Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.
We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists.
We need a wealth tax.

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

It appears the Appeals Court is going to allow National Guard troops to invade Portland Oregon. I guess the green frogs where to much for ICE alone. The federal court system should be ashamed of itself for allowing this to happen.

Alongside Tribal partners, we raised the flags of the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations on the Capitol Mall.
With these flags raised high, we’re honoring our government-to-government partnership and recognizing that our Indigenous neighbors are not in the past.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

If Mike Johnson’s right and the Big Ugly Bill doesn’t cut Medicaid…
Why did Tillis decry it?
Why did Hawley slam it in a NYT op-ed?
Why did Murkowski admit it’ll hurt other states?
The truth is breaking through. They can’t defend the indefensible.

Interesting how Florida has the highest rent inflation in the country because it won’t create affordable housing. And yet if it wants to put a roof over people ICE kidnaps, they can build it in a week. 🤔

Trump wants to cut more than a billion dollars from the FBI and ATF, eviscerating the agencies that investigate terrorist threats, cybercrimes, and get illegal guns off the streets.
White House seeks budget cuts for Justice Department law enforcement offices, sources say
The White House is poised to ask Congress to cut funding for several of the Justice Department's law enforcement offices under a budget proposal that would likely hamper its ability to carry out the Trump administration's pledge to crack down on violent crime, three sources familiar with the matter said.
