NEW: Walmart found a creative, illegal way to make sure they have the lowest prices. They're forcing companies to raise prices on any competitor who dares to sell items at a lower price than Walmart. They're using their size and reach to squeeze out stores across America.

Btw, Gallup’s last report of Trump’s approval rating was among the lowest rating for President ever recorded in its history. Now, after 88 years, they’re not measuring it anymore. Nothing suspicious going on here I’m sure.
Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years https://t.co/3eoOil1LCX

The stock market is up so we don’t have to prosecute pedophiles is one of the worst political messages i have ever heard.
Pam Bondi LOSES HER MIND when asked why she has not indicted any of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. “The Dow is over 50k right now, the Nasdaq smashing records, that’s what we should be talking about!!”

HOT TAKE: nobody in 1975 needed a budget app, a financial coach, and a side hustle to afford a two bedroom apartment. this isn’t a personal finance problem. it’s a wage theft problem.

I’m the CEO of a hot dog company. I’ve worked on hot dogs for 10 years. And *I* wasn’t prepared for what I’ve just seen. Your life is about to change. So what can you do? Buy as many hot dogs as you can. Buy stock in hot dog companies.

I think its a problem that we see these kinds of warnings and resignations as being about some sci-fi fantasy robot apocalypse, rather than the very real and already happening use of these tools by the state to surveil, control, and punish us at every turn.
head of anthropic’s safeguards research just quit and said “the world is in peril” and that he’s moving to the UK to write poetry and “become invisible”. other safety researchers and senior staff left over the last 2 weeks as well... probably nothing.

the “something big is coming” article is just one big ad for ai, where the only solution to the problem is the problem. fear is a powerful marketing tactic.

Incredibly stupid move by Meta, even more so given the upcoming midterms. This should blow back in every way possible. Big Tech is antithetical to a well functioning democracy.
Instagram has suspended Track AIPAC, the highly popular watchdog project that documents AIPAC’s political spending, citing a violation of Instagram intellectual property rules, specifically trademark rules. The account tracks FEC donations, and points out top-funded lawmakers.

There's a reason why the rich and powerful tell you the solution to our problems is to tax them less.

Not only should stock trading be banned for U.S. Senators, we should be locking people up for obvious insider trading. Martha Stewart went to jail for WAY less. The double standard is insane.
BREAKING: Senator John Hickenlooper filed a purchase of up to $100,000 of stock in Eaton Corporation. Eaton is a power management company. Hickenlooper sits on the Senate Committee on Energy. We'll be keeping an eye on $ETN.

Holy shit. These numbers must be apocalyptic.

We need to start discussing openly the necessity of punishing the corrupt in this country. Reform is no longer going to be enough. Elite impunity needs to end.

Joe Biden created a free government alternative to TurboTax, and then when Trump took over, one of the first things he did was get rid of it.
TurboTax having a Super Bowl ad every year about how they make taxes simpler when they’re one of the main lobbyists to keep taxes complex so they can make even more money. Don’t pmo.
