being a Haley defender is such a crazy low.

Just endorsing the absolute bottom of the barrel, no charisma candidate that says nothing and stands for less

She takes money from any corporate PAC, she endorsed Bloomberg, her role is to preserve corporatism

There’s no there there

NEW: Amazon has a scheme to offer the lowest prices – by raising prices everywhere else.

If a vendor offers a lower price elsewhere, Amazon allegedly forces them to raise it, making you pay more than you should.

We uncovered Amazon setting prices at Walmart and Target.

Not really enjoying the era where random billionaires get to decide what counts as “terrorism”

Reminder that shit like this is happening because Trump’s budget cuts to agencies like the FDA. Our food is less regulated now because of his choices as a leader.

NEW: There's a set of MAGA lobbyists in DC who can get you anything you want from the White House, legal or not.

Ticketmaster, Paramount, crypto companies — they're all exploiting this pay-to-play system.

We talked to a DOJ whistle-blower who saw it up close.

People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is.

It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact…

From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.

Haley Stevens voted to:

Fun Fact: Every year Haley Stevens makes a personal video for AIPAC and its Republican billionaire donors to thank them for their work.

While you’re in the dark tonight, don’t forget that DTE just raised your rates for shitty service. And they’re trying to do it again.

Why do they get away with it?

Because they’ve cut checks to 93% of the state legislature…and 100% of the other candidates for US Senate.

Reminder that Russia is still banned by FIFA, but Israel can continue its genocide and kill Palestinian players without consequence.

ICE has revised its rules to say that detainees who work in custody aren't even required to get $1 per day, after a request from private prison giant Geo Group.

Geo Group also asked ICE to remove lines saying contractors needed to follow state and local laws around the treatment of detainees, asked ICE amend language to support its legal position in these cases, and asked that the standards specify that detainees are not employees of the facilities where they work.

In addition to removing the dollar per day minimum, ICE's new national standards complied with several of Geo Group's other requests, for instance the document now says detainees are not employees “and are not entitled to wages or benefits under applicable wage laws or labor regulations.”

Slavery was so long ago and we’re supposed to be over it until you want to have an image of the resistance of enslaved people, then it’s too political. They will never forgive Haiti for winning their freedom. They made Haiti pay France reparations for 150 years and still salty.

What a photo.

Saline Township did everything in their power to stop this data center. Then the wealthy developer threatened to bankrupt the township in litigation, ultimately forcing this upon the community.

Now their conquest will be rewarded with tax breaks.

In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit.
