"Microsoft is “forcing games into powering down their Xbox consoles in order to fight climate change” reads the intro of a new post on The Blaze, which was promptly shared by conservatives all over the internet, making its way up to even Senator Ted Cruz, who warned that like gas stoves and coffee, liberals were now coming for your video games:
What…exactly is going on here? Well, as you may guess, nothing like what’s being said here at all. The phrasing makes it sound like Microsoft is forcibly shutting off Xboxes to help the environment when they are in fact just changing some power save options and shuffling download schedules around."

Political Video: "Broke" Railroad Company Union Pacific Spent BILLIONS on Stock Buy Backs
One of the massive rail corporation spent $6.3 billion buying back their own shares. John Iadarola and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks. Watch TYT LIVE on weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live
Read more HERE: https://www.commondreams.org/news/union-pacific-stock-buybacks
"Union Pacific, one of the largest rail corporations in the United States, said Tuesday that it brought in record revenue and profits last year as it successfully fought off workers' push for paid sick leave.
The company reported $7 billion in net income for 2022 as a whole and said it spent a whopping $6.3 billion repurchasing its own shares—significantly more than the $4.6 billion it spent on employee pay and benefits last year.
“Instead of buying back their own stock, UP should be investing in their employees by offering paid sick leave, reasonable schedules, and a better quality of life for railroaders," Ed Hall, the newly elected president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, told CNN on Tuesday. "This is the only way the railroad will be able to solve their recruitment and retention problems and keep the trains running."
