Trump hired several corporate lobbyists — including Pam Bondi and Sean Duffy — to run his second administration. Now their former firms and clients — including Amazon and pipeline giant Enterprise Products — are lobbying their offices. "Drain the swamp."

This is what oligarchy is about. While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption. The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.
