The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.

Trump threatens & investigates his political opponents — Democrats & Republicans. He says, in violation of the Constitution, that he has “the right to do anything [he] wants.”
Is there one Republican who has the guts to stand up to this rapid movement toward authoritarianism?

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.
The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.
Something has gone terribly wrong.

WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.
Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance.
Nothing trickles down to workers.

Remember-- if Trump wanted transparency on Epstein, he wouldn't need to gather Vance, Bondi, Patel, Blanche and Wiles tonight to discuss strategy; he would simply release the files. This is what a coverup looks like.

The Voting Rights Act was signed into law 60 years ago today.
At least one of Texas’ congressional maps has violated the VRA in every decade since – including the state’s current map.
