Peter Thiel is in the Epstein files saying “democracy is a failed experiment” and that women and poor people should have never had the right to vote and they are strategically positing how to stop both. They also used Epstein to pressure governments to get their way. One of Trump’s biggest donors.

FUN FACT: Donald trump's name is listed in the Epstein files over 5,300 times. That's more than: - Darth Vader is in the Star Wars trilogy (70) - Saruman is in the Lord of the Rings trilogy (250) - Voldemort is in all 8 movies and 7 books (1,325) In fact, it's more than all combined. He's NOT innocent.

Let’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.

Since this pandemic started, workers around the world lost $3.7 trillion, while billionaires gained a record $3.9 trillion. This is the fastest and largest wealth transfer in history, yet nobody wants to talk about it.

He pledged that America will never be socialist, Marxist, or Communist . . . and then arranged for the federal government to take an ownership stake in U.S. Steel, MP Materials USA Rare Earth, Intel, Trilogy Metals, Lithium Americas, Vulcan Elements, ReElement Technologies, Westinghouse, xLight, and Nvidia. nationalreview.com/the-morning-jo…

Bezos found enough pocket change to stuff $28 million into Melania’s purse, but not enough to bring his war correspondents home before eliminating their jobs.

Jeff Bezos wealth in 2024: $194 billion Jeff Bezos wealth in 2025: $215 billion Jeff Bezos wealth today: $249.4 billion Net increase in Bezos wealth since 2024: $55.4 billion Cost of Bezos’s 417-foot superyacht: $500 million Amazon investment in "Melania": $75 million Original Bezos purchase price of the Washington Post in 2013: $250 million Bezos net worth in 2013: $25.2 billion Net increase in Bezos wealth since buying the Post: $224.2 billion Last reported annual losses of Post: $100 million Number of years Bezos could absorb those losses with what he makes in a single week: 5 @JeffBezos

Jeff Bezos fired a third of Washington Post's staff & will replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. He became $40 billion richer since Trump was elected. His tax rate is 1.1%. Amazon got a $15.7 billion tax break from Trump last year. How much butter does Bezos need, Matt?

If you don’t see anything sketchy about a Republican President who is still trying to win an election he lost six years ago, blatantly targeting ONLY blue states for “election fraud” with zero evidence and debunked claims, you have an intellect rivaling that of a brick.

It's true:

When Jeff Bezos bought WaPo, he immediately took control of the opinions section. Now, he's laying off hundreds of journalists, including those covering Amazon. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of billionaires with vested political agendas taking over our media.

Reminder: Epstein was convicted in 2008 of procuring a child for prostitution. He was a registered Level 3 sex offender, the highest risk, by 2010. Anyone emailing him, partying with him, flying with him after that knew exactly who he was. That’s not ignorance. That’s complicity.

May the ghost of Katharine Graham haunt Jeff Bezos for the rest of his life. She had the backbone & balls @JeffBezos will never have.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

The last nuclear arms treaty between the US and Russia expires tomorrow. For the first time since 1969, there will be no treaty constraining the nuclear arms race. It's worth remembering that when Trump scrapped the Iran nuclear deal in his first term, he said he'd get a "better deal." It never happened.

Long before freedom was enshrined in law, Robert Smalls seized it himself. Born enslaved in South Carolina, he became a skilled ship pilot through talent and study. In 1862, during the Civil War, disguised as the captain, he sailed the Confederate gunship CSS Planter out of Charleston Harbor, passed fortified checkpoints, and delivered the ship, its weapons, and vital intelligence to the Union Navy. In one night, he freed his wife, children, and 14 others. He later served as a Union naval captain, shaped Reconstruction as a South Carolina legislator and U.S. Congressman, and turned his former enslaver’s house into a school for Black children. This is not merely a story of escape. It is a story of mastery, courage, and leadership before freedom was assured. History remembers generals and presidents. It should also remember the man who outsailed an empire.

The gas mask and the modern traffic light were both invented by the same person: Garrett Morgan. Born in 1877 to parents who had been enslaved, Garrett Morgan grew up with limited formal education but an extraordinary mechanical mind. He became an inventor at a time when Black Americans were largely shut out of patents, funding, and recognition. In 1914, Morgan invented a breathing device designed to protect people from smoke and toxic fumes. His invention gained national attention in 1916 after an explosion trapped workers in a water tunnel beneath Lake Erie in Cleveland. Morgan and his brother used the device to rescue several men who would have otherwise suffocated. This invention later became the foundation for modern gas masks and firefighter breathing equipment. A few years later, after witnessing a serious traffic accident, Morgan turned his attention to road safety. Cars, bicycles, and pedestrians were sharing streets with almost no regulation. In 1923, he patented an improved traffic signal that introduced a warning phase between “stop” and “go.” That idea evolved into the three-signal traffic light system used around the world today. Despite the importance of his inventions, Morgan often faced discrimination and was sometimes forced to sell his patents through white intermediaries to be taken seriously. Even so, his work was adopted internationally and continues to save lives every day. #BlackHistoryMonth
