White men are 98% of Presidents, 98% of US senators, 94% of the Supreme Court, 90% of the House of Representatives, 90% of CEO’s while making up only 30% of the population… YOUR OPPRESSION IS NONEXISTENT.

An offensive and deeply destructive action by the White House. When the people of Western Colorado need assistance the most — as recovery from the Elk & Lee fires continues — President Trump abandons them in a blatant act of retaliation against our state. Shameful.

We have to ask ourselves: If Watergate happened today, would our biggest news outlets be allowed to run the story? Or would a billionaire owner decide that crossing the administration just isn't worth it for his bottom line?

Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.

This is what happens when a Trump ally — one of the wealthiest people in the world — buys CBS. Sharyn Alfonsi is right: the media cannot be a stenographer for the state. Democracy requires a free press that holds power accountable — not billionaires who silence it.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%. The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion. Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024. Nothing trickled down.

Deputy Huizar entered Adele Shirey’s home without a warrant, told her “I own your house right now,” and arrested her. Charges dropped. Now she’s suing. This is how we demand accountability.

Trump is now denying our state critical disaster relief for political retribution because Governor Polis won’t bend the knee and transfer Tina Peters. This funding is critical to help us recover from wildfires & floods. It’s truly unimaginable that our president weaponizes every

DOJ official Todd Blanche issued a memo to shut down enforcement against crypto companies while he still held more than $150,000 in crypto investments, ProPublica found. One expert called it “an obvious conflict of interest.” propublica.org/article/todd-b…

By ingratiating himself with Trump, Peter Navarro has become one of the world’s most influential economists. “The things he says now violate the most elementary principles of macroeconomics—stuff you learn in the first semester,” a Georgetown economist said.

This overweight ICE agent has been in trouble for excessive force numerous times & he’s seen here kneeling down on the back of a woman in her 5th month of pregnancy! He also started dragging her to his vehicle face down in the snow & she lost the baby a few days later! Pro life

The Hunt family is worth $25 billion. So of course they need $1.8 billion in public money to build a new stadium. For NFL owners, it’s the gilded era. Forever.

BREAKING: Chris Whipple, a former 60 Minutes investigative reporter, just explained how Bari Weiss’ efforts to bury the CECOT story have now made it one of the most read stories this year. This is amazing.

During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.   And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.   Shameful.

Bari Weiss has “a curiously narrow definition of free speech”—one in which free speech means whatever conservatives want to say, Adam Serwer argues.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to Americans cheated by big banks and giant corporations. So naturally, Trump and Republicans are trying to shut it down. Trump sided with companies scamming hardworking Americans. I won’t stop fighting back.

This move is unbelievably stupid. These offshore wind projects went through years of review by the FAA and the Pentagon and were already approved, built, and in some cases operating. Claiming “national security” now is nonsense. Shutting them down weakens the grid, kills

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas. Remember: these are people who entered the country legally. Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

How did DOGE disrupt so much but save so little? In DOGE’s published list of canceled contracts and grants, the 13 largest were all incorrect. Of the 40 biggest claims on DOGE’s list, only 12 appeared accurate, per The New York Times analysis led by Emily Badger nytimes.com/2025/12/23/us/…
