This sounds important, especially for those who have a pension from public service.
The SEC quietly published a proposal to rescind a measure that prevents private equity firms from buying access to billions in pension funds that belong to public employees like teachers and police.
The SEC wants to scrap a key anti-corruption rule targeting private equity
Pay-to-play schemes were a way for firms to tap into public pension funds. They may soon be back.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

This. Exactly.
The only reason why Putin would send drones into Poland would be that he doesn't believe Donald Trump would ultimately honor America's commitment to NATO and he wants to test that proposition.

Michael Cohen is asked to authenticate Trump’s signature. Cohen produces multiple examples of letters sent to him that appear to match the signature from the birthday book.

In today's distraction news, Trumpty Dumpty's hand picked BLS chief revise jobs numbers from April '24 through March '25 to show 911,000 fewer jobs were created.
I caution everyone to not believe any data from this admin without verification.

It’s hard to keep track that we just illegally murdered 11 people in a boat… b/c a sociopathic piece of beef jerky is trying to kill all of us while the entirety of the #GOP protects the President of the United States who has raped children.

Right up until the minute Trump’s business ventures like Trump Shuttle, Trump Atlantic City casinos, Trump Steaks, Trump University, etc, etc, went bankrupt, Trump was claiming they were a huge success with big things right around the corner. Just like now with the economy.

DOJ is openly stating that "trannies shouldn't have guns."

The Trump administration is moving to strip trans people of their 2nd amendment rights. Nothing good ever comes out of an authoritarian regime stripping a minority group of owning guns.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
