The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history.
It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy.
There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was.
Today is one of those days.

What did America's largest corporations do with their spoils from Trump's tax scam? Between 2017 and 2022:
-Stock buybacks jumped 98%
-Dividends increased by 40%
-Meanwhile, wages only grew by 14%
In some years these corporations paid their CEOs more than they paid in taxes.

Someone once told me, "The word economy means eco- as in habitat, and -nomy as law. Our economy is our home, and WE create the laws that create our home"
WE have the power. Let's stop pretending the economy is out of our hands.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
