Do you trust the Trump regime to cancel health coverage for hundreds of thousands of people because they claim they couldn’t find them? We sure don’t.

Prayers up for these folks who may find out they lost coverage after it’s too late.

The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization:

1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.

2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers.

3) Use profits to make political donations.

4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.

5) Repeat.

Fire stations are paying more and waiting longer for new trucks.

Why? A few big corporations bought up the fire truck industry and jacked up costs.

That's not right. Corporate greed can't come before public safety.

ProPublica dropped the first story in a new series on corruption in Congress, and it starts with Sen. Susan Collins. A defense contractor illegally funneled $150,000 to a pro-Collins PAC. The company’s CEO later pleaded guilty to unlawful campaign contributions.

The Ohio Democratic Party is repeatedly deleting criticism of Marcy Kaptur, who has released an ad calling transgender people an “ideology” that should be banned in schools.

Still think Dems can’t become Labour?
FYI: After the Pride Caucus reshared the Lucas County Dems post the reshare was deleted ... but not by the Lucas Dems or Pride Caucus. I'll let the reader come to their own conclusions about who deleted it.

The Paramount deal would put CBS and CNN under one roof—the kind of concentrated media power Lewis F. Powell Jr.'s 1971 memo urged corporate America to build around institutions shaping public opinion. CBS executives later joined the Chamber effort to act on it.

Perpetually “concerned” Susan Collins should be VERY concerned by the latest reporting from ProPublica, revealing her involvement in an alleged bribery/pay to play scheme of awarding defense contracts to a specific firm right after that company made campaign “donations."

The one-two punch of Gavin Newsome allowing Trump ally Larry Ellison to have control of all of Paramount and Warner Brothers/HBO, and him vetoing a bill that would protect gender care doctors from being extradited to other states for criminal charges

How again is this different than a Republican?

Newsome has no real principle. Everything is a calculated gamble for him. He'll sell you out if he thinks it helps his priorities (himself). Do not trust. Plenty of examples. Trans people. Paramount / WBD merger... the media loves this shit. 🖕 @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
"Gov Gavin Newsom over the weekend vetoed legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state."

He was "worried about constraints on the governor's power to approve extraditions".

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%.

CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
