THE LABOR DEPARTMENT JUST DROPPED NEW WAGE DATA AND IT'S BRUTAL.

Corporate profits up 47% since 2020.

Worker wages up 12% in the same period.

Meanwhile groceries up 35%, rent up 40%, utilities up 28%.

Your paycheck grew 12%. Your bills grew 35%.

The math is simple: you're getting poorer every year even when you get a raise.

You can't budget your way out of this. The system is designed so your income can never catch up to your expenses.

That's not an accident. That's policy.

Dear Americans,

Europe is talking about the brutal death in Maine. We call it murder. We find it unacceptable. We see the truth.

Keep protesting, keep demanding justice!

Journalist Judd Legum: “Trump has no way to open the Strait of Hormuz and no way to get out of an unpopular war. Trump's failure to anticipate Iran’s response to an attack was one of the biggest military blunders in recent history. Americans will pay the price for years to come.”

In 1945 the USS Indianapolis secretly delivered the parts for the atomic bomb that would hit Hiroshima.

Days later, mission done, a Japanese submarine put two torpedoes into her. She sank in 12 minutes.

Nearly 900 men made it off the ship alive and into the open ocean. Then it got worse.

No one knew they were missing. Three separate Navy stations picked up the distress signals and every one of them ignored it. One officer thought it was a Japanese trap. Another had ordered not to be disturbed.

So the men floated. For almost five days. No food, no fresh water, burning by day and freezing at night. Some drank seawater and went insane. And the whole time, the sharks were circling and feeding. It is considered the worst shark attack in human history.

When rescue finally came by accident, only 316 of the nearly 1,200 crew were still alive.

The Navy needed someone to blame for the disaster. They chose Captain Charles McVay, one of the men who survived it. He became the only U.S. captain in the entire war to be court-martialed for losing his ship to the enemy.

At his trial the Navy did something almost unheard of. They brought in the Japanese commander who sank the ship to testify against him. Instead, the enemy captain told the court that zigzagging would have made no difference and that McVay did nothing wrong.

They convicted him anyway.

For years afterward McVay got hate mail from the families of the dead. Some sent letters every Christmas telling him he murdered their sons. In 1968 he walked onto his front lawn and shot himself, holding a toy sailor he had kept since he was a boy.

Case closed. For fifty years.

Then in 1996 an 11-year-old named Hunter Scott watched Jaws with his dad and got hooked on the 30 second speech about the Indianapolis. He made it his sixth grade history project.

He tracked down and interviewed nearly 150 survivors. He dug through more than 800 documents. And buried in there he found what the Navy had left out, including that they knew enemy subs were operating right on the ship's route and never warned McVay.

A kid's school project turned into a national story. It reached Congress. In 2000 lawmakers passed a resolution clearing McVay's name and President Clinton signed it. The Navy officially cleared his record in 2001.

The captain the Navy spent decades blaming was finally exonerated by a sixth grader.

Hunter Scott grew up and became a naval flight officer.

In 2023, ABC News obtained video from Georgia prosecutors' interview with ex-Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, in which Ellis tells them she was personally informed by a top WH adviser that Trump was "not going to leave" the WH, despite losing the 2020 election.

Last year some regrettable cost cutting decisions were made about foodborne pathogen testing, ending 28 years of screening for cyclosporiasis and quickly catching and quenching several outbreaks. Now we still have no idea what the source of this outbreak is. This is the price!!!

[Crescent @SpacerSentinel]

@ImmunoFever Never ever ever ever vote for a Republican.

It's a party of anti-science conspiracies that get people killed. DOGE alone has already killed a million people.

Argh. Cyclospora positive. The symptoms are brutal, and I've lost 6 pounds in four days.

DON'T EAT RAW VEGETABLES OR GREENS FROM GROCERY STORES OR RESTAURANTS!

THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.

What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Two career intelligence officers got fired for refusing to say Venezuela was directing a gang it wasn't directing, because the administration needed that claim to justify deportations. A three star general got fired for his agency's accurate assessment of Iran strike damage. CIA's own analysts are now telling their internal survey they're afraid this is the pattern.

[Chris Alvino @ChrisAlvino]

The worst part about this outbreak is that, bc every news agency is owned by corporate billionaires, not a SINGLE ONE has the courage to link this outbreak to Trump and his dismantling of our food safety protections. So the general public just assumes this is business as usual.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Interesting. McConnell’s “proof of life” photo was released shortly after this segment. 🤔

Andy Beshear says the Republican legislature changed the law to block him from appointing a Senator if a vacancy occurs.

He argues the Kentucky Constitution gives him that authority, calls the changes politically motivated, and says he’s prepared to fight the issue in court if a Senate seat becomes vacant, while wishing McConnell a full recovery.

[Elizabeth @alluringmedia]

January 6th is when Lindsey went on the floor and said he was done with Trump. Then Kevin McCarthy, then Mitch McConnell (all in this clip).

They could have walked away and followed through with the impeachment.

Don't ever forget that it's been the Republicans in Congress who have enabled this for the last 10 years.

A year ago, CDC made Cyclospora surveillance optional. It had been tracked for 28 years.

Today: ~3,000 cases across 31 states, no confirmed source, and CDC’s own count (843) is trailing what states are reporting by thousands.
