As a practicing Catholic in WV (Maybe the only one on this platform) it was nice to hear, Leo our Pope and Evelio our Bishop at Mass today. Just brought a smile to my face on this beautiful 250th Independence Day.

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

These billionaires pay their workers so little that many of their workers need public assistance. Meanwhile, their companies just got another round of tax cuts from a bill that gutted the public assistance their workers have to rely on to get by. Trickle-down economics is a sham.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Somehow, all the programs that help the majority of Americans are decried as “wasteful spending,” but the ones that help billionaires aren’t… Funny how that works.

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering. Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law. Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Deception is the only tool that the right wing has.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.
