As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

So CBS settled Trump’s lawsuit where he frivolously sued because they edited Kamala Harris’s interview so it would fit into their air time.
Then CBS does a 73 minute interview of Trump where they made big edits from the version that was broadcast.
They aired 28 of 73 minutes.

On Wednesday SCOTUS will consider whether Trump can invoke “emergency powers” to impose tariffs on nearly all US trading partners. He’s said he’d view a defeat as “a personal insult.” That sounds like a president threatening members of a coequal branch meant to check his power.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
