The top 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.

🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 I’d like to see Trump last one week of what Zelensky has endured for three long years. Despicable bullying of a man who deserves nothing but respect. Shameful thuggery. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

The GOP has their SMALLEST majority since 1932! There's 2 special elections happening RIGHT NOW and if they go blue, power in the house shifts! President Musk and VP Trump are scared, let's pitch in $5, $10, or whatever you can to send a message! Let's go! secure.actblue.com/donate/speci...

Evidence just keeps piling up - there is no solution to make housing in Boston more affordable without buildings so more. Austin leads the nation in home building and rents are plummeting. Boston has among the lowest rates of permitting & highest costs. Do the math. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.” But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children. If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.
