The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.
Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.
Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.
But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.
The legacy of the Roberts court.

The Trump admin is turning US cities into armed camps and are doing everything they can to provoke people because they desperately want to arrest people for exercising their first amendment rights since they derive more sick and twisted pleasure from that than anything else.

Trump continues to order the summary execution of people on boats in the Caribbean while asking everyone to accept his word that they deserved to die because they were smuggling drugs. We will never know in most cases if they were innocent or guilty of what he accuses them of.

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.
It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake and board seat at TikTok.
Everything is for sale.

Because there are no left wing groups. There is no leftwing counterpoint to The Oathkeepers, 3 Percenters, Proud Boys, Patriot Front, The KKK, etc. etc. etc. Are you starting to finally see the problem?

After the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, it was natural that his allies, including Trump, lionized him as a patriot, free-speech advocate, and activist.
Here’s the problem: Kirk built his movement with falsehoods. And his advocacy was laced with racist and bigoted statements.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way
His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

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.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees.
In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks – which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay.
Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024.
Textbook corporate greed.
