Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Yea, I’m not waiting on this supposed GOP health care plan.

The truth is Republicans have had TWO DECADES to produce a bill to lower health care costs and protect care.

They don’t have a plan because they don’t want to lower your costs. Period.

Let me be clear about what this case is & why its cover up is so disturbing. The President is engaged in a direct cover up of crimes.

What I take from his efforts is a desperate attempt to bend the law & the truth—even if that means turning on other members of his own party.

Release the files.

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.
This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

If there is one consistent thing this president has said for a decade now, it is that he wants to kill Obamacare.

We shouldn't be surprised that he is kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance — and raising costs for tens of millions more.
