Corporate greed is Microsoft making $134 billion in profits last year, receiving $19 billion in tax breaks under Trump, paying a lower federal income tax rate than a nurse and getting rid of 60,000 workers.
“Corporations will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a total scam.
Norway is one of the most democratic and prosperous countries on Earth.
Free health care
Free college
Strong democracy
Free press
Trump says “Norway sucks” and is a “shithouse country” because it won’t give him the Nobel Prize.
Insane. We have a mentally unbalanced president.
Congratulations to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his reelection victory in Brazil.
Despite Big Tech oligarchs and Trump tilting the playing field against him, Lula prevailed.
He will continue to fight for Brazilian workers and democracy over the next four years.
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is right. The people of her state are more than capable of running their own elections without Trump’s illegal intervention.
Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates, and the State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot. The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit.

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than:
Disney
American Airlines
Citigroup
CVS
DoorDash
GoDaddy
H&R Block
HP
Kohl’s
Ticketmaster
Palantir
PayPal
Roku
Southwest Airlines
Tesla
United Airlines
Pizza Hut
Taco Bell
KFC
Absurd. We need REAL tax reform.
Climate change killed 32,000+ people in Europe this summer.
Trump believes this crisis is a "hoax." Republicans in Congress are following their "Great Leader.”
NO to Trump’s fossil fuel agenda. YES to creating millions of jobs by moving our energy system away from fossil fuels.
This is insane. We cannot allow AI agents to go into your bank account and act independently without your authorization. But that is what’s happening right now.
Left unchecked, AI could endanger the entire global financial system — including your bank account.
Pause AI NOW!
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Per Axios, detected AI agents access bank accounts with the customer’s permission. This violates most banks’ terms requiring human logins, which is why banks call it “unauthorized.”

A new survey reveals a record-high 92 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured.
Why? Trump and Republicans made massive cuts to Medicaid and the ACA to pay for tax breaks for the 1%.
Thousands will die because they can’t afford healthcare.
We must pass Medicare for All.
As the NBA season begins this week, remember:
26 out of 30 NBA owners are billionaires — getting richer every day.
Meanwhile, the average ticket price to see the Knicks play the Sixers last night cost $1,894.
No. You should not have to be rich to take your kids to a ball game.
Shawn Fain is right. It is an outrage that GM is spending $20 billion on stock buybacks to enrich its wealthy shareholders, while 80% of its autoworkers no longer have a pension or retiree health benefits.
That $20 billion should be going to workers, not Wall Street executives.
10 million Americans can't afford their student loans.
Now Trump wants to hire private debt collectors to seize their wages, Social Security checks and tax refunds.
This is INSANE.
We need tuition-free public college, not a government that punishes people for struggling.
Trump administration officials are preparing to impose financial penalties on millions of Americans in default on their federal student loans next year, according to five sources familiar with the matter.

That’s great, Mr. Trump. I’d like to report a theft.
A man inside our government illegally spent nearly $22 million in taxpayer dollars on bogus campaign ads praising himself. He now resides on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Taxpayers want to know when they’ll get their money back.
Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "All Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"
Disgraceful.
Trump sacrifices Ukrainian lives in order to appease his fellow authoritarian, Mr. Putin.
The U.S. must release the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine.
No U.S. alliance with the Russian dictatorship.
Breaking news: The Trump administration has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian attacks, officials said, a delay that comes as President Trump has embraced Russia in recent weeks. wapo.st/4yCb7T7
No, Mr. Trump. The American people don’t want you to immediately rename New Mexico to New America.
They want you to immediately end your illegal Iran War that is forcing Americans to pay $4.30 a gallon for gas, $6.30 a gallon for diesel & $6.04 a gallon for heating oil.
Enough.
Trump just endorsed Netanyahu.
No surprise. One authoritarian helping another stay in power.
Trump and Netanyahu. More war. More destruction. More genocide.
We must end the Republican rubber-stamp Congress.
We must stop all military aid to Israel.
With gas prices soaring, a war with Iran, and millions unable to afford healthcare, Trump has tackled the major crisis of our time: His administration plans to transform East Potomac Golf Links into a championship-level golf course.
Seriously!
Happy golfing, Mr. President.
Master Sgt. Nicole Amor was killed one day into Trump's war in Iran.
Her husband asked JD Vance a simple question: Who will be held accountable for the failures that led to her death?
Vance's answer: He hasn’t heard of ANY failures in the war.
Unacceptable. This war must END.
Vance is confronted by the emotional husband of a soldier killed in Iran War and acts like he had no idea anyone ever died:
Q: It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable?
Vance: If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.
This is what billionaire ownership of the media means:
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta shut down the No Kings account for hours during the height of their protests.
Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election.
Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk.
Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.
Memo: The American people want “substantial change.”
A new AP-NORC poll reports that most voters want major change in Washington ahead of this year’s midterms. The poll reports that a combined 80% of registered voter respondents said they want either “complete and total upheaval” or “substantial change” in the way the country is run — including 97% of Democrats, 90% of independents and 58% of Republicans.
If the Democratic Party thinks that they can just tinker around the edges once they take control of Congress, guess again.
The American people have had enough.
No more failed establishment status quo policies.
The American people want change, REAL change and an agenda that works for the working families of our country.
That means, among other things, passing:
- Medicare for All
- An annual 5% wealth tax on billionaires
- The elimination of a corrupt campaign finance system
- Raising the minimum wage to at least $20 an hour
- Expanding Social Security by scrapping the cap
- Free tuition at public colleges and medical and nursing schools
- Universal childcare
- Building 7 million affordable homes & apartments
- A moratorium on AI data centers
- An end to never-ending wars and U.S. support for the extremist Israeli government
The American people have had enough. They want a government that delivers for working families, not just the 1%. The Democrats must deliver.
