No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

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 EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

Don't let MTG's recent attempts at rationality fool you. She was one of the loudest "birther bitches" accusing Obama.
Like so many others, she has used insider knowledge to enrich herself. Personal wealth went from $700,000 to over $21 MILLION.

I’m 64 years old. For much of my life I have believed that the goal of the Republican Party is to consolidate all business and industry in the hands of a few. Big advancements under Reagan, however now seems like we are racing toward Oligarchy.
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

It’s long past time.
A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.

Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

The only reason why Putin would send drones into Poland would be that he doesn't believe Donald Trump would ultimately honor America's commitment to NATO and he wants to test that proposition.

Charlie Kirk: "I think it's worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe."

I know the Democrats are trying to find something to praise the felon for in the hopes that he will fire RFK Jr.
But Operation Warp Speed would have happened no matter who the President was, even a moron like him. And he knew Kennedy was a crackpot. It was a feature, not a glitch.

Congress is AWOL with respect to upholding the Constitution.
One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say.
Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

Middle and low-income earners’ consumer confidence is plummeting, while high earners’ is going up.

Be warned: this spells doom for our consumer spending-driven economy.

Trump and republican politicians always over spend with tax cuts to the rich since Ronald Regan and every Republican president since. When will voters learn the history of this party.

Were you to ask Leavitt etc, they would identify themselves as patriots whose beliefs rest on the country’s foundation. But with their talk of demons and evil, they are framing reality in a way that would justify Donald Trump’s campaign for fascist power.
