NEW: In 2025, CEOs of low-wage companies made millions underpaying their workers. When those workers faced attacks by ICE, CEOs were silent — or worse, complicit.

I can think of no clearer sign that Trump and his oligarchs have achieved control of the American media than Trump's planned appearance at the WH Correspondents Dinner.

So let me get this straight: We can’t find the budget to pay our actual TSA agents, but we’ve got plenty of cash to bus in ICE agents with zero experience to do their jobs?
Efficiency at its finest. What a slap in the face to the people who actually know what they’re doing.
