Reading about the big 3 car companies lobbying to destroy street cars back in the day, and so much intentional defunding or withholding funds from transit since, is radicalizing.
Refusing to fund public transportation is one of the single most devious ways this country makes life more expensive and forces us to funnel our money to corporations.
The average monthly payment for a new car has hit a record $750.
This is a disgrace. A combat-tested general is being pushed out for doing his job because he didn’t pass some Trump loyalty test. Hegseth is running the Pentagon like it’s Fox News. It’s reckless, and it’s putting our country at risk. nytimes.com/2025/07/26/us/…
Some form of schadenfreude to see dealmakers who called for Lina Khan to be fired realize that a rule of law approach to antitrust was better for business than corrupt political interference.
Exactly zero surprises here -- inviting grifting and culture war grievance peddling in the M&A review process is bad for deals.
But Trump and Karoline Leavitt said the spending bill would lower the deficit by $1.6 trillion.
U.S. TREASURY BOOSTS JULY-SEPT. BORROWING ESTIMATE TO $1.01T
Yes because I worry about people that are not as well off as me.
@SenRubenGallego & wife’s income is ~$350K and he is complaining about childcare costs.
It’s amazing how many Americans still don’t understand they are paying the tariffs. Not anyone else. Them. The propaganda is so insane lol.
“Eventually the tariffs will be passed on, dollar for dollar, to the consumer, and that will mean less consumption, less growth, less jobs and less profit,” says @EvercoreISI 's Roger Altman. cnbc.com/video/2025/07/…
The Trump regime just handed Christian nationalists a loaded weapon: your federal workplace. Supervisors can now preach, push prayer, and promote religion on the job—as long as it’s not called “harassment.” And who decides that? They do. This is state-backed coercion. A purity…
We are supposed to host the World Cup and Olympics and these idiots already screwed up the Little League World Series with their buffoonery.
Venezuelan Little League team denied travel visas to US, won’t compete in World Series trib.al/P5SIyeA
Auto debt: $1.6T Credit card debt: $1.18T Student debt: $1.77T Housing debt: $12.8T Medical debt: $220T 60% of US families can’t afford basic necessities, while the 19 richest added $1 trillion to their net worth last year. These are policy choices, and this is not sustainable.
The Fed reports auto loan balances have crossed $1.6 trillion, with average monthly payments hitting a record $750.
Trump is apparently funneling nearly $1B in SECRET from a missile program to turn a “free” Qatari jet into a gold-trimmed Air Force One, which eventually will be turned over to Trump. It's total corruption. Self-serving, paid for by taxpayers. Drain the swamp?…
The DOJ just dropped felony charges against LA protesters because DHS agents were caught fabricating entire incidents‼️They claimed they were attacked – videos showed they were the aggressor’s. This isn’t “protect and serve” it’s called lie and persecute” 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
The grift
Palantir is now worth more than: -Home Depot -Proctor & Gamble -Bank of America -Coca-Cola $375B market cap. $3.1B in annual revenue. Palantir's secret? A 45% spike in U.S. government surveillance contracts in just a quarter. Surveillance is America’s new frontier.
Dude, previously you said that the recent EU deal means THEY pay the tariffs!!! lol! This is like an alchemist telling a chemist they know nothing of science! 😂😂😂😂. Consumers pay the tariffs genius! Man- you successfully combined stupidity and arrogance
Trump isn't getting rid of cartels, he's giving them visas to live in the USA. Mexico’s security chief confirmed that 17 family members of cartel leaders entered the US in a deal between the "former" head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump regime. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/c…
Trump is complaining about the cost of renovating Fed building but he is spending $1bn to renovate a new Air Force One that will only fly for about a year. nytimes.com/2025/07/27/us/… via @NYTimes
Russell Vought claimed on CNN this weekend that NIH funding is corrupt. A reminder, his family has directly benefited from the NIH. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…
Trump literally started the Israel and Iran war by greenlighting the attack on Iran. Please be real. And both India and Pakistan deny that he assisted in their agreement tribuneindia.com/news/india/at-…
