Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did this week.

My friend Robbie went missing in action in Vietnam on October 12, 1972. His body has never been recovered. I think of him every Memorial Day — and what he died fighting for.

For years, Hungary's Viktor Orban gerrymandered his opposition out of power. But in the end, all the dirty tricks in the world couldn't save him from sinking approval ratings and massive voter turnout. There's a lesson here for us.

Someone told me to watch this SNL sketch about America’s “media-opoly.” It feels eerily prophetic given today's media environment. Watch.

Wondering if wealth inequality is out of control?

We've never seen an economy so bad for workers — and so good for the super rich. It’s only going to get worse with AI. How should we respond?

Zohran Mamdani is right. Bezos must pay his fair share in taxes.

The affordability crisis isn’t an accident — it’s driven by concentrated corporate power. Just look at the latest evidence in California's price-fixing case against Amazon.

Scott Pelley gave an impassioned speech a year ago that’s worth watching today. Kudos to him and other 60 Minutes correspondents and staff for defending the media and our democracy.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

In a shocking scene that crosses all red lines worldwide, Israeli occupation army soldiers stormed a school in the city of Al-Khalil to arrest 8-year-old Palestinian children, causing widespread terror among their remaining classmates.

🚨The Pentagon is asking for another $1,500,000,000,000 in taxpayer dollars. The Air Force is asking for $338,800,000,000 — a $92,500,000,000 budget increase. These are big numbers, but they will never become abstractions to me. Public trust depends on clean audits.

“That’s not when we need your courage.” @profgalloway.com and @karaswisher.bsky.social predict Bill Cassidy will become more anti-Trump now that he’s lost his Senate primary—but say it’s too little, too late.

Wake the fuck up Canada 🇨🇦.

Sec. Lutnick previously said he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. But newly released records show he visited Epstein’s private island in 2012—four years after Epstein’s conviction for soliciting a minor.   Americans deserve full transparency about Secretary Lutnick’s relationship with Epstein.
