Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Fun Fact: A better world is possible.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students.

Over the past week, the Trump regime has flip-flopped on using contingency funds to fund SNAP multiple times.

Meanwhile, 42 million Americans are still at risk of going hungry while Trump sows confusion and chaos.

Don’t forget what’s at stake here.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Stopped by a canvass in Bed-Stuy tonight. I’m truly in awe of the determination and joy our volunteers bring to this campaign, every single day.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

🧵The National Institutes of Health is in the middle of a major hiring freeze.

The entire agency has been crippled.

Unless you're a good friend of JD Vance.

Then you just suddenly and magically become the director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Services.
