America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

🇺🇲 Happy Holidays to those who served, sacrificed, and believed. To civil servants, Foreign Service, FSNs, partners, communities, and the American people. This year was hard. Helping humanity is not partisan. Never forget. Let’s rebuild together.

Proudly by the American people. 🙏

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Mark Kelly on Trump’s military probe: “I haven’t heard anything — Social media, that’s how we were notified. That’s how unserious they are — I spent 25 years in the United States Navy. I retired from the Navy 14 years ago. I’m not in any command now. I don’t know what they’re talking about”

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

Maybe, just maybe, some Republican elected officials around the country are getting tired of being threatened by a nearly 80 year old corrupt mob boss with a 36% approval rating who is increasingly unhinged and might actually start to grow spines. One can always hope.

SHARE NOW: Texas just got a whole lot louder. Jasmine Crockett is running for the United States Senate and Republicans should be terrified. She’s smart, fearless, relentless, and she doesn’t back down from anybody. This is the matchup Texas deserves. Let’s go.

The next Democratic administration should expand the court.

There’s no other way to redeem SCOTUS at this point.
