American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar.

Why? This chart has the answer.

My God, these Republicans are such losers. Here’s the chair of the RNC casually claiming Democrats stole the 2020 election—with zero evidence to back it up. They simply cannot grasp how deeply unpopular their policies are with the American people.

We're not even a week into Black History Month, and Trump has shared a video that depicts former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes.

Republican Sen. Tim Scott called it “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”

So, first of all, of course it was Trump.

But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.

This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

Our latest research on prison gerrymandering shows that the practice deprives urban communities of color of political representation. Undoing it is a crucial step toward ensuring equitable political representation. bit.ly/4akENKl
Prison Gerrymandering Distorts Representation
Counting incarcerated people at their homes rather than prisons could result in additional state house seats for some urban communities of color.

As the orchestra said, “In light of what’s happening in our community right now, this weekend’s program will open with the Adagietto from Mahler’s Symphony No. 5."

Bang on the money:

“Let it haunt Trump and his racist followers that future Americans will embrace the Obamas as beloved figures while studying him as a stain on our history.”

Trump is determined to be remembered as a 'great man'.
His curse is that he won't be.
