Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?

Iran-News im Liveblog: Sechs Tage Irankrieg sollen USA mehr als elf Milliarden Dollar gekostet haben Laut Donald Trump gibt es in Iran »praktisch nichts mehr, was man angreifen könnte«.

From the neoliberal community on Reddit: U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says Explore this post and more from the neoliberal community

From Reddit. Pete Hegseth ordered our military servicemen to bomb a school full of little girls and teachers. The soldiers that are responsible will probably never get over this and the families of the children and teachers who died definitely will not.

Are people short-selling fat guys on see saws?

Don’t give them what they want.
Don’t comply.
Fight back like your life depends on it, because it does.

The pro-MAGA press can’t agree on how to cover Trump's war on Iran A combination of fight, flight, fawn, and freeze.

It was inevitable that one day MAGA media would be forced to cover an actual news event that does not always reflect favorably on the president. With the invasion of Iran, that day has now arrived.

+++ 20:47 Selenskyj: Trump muss Druck auf Putin ausüben - "nicht auf mich" +++ Ukraine-Krieg im Liveticker

Washington needs to put more pressure on Putin, "not on me," Zelenskyy told Politico. Trump had recently attributed greater willingness to negotiate to Putin than to Zelenskyy. Nevertheless, in the interview, the Ukrainian president explicitly praised the US mediation efforts for peace in Ukraine

First, Kristi Noem threw a temper tantrum over her blankie being left on a plane.

Now, Pete Hegseth is kicking photographers out because their pictures aren’t flattering enough.

Photographers are there to document the news, not stroke the egos of politicians.

Get over yourself.

The Federal Government has not demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits or “serious legal questions” coupled with a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in its favor. Any harm from the investigation- specific disqualification is abstract at best, whereas granting a stay would reinstate an official who acted without lawful authority -- a clear injury to the State Government. The public interest likewise favors ensuring that governmental power is exercised only by officials with lawful authority. Each factor, and all four taken together, weigh against granting a stay.

Another defeat for another unconstitutionally appointed Trump DOJ prosecutor:

Ex-Trump campaign lawyer John Sarcone will remain disqualified as U.S. Attorney for Albany, and his subpoenas to Letitia James' office will stay quashed.

He's not likely to succeed on appeal, a judge finds.

They are heroes!🇩🇪
