"Preemptive Pardons" and Democracy do not mix. #crime
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
The Hungarian leader’s *son-in-law* was the benefactor Of presidential contracts. Oh gee, where have we heard that before? #maddow
Love these guerilla parking signs from an anonymous LA artist telling ICE they are not welcome!

The story of the Sea Squirt has a parallel in humans.
The first American Pope in history is a great honor.
And yet he won’t be coming home on July 4th as originally scheduled.
When the Pope looks at the U.S. and says, “No thank you,” it’s an indictment.
Of our politics.
Our corruption.
Our greed disguised as freedom.👇

You’re a true champion — and not only in Maths 💙💛
So the NYT live feed that did not include Trump’s belligerent language … do we think they are using GenAI?

Hey media--
Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections.
Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice.
Language matters.
How corporate vultures got rich by deliberately bankrupting Joanne Fabrics. Infuriating! Democrat candidates: we need laws against this!

When preparing to interview someone, do your homework. Prepare questions that show you’ve read some of your subject’s work and understand their position in their field. It’s always a privilege to interview your heroes.

The most crooked AG in history got fired today.
Not because she was crooked.
Because she wasn’t good enough at it.
If we bought a few less bombs, we could probably afford nice things.
One thing I'd like to see from the next presidency would be to appoint a special commission to prepare a report on the actual cost to defend the United States from attack.
Not foreign wars.
Just the cost to defend this country.
"Biggest scam in modern political history."
NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.
Pam Bondi still has to testify, under oath, in front of the Oversight Committee regarding the Epstein Files.
Her employment status does not get her out of that bipartisan, lawful subpoena.
We will see her again, soon.
Enjoy. 😎✨

Here’s the thing. I don’t care about your religious beliefs or your moral and ethical codes until it interferes in the lives, and the rights of others. Just because you claim to take guidance from a 2000 year old book of fiction, you do not get to invalidate the existence of the LGBTQIA+ community.
