"Extreme wealth is never earned; it is only enabled."
"Because working people have been shunted into defined contribution, self-funded retirement schemes, their futures are wedded to stock market returns in a way that people in similarly wealthy democracies find unimaginable." Inequality in the US is obscene. My thoughts:

This morning the victims of Epstein’s depravity were brave enough to speak. Where were OHGOP Reps Davidson and Carey this morning? Hiding in the WH bunker perhaps? They are so close to Trump on this that if they were at a Catholic HS dance, the nuns would tell them to leave room for Jesus.

Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

More millions of taxpayer money going down the drain because Trump is going golfing again this coming weekend at his Bedminister, NJ club. How do I know? The FAA has issued a NOTAM that there will be a 30-nautical mile radius Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over the area.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

As the government flings itself apart, we will keep coming back to the grim reality. Trump can’t be restrained, or reasoned with, or babysat for the next four years. The only way to bring power back under the rule of law is to remove a lawless man from power.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
