must END.
STOP. PREDATORS.

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
Did American voters really think it was cute to vote for someone whose thing is to call people names? It’s something we’re taught at an early age not to do.
Minor in the scheme of things, but such a telling characteristic.
The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.
Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

So how long before Fox admits "we made a mistake." Not on purpose, of course. 🤥

This is what authoritarians want. A compliant press core that transmits their propaganda.
Purveyors of brilliant operations don’t have to proclaim their operations are brilliant.
I think everyone is making too much of this. It's not as if Hegseth took out a gun at the end of the "prayer" and shot the person laughing in the front row.
This guy is definitely not a Fox News viewer.
Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
An exciting day: I’m testifying today in a Senate hearing about the possible merger between Paramount & Warner Bros.
This kind of power consolidation is a danger to freedom of speech and media independence so it must be fully vetted.
Hope you’ll tune in and watch:
