“If you’re a billionaire, you want to stay a billionaire,” John Catsimatidis told @bethreinhard.bsky.social. “I worry about America and the way of life we have.”

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

For far too many families, the cost of childcare is driving them out of the city they love.
New Yorkers deserve to be able to afford to raise families here.

Jeffrey Epstein said that Trump “knew about the girls.” But what did he really mean?

“Combatants” ?
“more daylight” ?
Is Trump proposing to change the way earth orbits the sun?
This issue is rife with confused terminology. The last thing it needs is more sloppy media coverage

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Taking care of Medicare like the Detroit mob took care of Jimmy Hoffa.
Trump: "We took care of Medicaid and Medicare. We took care of everything. We didn't know where we'd stand in a year or two years from now, so we put every single thing that we wanted in that bill for four years. So we don't need anymore votes."
