Funny quote from @DomMazzetti the "BroScience" guy Science is all about asking questions. Lying is all about answering questions. Remember it's only a lie if they know the truth. If they knew the truth, they wouldn't be asking questions.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers. If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual - it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems. The point is less about individual morality. It’s more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale. We’re talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability. Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated - these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.

AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”

NBC News reports that Spirit Airlines was forced to shut down after Trump’s failed war in Iran caused a “massive and sustained increase in fuel prices." When you pay more to travel this summer, please thank our mentally gifted president.

Not everything is about Trump. I just believe every citizen's vote ought to count the same. And that the person who gets the most votes ought to win. Also, wouldn't it be nice for Utah to no longer be ignored in presidential politics?
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee

(1) Donald Trump won both the electoral college AND the popular vote—so if we did as Pete Buttigieg suggests, Trump would still be president. (2) If you don’t like the electoral college, you don’t like the Constitution.

In honor of May the 4th: the four best Star Wars movies in order: Empire Strikes Back, Revenge of the Sith, the original Star Wars, & Return of the Jedi. If you disagree, you’re wrong. This is the correct ranking.

Spirit Airlines shutting down this weekend is a devastating blow to thousands of workers and families in Michigan.
 I stand with the flight attendants of Spirit AFA-CWA Local 76 and every employee paying the price for the chaotic, reckless policies coming out of the White House — they deserve support, dignity, and a voice in what comes next.

Spirit Airlines announced it is ceasing operations effective immediately, canceling all flights and leaving passengers nationwide scrambling for alternatives. fox2detroit.com/news/spirit-ai…

Awful. Trump dragged us into war with Iran, sending fuel prices through the roof, and now one of the few affordable options to fly - one started right here in Detroit - is gone. And not a single Republican stopped him when they had the chance.
Patrick De Haan@GasBuddyGuy

STRAIT STINGS SPIRIT... Spirit Airlines begins ‘wind-down’, cancels all flights over fuel crisis... Spirit’s restructuring plan assumed jet fuel costs of about $2.24 a gallon in 2026 and $2.14 in 2027, but prices had climbed to about $4.51 a gallon by the end of April.

60–80% of people will deal with lower back pain at some point in their lives. A Reverse Hyper: – decompresses the spine – builds the posterior chain – drives blood to the low back The foldable Scout Hyper makes the most sense for home gyms, but here are some other variations.

@Jason @ZohranKMamdani “We cannot close this deficit with savings alone.“ This makes no sense to me. If you stop spending, the deficit goes away.

They’ve blown past 50% in taxes, and they plan to go straight to 60% — and eventually to 70%. @ZohranKMamdani is a communist, and he will eventually use these emergency powers to seize your assets … all these socialist lunatics know how to do is seize assets and redistribute them. FIGHT THE POWER

Mamdani declares a “budget crisis” after four months in office as New York City’s Mayor: “We cannot close this deficit with savings alone. We need new revenue, and we need a structural reset in our relationship with the state.”

Trump has made it clear he’s coming after your right to vote, and it’s no mistake he’s targeted Detroit. For years in Michigan we’ve stood up to Trump and vastly expanded voting rights in our state. We’ve fought and won before. And together, in the US Senate, we’ll do it again.

If I was a conspiracy theorist I would be certain that Trump staged all of this just to get people on board for him to build his illegal White House Ballroom, and save his floundering, all-time-low approval ratings.
