Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.

Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.

This is what corporate greed looks like.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

States are struggling to meet their clean energy goals. Blame data centers Nevada's largest utility says it will need three times the electricity required to power Las Vegas just to handle proposed data centers -- and it probably can't do that without fossil fuels.

President Trump on Sunday morning unleashed on Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to strike the country’s infrastructure and urging Tehran to “open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy bastards.”

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Still shocking 😳🤯🤣

The Real Cost of Voter ID Laws — And Who Pays the Highest Price Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

Every eligible citizen should be able to vote without unnecessary barriers.

Voter ID laws undermine that principle by turning a right into a privilege that can be lost.

And who’s bearing the brunt of that cost? Those who’ve been historically disenfranchised.

We are with you. Keep reporting!

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Terrible. So many undocumented folks work,own homes, and pay taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN. Now they can be identified through the IRS and punished for doing the right thing by paying taxes and contributing.

How can they dictate what people do to grow professionally when on their personal time with their personal money?

Today we celebrate the birthday of labor icon and civil rights champion Dolores Huerta—a fearless organizer who taught us to speak up, stand tall, and never back down. Her legacy lives on in every union member fighting for justice.
