@OzzyOsbourne A legend. Ozzy brought much joy to the world. His body of work speaks for itself.

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.   Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis

@ChrisMartzWX I quit watching @TODAYshow several years ago when I started noticing that, after some ominous music, the weather report would warn that 35M people were basically going to get rained on. The sensationalism was over the top. Trust (and interest) died that day.

Anytime there is an extreme weather event, why does it have to be blamed on “climate change” or “weather modification”? Why can’t it be “just weather”? Have people become so brainwashed and intellectually lazy that they cannot grasp the fact that the weather always has done crazy things? Or are we just pretending that thunderstorms, floods and heatwaves never happened before 1980? As a meteorologist who studies weather patterns, this blame game is beyond silly at this point.

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall. Hello?

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

@TheExtremeMusi1 Bruce Springsteen!

Which band is the most overrated of all time???

@heraldleader No! Should keep the electoral college and also revert back to Federal Senate appointments being sent from states, not elected.

@RBReich Yes, government spending is out of control

In 1989, the super-rich held $472 billion in unrealized capital gains. In 2022, that figure was $8.5 trillion. The super-rich use their massive wealth as collateral for bank loans at low interest rates that are far lower than tax rates they'd pay if they sold assets. See the problem?

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks. Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics. We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform. No more excuses.

Why are billionaires like Peter Thiel, Rupert Murdoch, Stephen Schwartzman, and the owner of this website rallying behind Trump? Yes, the tax cuts. But there's more. The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.” But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people. Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. What did corporations do with the money saved? They didn’t invest it or raise wages. They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect. Nothing trickled down to workers.

@ImMeme0 Risk of trading for 12 months rent is entirely different from the risk of (up to) 360 months of mortgage payments.

A mother of three says her family can't secure a $1,600 home loan, yet they must manage a $2,100 rent. Americans are hurting financially.

This is why billionaires gave luxury gifts to Supreme Court justices. Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics. One thing is for certain: we can't allow the extremists and Big Money interests who have hijacked the court to go unchecked.
