The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year. 12 people. $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

Very much so. 🙄

Let’s keep this in mind, devout Christian Speaker Johnson tried to keep the house from releasing this report because he wanted Gaetz to be attorney general. Typical

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

Trump just appointed Jared Kushner’s father, who he pardoned in 2020, as US Ambassador to France. Alrighty then. I guess this means we wont hear a peep out of Trumpers, if Joe Biden pardons or commutes the sentence of his own damn son. #MAFA Make American Felons Ambassadors

If you want a microcosm of the horror coming to the Americans who are the backbone of this nation (if their names happen to be Hispanic and they were brought here as infants or even born here) the @nytimes puts all the poisons on the table: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/u...

It’s a service, not a business. It’s not supposed to make a profit. And ending it would screw over red state rural areas the most. Hell, even private delivery services like UPS often rely on the post office to carry out the final leg of some deliveries there.

Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give... -The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut -The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut -The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut -The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut Some populist, huh?

It’s amazing that everyone knows so much about Luigi Mangioni, but couldn’t be bothered to understand the definition or effects of tariffs on the economy and their wallets before the election?

Bill Clinton: "People are losing faith in the institutions and in many many places, they're gonna reward the people that destroyed their faith."

I keep thinking about those paycheck to paycheck “price of eggs” Trump voters who picked a billionaire to appoint other billionaires who are going to make their food less safe & more costly, their medication harder to get, their overtime nonexistent and their healthcare coverage a thing of the past.

You can hate on “Baby it’s Cold Outside” all you want but my least favorite is “Rudolf.” It’s about an atypical being rejected by his peers until he is deemed a useful commodity by an authority figure and then lauded. Fuck you, reindeer.
