Boeing shareholders approved a $33M pay package for CEO Dave Calhoun, despite overseeing huge losses and safety problems.

It's the biggest package ever given to a Boeing CEO.

Calhoun is resigning by year's end. Guess what he gets then?

A $45 million golden parachute.

Unreal.

@rbreich they most definitely will. As long as American working class/ middle class continue to vote republicans into office, workers rights will be destroyed.
Don’t vote for guns, no one has ever tried to take them away, don’t vote for right to life issues, other people’s decisions don’t affect you. Vote for your, and your family’s best interests. its our only chance

Donald Trump has violated the gag order placed on him during his NY trial ten times so far. If he keeps violating it, what should Judge Juan Merchan do?

Casual reminder to Ignore the anti-union propaganda from corporate America.

If unions were actually bad for workers, corporations wouldn't need to spend millions of dollars on union-busting.

John Gartner is a psychologist who, as founder of Duty To Warn, has raised the alarm about Trump's declining mental fitness. This week, we had the honor of interviewing him for a disturbing conversation about why he’s more worried than ever that the media and the public are missing all the blaring red signs that Trump is slipping rapidly into dementia. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/john-gartner-trump-cognitive-decline

Extending Trump's tax cuts will cost $3.5 trillion over a decade.

This is why Trump wants to cut Social Security.

So he can take a lifetime of earned benefits away from working people and gift them to the rich.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Billionaires don’t care that Trump wants to free Jan 6 insurrectionists.

They don’t care that he says he'll be a dictator on “day one.”

They don’t care that he calls opponents “vermin” to “root out.”

All they care about is more tax cuts.

This is why they've returned to Trump.
