Yes, Trump is a threat to democracy. But the far bigger menace is the monstrous growth in wealth concentration over five decades that made a Trump presidency possible—and maybe inevitable.

How the Billionaires Took Over America
Yes, Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. But the far bigger menace is the monstrous growth in wealth concentration over five decades that made a Trump presidency possible—and maybe inevitable. Here’s how we let it happen.

Is there a cause-and-effect relationship between the Israeli/Gaza conflict and America? Attacks on Jewish people appear to be motivated by the devastation in Gaza. Perhaps bringing an end to this conflict would reduce the random attacks on American Jews.

We do not have a functioning government. I give up. It just gets worse and worse. Hoping Canada will accept me. America is no longer where I want to live. Incredibly sad.

This. This is why Trump has to go. No respect for humanity. A grifter who will sell his soul for flattery and a gift.

Kari Lake Accosted Ruben Gallego at a Posh D.C. Club
The incident says a lot about politics and immigration. So, too, did a town hall that Gallego held with Sen. Mark Kelly over the weekend.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Last night, the Trump administration kicked out HuffPost White House correspondent S.V. Date from the press pool that covers the president. This came after Date assertively asked President Donald Trump questions that he apparently did not want to answer — defensive response from the president.

Yosemite National Park’s annual budget is around $30 million. About $25 million was blown just so Rtump could attend the Super Bowl and Daytona 500. Instead of shutting down the parks, just sit him in front of a TV.
