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.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Maine’s members of Congress called on President Donald Trump on Tuesday to comply with a Supreme Court court order to facilitate the return of a man who was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison. Sen. Angus King said Trump’s refusal to do so “should strike fear and outrage in every American.”

So the great negotiator can’t get bukele to come to terms over one improperly deported person, who was under the protection of our courts but given no due process? What a weak negotiator!

😢 Zelensky: Sumy. The world must respond firmly. The US, Europe, everyone in the world who wants this war and these killings to end. Russia wants exactly this kind of terror and is dragging this war out. Without pressure on Russia, peace is impossible.

Trump administration goons moved migrants’ names into a Social Security death database which would have eliminated their ability to legally earn wages and, officials hoped, spur them to leave the country. This is illegal, immoral and fascist. Lock them all up including Trump.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

why is every newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

China just announced 84% tariffs on the US. There is no winner in a global trade war. This isn’t a negotiation, it’s an economic pissing contest that is going to ruin the economies of several nations if people don’t get their shit together.

In 1930, 6 months after the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were enacted by President Hoover, world trade decreased by SIXTY PERCENT (60%). Because of policies like the Smoot-Hawley tariffs contributing to the Great Depression in the 1930's, Hoover is considered one of our WORST president's. Sound familiar?
