You’re going to have to bear with me, as I haven’t been sleeping well for a decade or so.
Admittedly, I’m not at my best these days.

Just sharing this joyful moment from earlier in the week—right before we gaveled back in and our new sister, Rep. Grijalva, was finally, finally sworn in to represent Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. We're so excited to have our newest congresswoman here representing in the House!

The world’s poorest people want the opportunity to work in order to break out of poverty — but capitalism requires capital. As you’ll see in this clip from my travels in Ethiopia, providing new ways for the poor to access banking & small loans unleashes entrepreneurial energy and stokes development.

More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.
There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.
The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.
This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.
Why is no one talking about this?

While we appreciate that the Epstein estate has been transparent, it’s time for the Administration to do their part.

Of course. Christianity in the United States has gone berserk and in all too many instances a tool of political corruption and scandal. Christantian Nationalism has become an instrument of hate and division far removed from the teachings of Christ.
