Not known for political coverage, Wired takes a leading role in tracking Elon Musk's team

Shortly after becoming Wired's global editorial director in 2023, Katie Drummond acted on an early-morning idea. With a presidential election coming, the...

Holy shit! In the USA the poorer you are the less they pay you. Why isn’t this illegal?

“A January 2025 report from Groundwork Collective documents how increasingly nurses in the USA are hired through gig apps – "Uber for nurses” – so nurses never know from one day to the next whether they're going to work, or how much they'll get paid.
There's something high-tech going on here with those nurses' wages. These nursing apps – a cartel of three companies, Shiftkey, Shiftmed and Carerev – can play all kinds of games with labor pricing.

“Before Shiftkey offers a nurse a shift, it purchases that worker's credit history from a data-broker. Specifically, it pays to find out how much credit-card debt the nurse is carrying, and whether it is overdue.

“The more desperate the nurse's financial straits are, the lower the wage on offer. Because the more desperate you are, the less you'll accept to come and do the gruntwork of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the dying.”

Statement from the editors of Reuters, The Associated Press and Bloomberg News
#USPol #journalism

https://reutersagency.com/resources/statement-from-the-editors-of-reuters-the-associated-press-and-bloomberg-news
Reuters, The Associated Press and Bloomberg News today issued the following statement: The three permanent wires in the White House pool, The Associated Press, Bloomberg News and Reuters, have long worked to ensure that accurate, fair and timely information about the presidency is communicated to a broad audience of all political persuasions, both in the United States and globally. Much of the White House coverage people see in their local news outlets, wherever they are in the world, comes from the wires. It is essential in a democracy for the public to have access to news about their government from an independent, free press. We believe that any steps by the government to limit the number of wire services with access to the President threatens that principle. It also harms the spread of reliable information to people, communities, businesses and global financial markets that heavily depend on our reporting.

This is exactly why rich men buy media: to make them spew right-wing propaganda. Anyone still subscribing to or posting from the #WashingtonPost is…not someone I will be following.

If Donnie and Elon Fascist really go through with their plan to evict 15 million undocumented taxpayers the cost will be enormous.

How much would you pay for plane tickets for 15 million people? and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

This is gonna be the biggest government spending spree is history.

Donald McRapesalot and self-confessed dog and goat killer Kristi Noem want those who haven't filled out immigration paperwork to fill out some new immigration paperwork that says they haven't filled out immigration paperwork.

People who haven't filled out paperwork will be punished, and anyone who doesn't fill out the new "I haven't filled out paperwork" paperwork will be extra punished.

Item:

Trump announced tonight that he will now be selling US citizenship for $5 million: “We’re going to be selling a Trump Gold Card. We going to put a price on that card of $5 million. It’s going to give you Green Card privileges plus. It’s going to be a route to citizenship and wealthy people will be coming into our country.”

… He was then asked if a Russian oligarch could buy the card: “Yeah, possibly. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people. I think they can afford $5 million.”

When Democrats sneer at those who didn't vote Dem because of genocide ... and hoping Trump will do worse ...

.. are admitting the premise that they were complicit in genocide.

The Saudi behaviour on Palestine has never made sense to me.

This discussion provides one explanation which may or may not be correct - but it is plausible, given history.

" ‘A true free-speech emergency’: alarm over Trump’s ‘chilling’ attacks on media"

"Warning comes as FCC, chaired by Trump ally and Project 2025 author, orders investigations into US media groups"

#USpol #USpolitics #FirstAmendment #pressfreedom #media #journalism

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/24/trump-free-speech-media-attack
Rebecca Hamilton, a professor at American University Washington College of Law, told the Guardian that the FCC investigations could affect journalists’ ability to report on the Trump administration. “Valid FCC investigations can have a positive impact on the information ecosystem. But the latest FCC investigations launched by Carr are aligned with a broader effort by the Trump administration to punish outlets that Trump dislikes. Such investigations risk creating a chilling effect on the ability of journalists to report without fear of retaliation,” she said. The FCC's investigations into media organizations, Hamilton wrote in a recent piece for Just Security, represent “a wholesale effort by Trump and his allies to eviscerate the free press in order to construct an information ecosystem dominated and controlled by those who espouse his views".

Dear #God ---

More and more we're beginning to realize it's not in the cards for homo sapiens as a species.

It's ok.

Try, try again, as they say. Right?

But, before you send them off, we do have one little suggestion.

On your next go at creating humans, could you please see to turning up the long term reward mechanism setting and turning down the short term reward mechanism setting.

That'd be great.

Signed,
All the remaining species on planet earth.

#Trump says #tariffs will go forward against #Canada & blames Biden for making bad trade deals w/Canada.

The last president who made a trade deal w/Canada was actually Trump in his first term, when he negotiated the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Likewise, Trump talks about the “tremendous fraud, tremendous waste” in government without saying why he did nothing about it during his first term.
