Reminder that Trump is floating cuts to Social Security and Medicare — supposedly to address the debt — yet supports extending his tax cuts for the rich, adding $4.6 trillion to the deficit.

This isn't about the debt.

It’s about doing the bidding of his wealthy donors.

Elon Musk’s X tried and failed to make its own copyright system, judge says

Judge rules copyright law governs public data scraping, not X’s terms.

Top media company CEO pay in 2023:

Disney: $31.6M
Warner Bros: $49.7M
Netflix: $49.8M & $40.1M
Comcast: $35.5M
Paramount: $31.3M

Remember when execs claimed they couldn't afford to pay writers and actors more during the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike?

That was pure fiction.

Big Three carriers pay $10M to settle claims of false “unlimited” advertising

States obtain settlement, but it's not clear whether consumers will get refunds.

@arstechnica Well OF COURSE it won't go to consumers! Why should the people who the big three screwed get any compensation?!? 🙄

Russia is actively working through various means to undermine our elections, sow division, and chip away at our democratic processes. And there is growing evidence that they are being aided in that by members of the Republican Party. Just how compromised are these pro-Putin Republicans? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/gop-russia-kompromat-putin-congress

@georgetakei "How compromised" doesn't matter. Compromised is compromised, and the fact that any that are Uncompromised won't police the dirty makes the entire party corrupted.

Trump continues to vow to his billionaire supporters that he'd extend their tax cuts if reelected.

These cuts have already helped billionaires' grow their fortunes by $2 trillion.

It's crystal clear who Trump works for — and it sure as hell isn't the working class.

Corporate profits hit record-highs, yet price hikes won’t stop.

Why?

Well, in 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago.

Little-to-no competition allows a price gouging free-for-all.

Corporate monopolies get rich, and we pay the tab.

Ron DeSantis signed a law that prevents municipalities in Florida from requiring that employers provide shade and water breaks for outdoor workers.

A study found that heat-related deaths in FL shot up by 88% between 2019 and 2022.

Folks, this is the GOP's vision for America.
