I suppose it was inevitable that he’d find a way to use “Trump” and “class” in the same sentence. It wasn’t going to happen any other way.

When a president calls affordability a hoax, he’s repudiating lived experience. That’s a moral failure, not economic It says power has stopped listening and started sneering. Nations don’t usually fall from invasion. They rot when leaders insist hunger is imaginary and expect applause for saying so.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

Some of the most useful insights into what’s happening to America are coming from political analysts outside the United States. Here’s a particularly lucid essay that I think you should read.

Re: Donald Trump’s comments about Rob Reiner.
Rob Reiner was a compassionate human, a devotee of democracy, a necessary moral voice and a greatly gifted creative artist.
Donald Trump is a sick sociopath and a hateful person who dishonors the human race every time he opens his mouth.

"Above all, Rob was a mensch. We were friends. He was a big shot who did not act like a big shot."
Rob Reiner was a mensch. In death, he showed us Trump’s a schmuck.
The president's remarks about the murder of the filmmaker and his wife cast Trump as petty and callous.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
