Everyone looks and sounds so bored during the WHCD magic show, unsurprisingly.

BREAKING: Trump to play wind instrument at his Freedom 250 birthday party concert. "You're in for a real toot", he boasted.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

Never mind the parts where Jesus criticized the Pharisees for performative, public displays of piety designed to gain human admiration rather than honor God.

Today seems like a good day to debunk the 12 biggest myths about taxing the rich. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnoLAMHwf2I

Betting on the outcomes of war. Every day it's more immorality and greed. Surely this only promotes apathy toward war, pro-war sentiment, and a path to profit from others' pain and misery. The people involved are deplorable. The fantasy football of war. theconversation.com/gamblers-can...

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Zohran Mamdani's speech is way better than any other Gotham Mayor's speech before him.

A democratic socialist wasn’t supposed to be able to win a major office like New York City mayor over the objections of billionaires. Yet Zohran Mamdani and the movement behind him built a campaign far stronger than the oligarchs and their unlimited money.

AKA "peace through killing". The US way.

Is anyone talking about how Trump keeps saying they're going to bring pharma drug prices down by 100, 200, 600, 1000%? Does this mean they'll be paying us to get them?

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

Unusual? What about all the bombs gleefully signed with messages by US politicians, and dropped by Israel on Gaza and Palestinians? The signings televized as if it were celebrated and somehow normal.

Watch this. This is what this criminal administration wants to do to all of us. Find the groups in your community that are standing up against ICE and join them.

"Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses." 1992, but seemingly timeless in 2025.

Live Nation–Ticketmaster controls nearly every corner of the US live music business, from ticketing to touring. In Portland, Maine, a coalition of venues, musicians, and art workers rallied the city against the industry’s most powerful monopoly.

Two aggressors meet to agree on conditions of surrender for the third, oppressed party (not in attendance). They then threaten the oppressed party and set the stage to blame the oppressed party for disrupting peace when they don't agree to the conditions. Right.

Sums it up well.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23. A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

Christianity in much of America has lost its true meaning and teachings.

I wonder if Trump realizes that you can't be the "leader of the free world" when no one wants to follow you.

I'm still kind of stunned that 'news' networks were so eager to promote, cover, broadcast and legitimize the evangelical Christian nationalist rally that was Charlie Kirk's memorial event.

After Neil's set CNN commentators make comments about nearly every song EXCEPT "Crime". Too spinless to talk about a song that wants fascism out of the White House and highlights crime in the White House.

Cheering for Rep. Ilhan Omar being interviewed by Kaitlan Collins tonight on CNN. She's standing her ground clearly and intelligently getting a barrage of questions that seemingly are part of some nagging agenda to force some kind of apology, and denial of who Charlie Kirk was.

I hope NFL teams have a moment of silence for Jimmy Kimmel going off-air.

Now, that's how you do it. Well played, my UK cousins!

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

It was refreshing to have somone who was able to throw some light on whom Kirk actually was. Anyones violent death is to be regretted and any assassination condemned, but lets not beatify a person who was a bigot, a homophobe, a racist with antiquated dystopian views. All on camera for all to see.

Michael Wolff says the president is trying to script “the perfect war,” with no help from the botched Iran-Israel ceasefire.

The transition of Republicans from “We’re not Fascists” to “What’s wrong with Fascism?” is now complete.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

If there was ever a symbol of why we need to get big money out of politics, reform campaign financing, stop conflicts of interest, and tax great wealth, Elon Musk is it. Kudos to Susan Crawford on this big victory for democracy, labor rights, and reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.
