 John,The Federal Reserve has a corruption problem… and it goes all the way to the top.Not only is Powell using his position as Chair of the Federal Reserve to engage in corrupt insider trading behavior, but he is also failing to regulate Wall Street and giving massive subsidies to fossil fuel compa…

Kyrsten Sinema is a sellout

 John,Kyrsten Sinema is better friends with corporate lobbyists and mega-millionaire donors than she is to the Black, brown, and indigenous communities who helped elect her in 2018.So it’s no surprise that as the New York Times reports that Sinema has "effectively cut off communication with the loca…

Elon Musk mocked Jeff Bezos

 John,Earlier this week, Elon Musk mocked Jeff Bezos tweeting a 2nd place symbol at him as he once again became the richest man in the world by well over $30 billion.It is outrageous that one man is worth over $200 billion dollars.What’s even more outrageous is that they joke about it while paying e…
