Home Depot spent $37.2B on stock buybacks between 2019 to 2023, enough to give each of its 463,100 employees annual bonuses of $16,071.

Last year, Home Depot's CEO pocketed $14.4 million — 410x the company's median employee pay of just $35,131.

Textbook corporate greed.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow and his family's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. See how this works?

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Even more corruption revelations on Clarence Thomas have emerged today about more luxury private jet trips he failed to report.

He won't resign, but he is steadily destroying the credibility of the Supreme Court.

IMPEACH CLARENCE THOMAS.

BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sends shockwaves through MAGA world by formally introducing legislation to strip away Donald Trump's broad "presidential immunity."

And it gets even better...

The aptly named "No Kings Act" was introduced by Schumer and 34 Senate Democrats to undo the damage inflicted by the corrupt Republican-controlled Supreme Court's decision to grant presidents immunity for "official acts."

The bill would clarify and codify the law so that presidents and vice presidents are not immune to prosecution for violating federal criminal law.

Better still, it would bar the Supreme Court's ability to hear challenges to the constitutionality of the new law, funneling such challenges to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals instead.

"The Founders were explicit – no man in America shall be a king. Yet, in their disastrous decision, the Supreme Court threw out centuries of precedent and anointed Trump and subsequent presidents as kings above the law," said Schumer.

"Given the dangerous and consequential implications of the Court’s ruling, legislation would be the fastest and most efficient method to correcting the grave precedent the Trump ruling presented," he added.

While the legislation will likely not achieve the 60 vote threshold necessary to pass, introducing it sends a powerful message to the American people. Democrats stand for democracy, Republicans stand for monarchy.

If we want this bill made law, we have to vote blue and hand Democrats a stronger majority in the Senate and make sure that they seize control of the House this November.

The future is in our hands. Vote blue, save America!

Airlines have merged from 12 carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

4 companies control 85% of beef processing, 70% of the pork market, and 54% of poultry.

Albertsons, Kroger, and Walmart control 70% of the grocery sales in 167 cities.

Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.

So, why is the NRA (National Rifle Association) engaging in politics when IRS code 501c explicitly prohibits tax-exempt organizations from doing so?

It’s time for the NRA, the Heritage Foundation AND politically active churches to start paying some taxes.

Who here agrees?

BREAKING: Joe Biden is no longer running for re-election.

Now, everyone who pushed for this can apply equal pressure onto Trump — a 78-year-old convicted felon who rambles, slurs words, confuses names, and goes on strange tangents — to drop out too.

For the good of America.

🚨BREAKING: For the first time in American history, the Republican party has officially nominated a convicted felon as its presidential candidate at the Republican National Convention.

What a horrible choice by Republicans, and a dark day for American history.

50 billionaire families have already poured $600M+ into this year's elections — mostly in support of Trump.

That's only 0.6% of their total wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in dark money.

Why are multimillionaires and billionaires like Peter Thiel, Rupert Murdoch, Travis Kalanick, Steven Mnuchin, and others are rallying behind Trump?

Yes, the tax cuts. But there's more.

The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.
