Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

While you were so worried Socialism would take away your freedoms… Capitalism stole your pension, took your savings, sent your jobs overseas, robbed you of health care, dismantled the educational system, & put you in debt… Stop listening to a con man criminal fool, and things will get better. 😎🇺🇸✨

He’s Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed, why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy up major media, and why our government shouldn’t give them huge military contracts.

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

We are being robbed. Of our homes, our healthcare, our retirements, our recreation, our very futures. They lay off 1,000s and use the saving to buy back stocks. Aren't you tired of these thieves taking money out of your pockets?

Chanting USA while a man beats a woman in the face at a Trump rally is the absolute description of the shithole our country has become… Sad. 😎✨

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

Is this legal? Also, she's wearing stupid shoes for this kind of activity.

Harris County TX. He's hospitalized: "ICE claimed the man ran in front of the agents' vehicle and was struck. However, the surveillance video appears to show the SUV veering left through empty parking spaces before running the man over..." abc7.com/story/ice-ru...

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

😩😩😩

Of course the Trump Savings Accounts for kids turns out to be scam. In effect, "our president is helping rich donors offload overvalued stocks onto children, who are forced to hold the stocks for five years whether they want to or not." www.rawstory.com/trump-accoun...

If you have to constantly explain what the president meant when he says something stupid, you should probably try a president who doesn’t constantly say stupid things

Justice Alito is confusing court reform with attacking the court. Many of us simply want the Court to be better. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

I’m so tired. The mfers. They can’t even see they are the baddies.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

As hard as it is to believe, that is the actual position of the so-called law and order party.

Finally, a member of this adminsitration that tells the truth.

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

They (GOP) know this to be true and it will always be true.

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

The fact that Trump, his party, and the Republican Congress are historically unpopular and yet we still can’t be sure Democrats will win in November tells you everything about how broken both our electoral system and our political system are.

wow, you're telling me a ton of senators and congressmen have been funneling bribes into their personal pacs for years? it's almost like the dissenting opinion in citizens united was right, and that opening the door to super pacs has undermined the integrity of elections! Post: InteractInk.com

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

Holy hell. Right out of a super villain origin story. Musk is reverse bat man.

If only there were a law that said: "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned" We could call it 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting

This is what every Dem debater should ask of their opponent for the next few months. So many Americans are begging to be scammed. “Scam me please, sir!”

Sorry to be dumbly credulous, but if the GOP wanted to give everybody 5K, why wait until after the elections? Why not do it now while they have complete control of government?

HOW DO SO MANY PEOPLE NOT SEE THIS GUY FOR WHAT HE IS?!?

This.

“Democracy”, American-style. 😡 One man gets to spend tens of millions of dollars promoting his reactionary ideas, while you and I get to donate $20 or $50 to candidates promoting progressive policies.

The old frog in slowly boiling water. We don’t even notice how desensitized we’ve become. 15 years ago this dominates news for a month. Now it’s barely a minute.

this weekend an armed man stormed into a tent where the Democratic candidate for the governor of Ohio was speaking he shoved people down to get closer, was stopped by security he had two guns and a taser it was in the news for like six hours that's the country the US has become

The school I work at can’t even afford to fix its leaky ceiling but we got 4 million available for 30 seconds of war. Fuck them.

This is what happens when industry controls government. We all get scammed.

Who does nazi a problem with this?

Disappearing middle - good for dieting, bad for economies.

Scripture historically has always been understood to be metaphor and allegory- but this modern push to declare there was an actual, physical, Garden of Eden is dumb. Driven by power and control.

The bar is so low.
