The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Don't just read the headline. Take a moment to watch the video. It's short.
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.

Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.

There is no justification for this. None.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police.

Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack
Horrors of Trump detention centre: Lisburn man tells his story after arrest for 'looking like a Mexican'

Lee Stinton was lifted by US immigration police on an American street — in an incident he compared to a kidnapping.

Here, he tells us his story.

I don’t have only professional concerns about the destruction of the U.S. vaccine program. It’s also personal. I am immunosuppressed and if we lose herd immunity, my right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is over.

In fact, almost everyone knows and cares about someone high-risk.

Trump’s budget bill is a disaster for public health.

It’s the biggest cut to health care in history.

12 million people will lose health insurance.

Hundreds of hospitals will close.

1 in 4 nursing homes will close.

Millions more families won’t have enough food.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

ICE raids are leaving fields full of rotting food in California.
Even the documented workers are not showing up.

And guess what? You’ll still want your strawberries then you’ll pay more for imported ones.

This isn’t border security.
It’s cruel economic sabotage, dressed up as patriotism.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?

Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.

She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.

Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community.
