There is no excuse for cruelty; it's why I hate the GOP and Russia so much.

I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if the president can incite an insurrection to overturn an election and maintain power. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!

The CEO of Live Nation — the parent company of TicketMaster — received $23.4 million in compensation last year.

Meanwhile, the median Live Nation employee was paid $28,207.

That’s a CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 833-to-1.

Monopoly power is terrible for everyone but rich CEOs.

Amazon squeezed sellers and jacked up prices.

Apple used its power to kill off challengers.

Ticketmaster/Live Nation leveraged its dominance to jack up ticket costs and tack on massive fees.

Each company is facing an antitrust lawsuit from the Biden admin.

This is a big deal.

Memo to the media:

If you're trying not to "take sides" in a struggle between democracy and fascism, you've taken the side of fascism.

Every day the Supreme Court fails to make a decision in Trump’s immunity case is effectively a decision in his favor.

They're acting like an arm of Trump's campaign by letting him run out the clock on his prosecution.

The Supreme Court's "code of ethics" has no enforcement mechanism and no way for the public to lodge complaints of misconduct.

SCOTUS Justices are being allowed to police themselves, which they've already proven they can't do.

Is it any wonder why Americans don't trust them?
