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.

🧵 How many times have you heard "Blacks are 13% of the population and commit 50% of violent crime"?

Well, racists have been using the UCR wrong for their tired narrative. Let's set the record straight.

It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion…

… and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines.

Infuriating.
Giant YTD drops in Chicago for basically all crimes.

Huge 4-reductions in Chicago for all violence. Murders are down FIFTY PERCENT.

Property crimes are dropping, tho still higher than before. But MRAPs don’t stop theft.

This is all pretext. Yet the WaPo subhed frames it as a “crime” issue.

The fact that there are people trashing Leader Hakeem Jeffries for not doing what a Governor can do shows how ignorant people are of how government works. He is the MINORITY LEADER of Congress b/c that is what the majority of white people voted for. Go deal with you MAGA family and friends.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.
Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s
An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.

This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.

They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

The fact that a term such as “reverse discrimination” exists is an admission that gives away the whole game: Even they are defining the normal discrimination as being against people who aren’t white and straight.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit.

House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent.

They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

This is an era where it’s really important to know your rights and to make sure others around you know their rights,

NO, ICE cannot enter your home without a *judicial* warrant. Not an administrative one like what they were trying to use with the WI judge to arrest someone.

A judge-signed warrant.
