Spotify laid off 17% of its workforce in 2023, while reportedly paying artists just $0.003 per stream. In 2024, the company hit record profits while its CEO's net worth jumped to $7 billion. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Trump just put this treasonous coconspirator to the insurrection in charge of the Small Business Administration.

I always laugh when a certain type of man asks me “why do feminists hate men so much?” My response is this … It’s never been about us hating men. 🧵

it’s time

Health care should be a right — not just a privilege for those who can afford it. That’s why President Biden and I have taken action to lower health care costs for millions of Americans.

‘I was in denial about it’ “The risk mitigation in my life is very high. When your health is taken away from you, you realize how important it is. There’s not much that feels worth the risk of another Covid infection” So powerful ⁦@MattMcGorry⁩ theguardian.com/wellness/ng-in…

Before the election: Extreme MAGA Republicans lied to America about their connection to Project 2025. After the election: The people behind Project 2025 are given high level positions in the Trump administration. How dare you lecture the American people about anything.

Job openings rose to 7.7M in October, higher than expected.

Should Democrats move to the right? Absolutely not. That's morally wrong and bad politics. The real lesson of 2024 is that Democrats must become an anti-establishment party ready to shake up the system on behalf of working people.

Why is Donald Trump so obsessed with killing Obamacare? The answer is simple: control and money. He’s never cared about the sick, children, or families needing access to affordable healthcare. Obamacare gave millions of people coverage and held insurance companies accountable, and that kind of progress threatens the profit-driven machine he’s aligned with. Ending it isn’t about policy—it’s about catering to donors and dismantling any legacy that doesn’t glorify him. Meanwhile, people are left wondering if they’ll afford treatment for their kids or survive a medical emergency. It’s greed over humanity, plain and simple.

Trump’s OMB director pick co-authored Project 2025, which recommends eliminating Head Start. The DOGE leaders have proposed the same thing. That spells trouble for the ~40M children served by the program.

Amazon and Walmart are the largest US companies by both revenue and number of employees. But 87% of jobs for Amazon and 91% for Walmart pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is worth $229B and the Walton family is worth roughly $270B. See the problem here?

Over 74 million Americans voted for Democrats in this election. They don’t expect us to roll over & play dead. And progressive policies—like paid sick leave, minimum wage increases, and abortion rights—won ballot measures around the country. I’m staying in the fight.

Nothing better than some delicious "Find Out stage of FAFO" in the morning 🤣

Jane Fonda sets Bill straight. Maher: "[People] just think the far left has gone so nutty on so many issues." Fonda: "That's what they're being told, by people like you."

Trump’s tax breaks for the rich were so big Republicans had to use budget gimmicks and accounting tricks in order to hide the true cost. Next year, Democrats in Congress should flat out reject Trump's Tax Scam 2.0, and the junk math Republicans use to try to sell this thing.

The Medicare Advantage program is a stealth attempt to privatize Medicare and enrich the private insurance industry at the expense of seniors. Multimillionaire CMS nominee Mehmet Oz, who owns stock in private insurers, is one of the biggest proponents of this scheme.

The UK 🇬🇧 has secured more than five million doses of human H5 bird flu vaccine to prepare for a potential pandemic, according to UKHSA.

Laura Ingraham on stage at the 2016 RNC, giving Trump the Nazi salute & him reciprocating. The Pulitzer Prize winning photographer @kennerly shot it & had never shared it till now. A shot of things to come. They've had 8 yrs to prepare & fully entrenched in the salute now.
