The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Combine this story with the layoffs at CBS this week and you see the pattern. Trump and his ally Larry Ellison now control CBS, and soon Tik Tok. CNN may soon follow. This is the Orban model brought to America.
I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Take it from an old coach. You can't win if you don't go on offense. So much of the Trump assault on democracy (ie. Texas), and Project 2025 is being channeled through Statehouses. Thanks David Pepper. It's time to go on offense! open.substack.com/pub/davidpep...

The Ohio legislature once again following the Viktor Orban model of how to destroy democracy. Or is it Orban following the Ohio model?

My wife and I are retired teachers. Every retired and currently serving teacher should watch and share this video. Ohio's corrupt government, dominated by its gerrymandered legislature has seized control of STRS! Infuriating!, but there is still hope if we act together!

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

The renewable revolution will be a powerful driver of economic growth in this century. Repealing the IRA would be a historic mistake.
"But today, Sumter [South Carolina] is experiencing a resurgence, fueled in part by state and federal incentives like the IRA’s tax credits, which are driving a new wave of advanced manufacturing."

At-risk IRA tax credits drive industrial-scale infrastructure in red and blue states
The Inflation Reduction Act is a bipartisan success story, but if these tax credits disappear, so will plans for future factories, jobs and the chance to reclaim our industrial leadership.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged nearly 430 ppm in April 2025 (new record high)
10 years ago April averaged about 404 ppm. Preliminary data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/...
This isn't going away. The longer we wait to address climate change, the greater the impacts and the harder it becomes to solve

Some times you just get lucky. On that night in October 2017 I did. David Pepper and the entire Ohio Dem. Party gave me tremendous support, but most of all I made a great friend. The message is absolutely true. We need to build a team with a great bench. Take it from me, I know about team building!

Please watch, and call your Representative and Senators. The SAVE Act is a 21st Century Poll tax. Its is an attempt to rig elections, just as was done in the Jim Crow era.
