I don't understand why the liberal media keeps talking about how the current administration is always operating in unprecedented ways. This is their SOP! UPENDING THE PRECEDENT TO WIN IS THEIR GOAL!

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

While sitting in shul this morning, I prayed for peace.
I filled my lungs with it, I used my tongue to express it, I centered my heart on it.
And I remembered that praying for peace was happening in every shul in the world on Shabbat morning.
Bimheira beyameinu, may it happen quickly in our days

Set our minds, our hearts,
our wills and our desires
upon the wealth
of your kingdom, Lord,
and not upon the wealth
of earthly selfishness and greed.
Lift our focus to desire a world
which puts people above possessions;
that is just, merciful, and peaceful for all.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent.
Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list.
This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts.
It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

What the enthralled MAGA voters don't understand and the democrats keep misrepresenting is that Trump and his oligarchy aren't as interested in the money as they are in keeping you in your place.
