New analysis from Americans for Tax Fairness: US Billionaires added $5.1 trillion to their fortunes since 2017. To put that in perspective, if that money went to the American people instead, every household would get $37,800.

During a shutdown, the federal government can deploy troops to invade US cities but can’t send WIC funds to states to feed infants and children. Speaks volumes about how the rules around shutdowns systematically serve GOP priorities while harming everyone else.

I keep seeing the Trump-Intel deal called socialism, but there’s a term for this. This parallels what Mussolini did—the Italian state was one of the world’s largest industrial owners while keeping private companies. Nazi Germany did this too. So did Francoist Spain. It’s called state corporatism.

When I was a kid playing soccer, we’d blame the ref after a loss. It wasn’t a winning strategy then, and it’s not an economic strategy now. Don't deny the numbers. Face reality. Fix your strategy.

For whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.
Billionaires ramped up support for Trump in 2024 and are now watching their fortunes plummet (-7.4% already). Not surprising for a GOP admin—it's history repeating itself.
The billionaires who attended Trump's inauguration are faring even worse—they are down a combined $194B YTD, a 17.5% haircut.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Musk added another $2 million—he's now up to $10.2 million in spending to put his bought-and-paid-for MAGA candidate, Brad Schimel, into the decisive seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court.

Russia’s leaders have said nothing about peace. They have made a list of demands on the US, the fulfillment of which allows them to broaden the war against Ukraine. And the US simply fulfills all of these Russian demands without question. That is only a peace process in the Orwellian sense.
