If you're the CEO of Starbucks you get $96 million for 4 months of work including a $5 million bonus on your 1-month anniversary. If you're a Starbucks union worker, the CEO is refusing to offer you a raise of more than 50 cents an hour. That's what corporate greed looks like.

It really does seem that, for Republicans, the top qualification for running the world’s largest, most complex bureaucracy — which also happens to be the most lethal organization in human history and is charged with nothing less than protecting our country — is owning the libs

I missed this, but NBC News got confirmation that just 52% of the people ICE arrested so far have any criminal history at all. By comparison, last year 72% of ICE arrests were of a person with a criminal record. Explains why Karoline Leavitt was so evasive today when asked about this.

⚡️JUST NOW IN TENNESSEE: Grandmothers, mothers, clergy CARRIED OUT of the GOP immigration crackdown bill committee hearing (chaired by Rep Chris Todd) by troopers after sitting quietly with signs 👇🏽

1000%. With Trump and the MAGA movement, you actually don't get a choice about whether to collaborate. You have a choice about whether to fully capitulate or whether to fight back. We choose to fight.

CNN: What protections does this law have in place to protect folks who may have entered the country illegally, but have since obtained permission to stay temporarily? KRISTI NOEM: Well, this bill is all about those who commit crimes. CNN: But you can simply be accused and then

BREAKING: Trump just signed the Laken Riley Act. This unconstitutional bill directs the authorities to detain and deport immigrants based on an accusation of a non-violent crime. This dangerous bill violates our Constitutional right to due process.

Google removed the pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance from its AI principles

Looks like Kash Patel lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he tried to distance himself from the J6 Prison Choir he promoted—a group of January 6 rioters that included violent offenders. GOP senators are backing as FBI chief a guy who hailed cop-beaters.

The real 'waste' in Medicare is the money Medicare Advantage providers--private insurance companies like Aetna and UnitedHealth--steal from taxpayers and the elderly. Covered this for More Perfect Union last year:

I dug in to Musk's dismantling of USAid because it shows his playbook for capturing the whole federal government. What surprised me was his direct involvement in the operation. For example, he demanded suspension of 57 career officers by phone last Monday. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/f…

Kash Patel, Trump's pick to head the FBI, revealed that he previously worked for the Embassy of Qatar. He never registered as a foreign agent. This is a serious national security concern. The Senate Judiciary committee must call him back for further questioning.

DOGE has not presented evidence of "fraud"; they have highlighted millions of dollars worth of spending that Musk considers wasteful. By contrast, the GAO identified $233 billion of fraud in 2024. We don't need to let a billionaire ignore federal law to do government oversight

The tape and transcript refutes President Trump’s assertions that CBS committed “election interference.” He charged that “they took the answer out in its entirety, threw it away, and they put another answer in.” That’s been proven false.

One of the many stupid things about this very stupid discourse: the data on usaspending.gov has been publicly available for years. Anyone could have looked up the cost of the government’s politico pro subscriptions in 2024 or 2022 or 2020.

Jesus christ, you should operate assuming every viral political tweet from an influencer is inaccurate until you look into the evidence yourself. This "$29 million" does NOT show money to the NYTimes, it shows money to anything with "New York" like NYU.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

Who could possibly have seen this coming?

A room full of innocent little girls being conditioned into bigotry by their Christianist parents.

The Alejandro Kirk extension (as first reported by Robert Murray) buys out one arb year & four free agent years. So one way to look at this would be: final arb year for $8 million, first four free agent years at approx. $12.5 million per season.
