Researchers found that some of the world’s largest companies took advantage of their market control to hike prices way higher than costs.
The result?
Their profits were at least 30% higher in 2022 than before the pandemic.
News flash: They used inflation as cover to get rich.
a car crashed at the US/Canada border and the Fox News fuckfaces are openly rooting for it to be a terrorist attack. what the fuck is wrong with these people
Board of Trustees adopts resolution honoring Dr. Peter Hotez @TexasChildrens News.
So grateful to the Board of Texas Children’s Hospital for their support, especially in this time of extreme antivaccine activism/antiscience aggression.
Thank you! https://t.co/aGvK54AFkH
BOOM. Jamie Raskin calls on Congress to subpoena Jared Kushner over his $2 billion Saudi investment and says it "raises the significant possibility that there was a large quid pro quo.”
Raise your hand if you agree Jared should be investigated! ✋
1/n Terrible: as I detail in my new book, The Deadly Rise of Anti-science: A Scientist’s Warning with @JHUPress@JohnsHopkins this has become a signature of authoritarian regimes. Exerting power and control means attacking the intelligentsia, but especially the scientists
Marjorie Taylor-Greene has admitted that she has promised Donald Trump to drag out the "Impeachment inquiry" into President Biden as long as "long and excruciatingly" as possible.
Greene also confirmed with The New York Post, that she met with Trump on Sunday, in New Jersey, where the two dined "over Halibut and Diet Coke."
Donald Trump is facing decades in prison, and is still staging another coup with trash like MTG. Still.
Higher gas prices prices drove the latest uptick in inflation.
Who's responsible for higher gas prices? Putin and Saudi Arabia's MBS, who both have a stake in harming President Biden politically. https://t.co/bDS1aIsVML
MUST WATCH. An FBI Supervisory Special Agent in Counterintelligence talks about how he was persecuted by the FBI for CATCHING RUDY GIULIANI WITH FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE TRYING TO ATTACK THE BIDEN FAMILY DURING THE 2020 ELECTION.
In the months before the Citizens United ruling, Ginni Thomas worked with Leonard Leo to form a rightwing political nonprofit to exploit the decision.
Harlan Crow backed it to the tune of half a million dollars.
Is it any wonder why Americans don't trust SCOTUS?
Just so we're clear: Hunter Biden gets indicted for ordinary activities that usually never get charged, while Jared Kushner remains a free man even after funneling in $2 BILLION from Saudi Arabia after he left the White House. Talk about 2 tiers of justice.
When auto CEOs say they can't afford to pay their workers more, remember that the Big Three have made a combined $21 billion in profits in the first half of 2023 and $250 billion in profits over the decade.
They've also spent $5 billion on stock buybacks the past year.
Hello?
Fun fact: Every government shutdown in the last 30 years occurred when Republicans had control of the House of Representatives.
Last time it happened, it drove people to food pantries and forced an $8b hit to the economy. They treat people missing paychecks like it’s no big deal
You mean to tell me that, in a room full of 100 Senators, DEM and GOP, you can't find enough bipartisan consensus to change the f*cking rules so that one GOP jackass can stop holding our military hostage?
SERIOUSLY??
Get it together, United States Senate.
FIX THIS, ALL OF YOU.
Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich, not the poor.
The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year.
The United States literally has a yacht tax deduction.
Hello?
Every cable channel should be talking about the fact that Wisconsin Republicans just OUSTED the duly-appointed top election administration official in the state without any justification for doing so. This is how our democracy dies & everyone should be alarmed by this fascism.
Add a mistress and Uber and you’ve got Ken Paxton.
Add a yacht and tuition and you’ve got Clarence Thomas.
Add a 17-year-old, cocaine and a trip to the Bahamas and you’ve got Matt Gaetz.
The GOP is always for sale.
