This is the best video description of our wealth inequality issue I have come across...
Wow.
This video is truly eye-opening.
Take a couple minutes to watch this.
A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America.
This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires #UnionsForAll

One of the biggest donors to American political candidates giving an award to the former head of a foreign intelligence service is certainly a look.

Months after a fund tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump put about $30 million into a nearly bankrupt spa company, the Trump administration awarded that company nearly $40 million in federal contracts to screen for Ebola.
The company made most of its money from airport spas and waxing salons.
It had never worked with Ebola.
It had never worked overseas.
Yet part of the money is for work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people this year. The company's CEO said, "I'm not sure we can do it."
This keeps happening. The same Trump-linked fund invested in a drone company, and five months later that company got an Air Force contract worth up to $90 million. A startup linked to Trump Jr. got a $620 million Pentagon loan after a top White House aide stepped in.
Their fund buys in, and federal money follows. Taxpayers foot the bill, and with Ebola, our safety is on the line too.
This is all totally corrupt.
Americans deserve answers under oath, and our conflict of interest and procurement laws must be enforced.

Trump dumping his Nvidia stock a few weeks before this Chinese spy story dropped is the least shocking thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
Straight to jail.

Starbucks revenue was down nearly 5% this recent reported quarter. That was after only a month of the boycott. Lets. Fucking. Go!
The #BoycottStarbucks coffee truck is going coast to coast to say: skip Starbucks until union baristas have a fair contract!
Working people are sipping solidarity spice latte alongside baristas to let the company know: we don’t sip with corporate bullies who disrespect workers.

November 11, 1990: Derrick Thomas sacks Seahawks QB Dave Krieg 7 times at Arrowhead.
However, with :04 left in the 4th quarter, Krieg wiggled out out of what would have been Thomas’ 8th sack and threw the game-winning TD, to lift the Seahawks to a 17-16

Yep.
Massive electoral overpeformers like James Talarico ran as far away from Bernie’s message as possible — lambasting a rigged economic system that makes it impossible for working people to get by, calling out the greed of billionaires and advocating raising their taxes, focusing on a top-versus-bottom vs. left-versus-right division, raising the minimum wage, getting big money out of politics…
HEY WAIT A MINUTE
If the election was a test of whether Americans like Sanders’s message more or less than the standard Democratic message, the answer was clear: They like it less. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

Rep. Ansari was born in Seattle. She cannot be denaturalized, because she never naturalized in the first place.
Regardless of that, there’s something rotten about people like Will who seek to devalue American citizenship by making it easy to strip away.

I gotta say — and it's a tough contest — but if there is one cabinet official in this administration that's maximally guilty of dirty-deeds-done-cheap for China and Russia, my money's on Howard Lutnick. He's been at it for decades.

Scott Colom is the first black Senator to represent the state of Mississippi in ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY YEARS.
The last time a black senator represented Mississippi the car, the airplane, the radio, television and antibiotics hadn't been invented yet.
Meanwhile Republicans voted yes on legislation to gut VA benefits to the tune of $57B. It isn't strange why they lost so badly in the mid term elecitons.
This Veterans Day, let us renew our commitment to those who served by confronting the injustices too many veterans still face, from homelessness and isolation to the threat of deportation.
Our responsibility to those who served does not end when they come home.

I jumped out of airplanes for a living. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I won’t be intimidated by a corrupt White House and its bootlicking lawyers.
.@NewsHour has obtained this letter from White House counsel Will Scharf sent to likely incoming Oversight Chairman Robert Garcia. Scharf writes that congressional oversight must “further a legitimate legislative task.” And accuses Democrats of “abusive and capricious threats”

Stunning report. At this point it seems like Howard Lutnick and Jeff Kessler are just outright defying the President's orders on export controls. The President apparently ordered Secretary Lutnick to crack down on China's access to controlled AI chips in Southeast Asia--and reportedly has ordered this three separate times--and they're just...not doing it.
Why is Lutnick refusing to act? Why is he allowing China to continue to get AI chips via Southeast Asia? At this point, Lutnick isn't just protecting Nvidia, he's straight up protecting Chinese companies--reportedly against the wishes of the President and the entire rest of the Cabinet. Is Lutnick personally benefitting from China getting access to AI chips?
This is a total breakdown inside the administration on a major national security issue. There has to be accountability for this. Congress obviously will investigate, but how is it that the President's own appointees are just refusing to execute the President's orders? I've never seen anything like this.

It’s Veterans Day. And House Republicans just passed a bill to cut Veterans benefits by $57 billion, according to the VA’s own estimates.
This is how they’re thanking our heroes for their service.

Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day
This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark.
This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.
