A bit out-of-date (2004) but sill informative.

Amazon Delivery: Outsourced, Involved in Accidents, Overworked Drivers
A yearlong investigation — based on that data, along with internal documents, government records, thousands of court files, and interviews with dozens of current and former Amazon employees, delivery company operators, managers, and drivers — reveals that Amazon’s pivot to delivery has, all too often, exposed communities across the country to chaos, exploitative working conditions, and, in many cases, peril.
The Federalist Society: Is it a Right-Wing Political Group?
Based on its history, its actions, and Trump’s reliance on it for judicial nominees, it is, in my opinion, a political organization.
The Federalist Society denies it. Of course, it must if it hopes to keep its IRS non-profit status.

Corporate Media: Untrustworthy. Deceptive. Lies.
Jeff Bezos (Amazon) owns the Washington Post (WaPo). He’s apparently no fan of Bernie’s.
In one instance, WaPo ran 16 negative articles about Bernie in 16 hours.
Now a WaPo “fact checker” has falsely attacked Bernie’s claim that medical bills are responsible for 50% of bankruptcies. Bernie’s claim is supported by a report in a medical journal.
Corporate media: Don’t trust it.
Trump’s Doral Country Club Bed Bugs
Despite his claim that rumors about bedbugs were part of a “Radical Left” plot to spread false information about the property, the Doral Golf Club settled a lawsuit with a patron over bed bugs just two years ago.

Elizabeth Warren: Hillary Redux?
David Koch Escaped the Climate Hell He Helped Create
It’s reported that David Koch is dead.
The billionaire died this week at age 79 of causes yet unknown. While he certainly enjoyed the fruits of his labors to deregulate U.S. industry and reduce taxes on the super-wealthy like himself, he will never have to experience the consequences of his biggest achievement: putting the entire planet on the brink of crisis in the service of enriching himself and a few other fossil fuel billionaires. And we, the people and future generations who are going to live with the fallout, will never see him or the small cadre of wealthy conservatives who funded decades of climate denial face any form of justice.
Trump Screws Veterans Who Need V.A. Assistance
Top officials of the Department of Veterans Affairs declined to step in to try to exempt veterans and their families from a new immigration rule that would make it far easier to deny green cards to low-income immigrants, according to documents obtained by ProPublica under a Freedom of Information Act request.
The Department of Defense, on the other hand, worked throughout 2018 to minimize the new policy’s impact on military families.
As a result, the regulation, which goes into effect in October, applies just as strictly to veterans and their families as it does to the broader public, while active-duty members of the military and reserve forces face a relaxed version of the rule.
