@BigBadToyStore it would be great if you could explicitly list the tariff surcharges on items or bills. People need exactly see just what these tariffs are costing them.
Today's a great day for Putin. He finally has an asset at the highest level of US intelligence, and he’s laughing. Tulsi Gabbard, known in Russia as "Putin's Girlfriend", is now in charge of our intelligence apparatus. America is being weakened by Trump and his administration.
Today we are disconnecting from #BRELL electricity system – this is the most important step in the history of independent Lithuanian energy. Synchronising with the European electricity system will ensure energy security, stability and reliability for 🇱🇹, 🇱🇻& 🇪🇪. What a big day!
Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless.
In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a $3.7 billion dollar industry.
It all began with the Powell Memo.
We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.
January 13 marks Lithuania's Freedom Defender's Day. In 1991, unarmed citizens faced Soviet tanks, fighting for freedom with courage and unity. Their bravery reminds us that liberty is precious. Today, we honor their sacrifice and celebrate independence.

Remind me again why I pay for @HasbroPulse premium. They often send out product drop emails and push notifications AFTER the product in question is already sold out. Not surprising that pulse Asia folded....
Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch.
The richest man in the world spent at least $277 million getting Trump and other Republicans elected.
His net worth is now up $90 billion since the election, due in large part to having Trump's ear and an ability to steer more govt contracts to his companies.
See the problem?
My country was occupied for 50 years by the Soviet Union. Maybe the guns fell silent, but it wasn't peace. Ukraine, all of it, deserves nothing less than real and lasting peace.
New polling found that 82% of voters think one of the biggest problems facing America today is the concentration of power in the hands of just a few corporations and wealthy individuals — and that the govt is doing little to stop them.
They're right. Here's how it got so bad.
Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk: Phone calls won’t stop Putin
“The attack last night, one of the largest in this war, has proven that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support for Ukraine from the entire West,” he said.
"The coming weeks will be decisive not only for the war itself but for our future.”
In 2025, we will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis – #Lithuania’s 🇱🇹 visionary artist and composer.
