As we come to the end of a very difficult year I wanted to say a few words about *some* of the issues that, with your help, I will focus on next year.

At the top of my list:

- Campaign finance reform
- Income & wealth inequality 
- The rapid deployment of AI
- Medicare for All

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Congratulations to the people of Chandler, AZ, who — despite a fierce lobbying campaign — defeated a massive AI data center that would have raised utility bills and drained scarce water.

Oligarchs want working Americans to foot the bill while they profit. Not gonna happen!

Scientists recently combined the DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab.

Things went sideways real fast.

In the last 48 hours as you’ve watched the way that Donald Trump has spoken to women on camera for the world to see publicly, you can only imagine the way that he spoke to the victims behind closed doors

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

Hannity: When did you notice Biden’s cognitive decline?

Miller: I think it was through all of the times that Trump has fallen asleep in public and talked about magnets getting wet.

@sanders.senate.gov: "Even if by some miracle you got 60 votes, where do you think that amendment would go? Speaker Johnson has made it very clear that he's not going to entertain it. Trump would never sign it. So it is an empty gesture. It bothers me that people want to raise false hopes."

RFK Jr probably went to get a chainsaw

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care.

He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans.

Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry.

But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks.

Oligarchy in action.

Antifa on the way to work 1944

Dominion Voting Systems…the name you couldn’t escape after 2020…has quietly changed owners.
The buyer: Scott Leiendecker…a former Republican election official and founder of an election-tech company, through a new entity called Liberty Vote…

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.

Trump spent the weekend at Mar-a-Lago golfing while stock futures plummeted and our biggest trading partners planned retaliatory tariffs against the US and it was crickets from the Biden Delaware Watch Brigade.

That’s why I always was a fan. He did see through things most artists did not.
