The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships.
The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.
Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling.
You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve.
This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme.

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.
We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion
Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion
Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.
It's reverse Robin Hood.

You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way.

Under Chair Lina Khan, the FTC just voted to ban junk fees in hotels and live-event ticketing.
This is exactly what government working for the people looks like.
The lone no vote against this rule? Trump's pick for FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson.
The contrast couldn't be clearer.
