Mere months into 2026, just 50 American billionaires have already pumped a jaw-dropping $433 MILLION into the midterm elections — the overwhelming majority of which has benefitted Republicans.
Citizens United is corrupting our system every day.
Haha hey anybody remember Jill Stein?
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.

Escorting journalists away in cuffs?? Really??
You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

Hell of a photo
EVERYBODY WATCH.
ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

The Trump admin just terminated the Ready to Learn grant program that helped bring you Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, and Clifford the Big Red Dog. We must protect public broadcasting.

Musk’s DOGE allies have been spearheading a new communications project at the FAA and forcing staff involved to sign NDAs, sources tell us.

Don't put in the newspaper that she is a history buff.
The review of the Smithsonian museums for "improper ideology" is being led by a 35-year old lawyer who has no experience or credentials in history or museum studies.

A statement by Seth Rogan about the evisceration of science in the US, made at an awards ceremony attended by Schmuckerberg, Bezos, and Brin, was edited out of the final version that aired. The "Breakthrough Prize" *for science* was originally established by Schmuckerberg and Brin.
