Despite higher insurance premiums, bigger tax cuts for the wealthy, and wages that haven’t kept up, I’m still grateful for what we do have: each other. Wishing everyone a warm and restful holiday season.

Gold has surged back to all-time highs above ~$4,400 per ounce, up roughly 60–70% in 2025. Its strongest yearly performance in over four decades. Clearly, everyone wants in after questionable fiscal and monetary policy.

Yesterday was unforgettable! I played the best round of golf I’ve ever had—hitting two birdies and breaking 90 for the first time in just my first year of play.
Maybe in my second year, I can aim to break 80?

Crazy how we went from "taxing the rich" to giving the rich tax cuts. Make it make sense.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Don’t give up like the dems did during the gov shutdown!
Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.
Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

No one cares… we are more concerned about cutting subsidies and taxes for the rich.
BREAKING: Former Federal Reserve governor Adriana Kugler, who suddenly stepped down in July, repeatedly broke the central bank’s trading rules, trading before policy meetings and blackout periods.
Her husband traded Apple $AAPL, Southwest Airlines and Cava $CAVA and others.

It’s inspiring to see a new generation of leaders emerging. The people chose representation beyond the usual Democrat or Republican labels. They’ve voted for a democratic socialist who genuinely puts the people first.

Another reason our leaders are so incompetent: they live in a billionaire bubble, detached from the realities most people face while serving mainly other billionaires and trillionaire corporations.

Man, it’s unbelievable how incompetent our leaders have become. I really didn't think that it could get worse. But look, inflation keeps driving prices higher, yet they’re busy pointing fingers during a government shutdown over subsidies that actually help most Americans.

Can't wait to see what happens in the next 8 years. Hundreds of billions becomes tens of trillions at this rate.
Tax breaks via the BBB
Entitlements slashed
Incomes stagnant
When will we actually start doing something about inequality?

New analysis from Americans for Tax Fairness: US Billionaires added $5.1 trillion to their fortunes since 2017. To put that in perspective, if that money went to the American people instead, every household would get $37,800.

Had so much fun playing at Torrey Pines yesterday! Was the most windy conditions I’ve played, which made it even more fun. Shot 103, birdie on hole 7, and got trapped a couple times in bunkers.
