The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops. 📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

"people used to be so much tougher they didn't need vaccines/pasteurization/air conditioning" no idiot they just died

Pharmacy benefit managers have helped drive local pharmacies out of business and increased the costs of your prescriptions. I'm proud to say that's no longer the case here — we’re putting an end to their predatory practices. The nation should follow suit.

We have some good news in these dark times! Narcisso Barranco, the father of three U.S. Marines, has been released from an ICE detention center in Adelanto, California. I hope to see more releases and more families reunited. Small steps lead to great victories.🔥 Please pass it on. #OnYourSide

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

DOGE having access to Americans' Social Security data isn't just a major security breach. It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "waste and fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires another giant tax cut. Be warned.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, warned of "economic calamity" if Trump's tax cuts for the rich are not extended. But when asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25/hr, he said no. Economic populism.

It's no mistake that we find our country in this place that no longer values the importance of science, trusts experts and scholars, and eschews the idea that strengthening community to ensure everyone can prosper. The concept of common good has been slowly attacked over decades...

Calm it pigeons. You're not The Beastie Boys.

Scientists have published the first detailed analyses of the historic cache of lunar soil and rock that China retrieved from the far side of the moon this year, and they suggest that the moon may have some new stories to tell
