What do you expect as an outcome when you hire a businessman to run an economy? Maximize profits for the shareholders (donors)not the employees (citizens).

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Imagine a family sues to stop a dangerous chemical plant expansion near their home. They’d be told: “Pay up first.” Even if they’re right, they can’t get the court’s help without cash. It’s a paywall on justice, shielding government overreach by pricing the public out of court.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Follow me if you will. Remember when a single income could provide for a family? Remember when we could fund a he interstate highway system? Remember when we could do something never done before like go to the moon? Remember when the top 0.1% didn’t have 14% of the total wealth of our nation?

Russia invaded Ukraine!!!! but because its skirt was too short is an interesting excuse from a guy with over a dozen credible accusations of sexual assault. Victim blame much?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.
