I feel compelled to post this banger of a clip showing Barbara Walters humiliate trump to his face, as a reminder to reporters: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT HIM CALLING YOU "DUMMY."

This is outstanding. 👏👏👏

[HAMSKY ♥️ @HamskyHbb]

I can't believe this masterpiece is 27years ago how educative! Where you there? 🤔

Please don’t send this to @realdonaldtrump or his family members. It would be wrong to remind everyone he was a 5-time draft dodger and a coward.

Howard Lutnick set the tariffs four times too high.

While he swore they were permanent, his son's firm was buying the refunds at 20 cents on the dollar.

Supreme Court reversed. $180 billion owed.

Make Lutnick infamous - share this music video.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.

Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.

Here's what happened:

Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."

And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.

Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.

The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."

Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.

Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.

Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.

Same playbook with Hanes:

Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."

Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.

But it gets even worse...

Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.

Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.

They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.

The mechanism is simple but terrifying:

If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.

Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."

Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.

Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.

So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.

You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.

"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."

3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.

This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.

And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.

"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

This should be making international headlines. Every alarm bell known to mankind should be ringing. This is dangerous and genuinely catastrophic

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

A 27-year-old housewife in Niagara Falls noticed her 5-year-old was getting sick.

Asthma. Pneumonia. A urinary disorder. Seizures. Her daughter, three years younger, had a rare blood disease.

Lois Gibbs read a local newspaper article in 1978 and learned her son's elementary school had been built on a chemical dump. 21,000 tons of industrial waste, buried decades earlier by a chemical company, now leaching into the soil under the playground.

She asked the school board to transfer her son. They refused. Moving one child, they said, would mean having to move 400. They couldn't close the school for "one sickly child."

So she started knocking on doors.

Neighbors showed her black ooze seeping through basement walls. Miscarriages. Stillbirths. Birth defects. Cancers clustered along specific streets. Every family had a story.

So Gibbs organized the Love Canal Homeowners Association. She had a high school diploma and no activism experience.

Her own mother told her she was forgetting she was "just a housewife with a high school education."

She spent the next two years fighting local, state, and federal officials. At one point she held two EPA representatives hostage in a house until the federal government agreed to relocate families. 833 families were eventually evacuated.

The public outcry produced the Superfund Act of 1980, the law that funds the cleanup of toxic sites across the United States. Love Canal was the first one.

Lois Gibbs is 74. She's still at it.

Thomas Massie just went nuclear on Trump’s DOJ for bringing zero “charges, arrests, or investigations” over the Epstein files.

“Who should be investigated?”

“I’ll name them right here.”

“Leon Black... Jes Staley, accused of terrible things... Leslie Wexner.”

“Why did the FBI list him as a co-conspirator in their own documents in a child sex trafficking case, and then tell him that they had no questions for him?”

“Over 3 million documents describing horrible things, unspeakable things, much of it redacted.”

“Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide.”

“But I haven’t seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States.”

“Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who has since been stripped of his royal titles due to his affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested.”

“Peter Mandelson, who previously served as UK’s ambassador to the United States, resigned in disgrace from UK’s House of Lords and the Labour Party, and he’s been arrested.”

“Former Prime Minister of Norway, Thorbjørn Jagland, has been charged.”

“But we don’t see any charges, arrests, or investigations in the United States.”

“What do we see?”

“We see our FBI director celebrating in the locker room at the Olympics overseas.”

“We need justice.”

This is one of the most disappointing rabbit holes we have ever seen with our food…

Rao’s was one of the most beloved clean ingredient staples in every health conscious consumers kitchen.

Then they were bought out by Campbell’s in 2024…

In 2025 Campbell’s also bought 49% of La Regina, who produces Rao’s tomato‑based sauces.

The ingredients stayed the same on the back.

But customers are now claiming Rao’s is now more watery, tangier, more acidic, less tomato‑forward, and sometimes “cheap store brand” quality.

Loyal customers say the sauce tastes worse, look more orange, have more chunks, or taste more heavily spiced and bitter.

Then people flipped over the jar…

”Olive Oil” not “Extra Virgin.”

This means they’re likely using a more processed, lower‑grade olive oil (or a blend) rather than a cold‑pressed EVOO.

It’s also not organic, meaning the inputs are undoubtedly conventionally farmed.

Campbell’s says the ingredient list hasn’t changed…

Consumers point out the ratios could be different.

The sourcing quality could be worse.

Whatever it is, many believe something is up.

We’ve seen a long-time pattern of healthy brands achieving the velocity to be acquired from a Big Food company and then just not being the same as it used to be.

Shop local, buy independent, support your farmers.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump wants another $500 billion for the military, on top of the $1 trillion we already spend.

He wants to pay for that by cutting health care, child care and other needs of the working class.

This is totally nuts. We need to invest in our people, not more bombs and guns.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Je viens de m’entretenir avec Peter Magyar pour le féliciter de sa victoire en Hongrie !

La France salue une victoire de la participation démocratique, de l’attachement du peuple hongrois aux valeurs de l’Union européenne et pour la Hongrie en Europe.

Ensemble, faisons avancer une Europe plus souveraine, pour la sécurité de notre continent, notre compétitivité et notre démocratie.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

"A whole civilization will die tonight” are words no President of the United States had ever spoken until this morning. Donald Trump’s behavior is unhinged and making Americans less safe. After a 25-year career in the United States Navy, I have never met or served with anyone who so completely lacks the qualities of good leadership as Donald Trump does.

If the President takes the actions he has threatened to take, countless Iranian civilians will die, it will massively escalate this war, and the United States will be seen as a country without a moral or ethical compass. That will make Americans less safe right now and risk the lives of thousands of service members. The consequences will have a lasting and damaging effect on our nation.

Trump's mistakes have led us to this perilous moment, but the solution is not to escalate even further. This must stop.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.

These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

[Hoodlum 🇺🇸 @NotHoodlum]

It’s not just millions of Americans turning out in droves to call out Trump. Protesters worldwide have taken to the streets for “No Kings” rallies. In Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Australia, crowds marched with signs condemning Trump and his war with Iran.
