The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

The GOP budget bill could gut the FTC by moving its antitrust authority to the DOJ, limiting the government's ability to bring unfair competition cases.
It would also let Pam Bondi, an ex-Amazon lobbyist, call the shots on antitrust.
Big Business must be thrilled.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst.
Every dictator in history has lied.
Donald Trump is no different.

If Trump can disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?
Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
