813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Elon’s DOGE rampage will be a wake up call for what a decimated government really means. Cuts to FAA? Higher risk of plane crashes. Cuts to Forest Service? Higher fire risk. Cuts to the CDC? Higher pandemic risk. Cuts to the EPA? Higher toxic exposures risk — and on and on.

The CDC has stopped sharing data with WHO, meanwhile the U.S. is suffering from its most intense flu season in the last 15 years. This is reckless. Withdrawing from WHO has done nothing but undermine the health and safety of Americans.
