According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.

At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. 

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration.

This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power.

It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

President Bukele allowed Kristi Noem and a Republican Congressman to visit the CECOT facility.

He denied access to Senator Chris Van Hollen.

If you couldn't tell this was a game, it's clear as day.

Middle-class families can’t afford Trump’s new national sales tax. I’ll keep doing all I can to reassert Congress’ authority in matters of trade and fight to keep your everyday costs from going up.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.” Approximately four hours later, he announced a 90-day pause on most trade tariffs, leading to a significant surge in the stock market. Do you think this is insider trading?

And ICE are the Gestapo.
These are concentration camps.
Immigrant women say they were held "like animals" in ICE detention and subjected to conditions so extreme they feared for their lives.

I, for one, welcome the “abundance” fight. It shows the left can fight Trumpism while wrestling with how we can be better than we’ve been.

I have no interest in “actually the government has been doing great” liberalism.
