Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Trump made everything more expensive, and now 22 million Americans are being told their ACA premiums will double.

While families choose between food and medical bills, Republicans are throwing parties for billionaires

They don’t care about you. They care about the ultra-rich.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

The misery embedded in this bill will immiserate millions for as far as the eye can see. Like the ACA, you really gotta pass it to see what’s in it. And it’s not going to have a 60% approval rating 16 years from now.

“The Trump administration will require millions of low-income people to reapply for food stamps…”

Handing out billions to himself and his friends like candy and raiding the treasury but now wants to squeeze the poorest among us.

“Re ‘There are a lot of people on your side who will be in the Epstein Files too!’: No there aren't, my side is the ‘People Who Don't Fuck Children’ side, anyone not on this side can get all the way into the bin, what side are YOU on, exactly?” — John Scalzi

Michael Wolff stood at the hinge of history. He could have stopped a predator. He could have exposed a liar and authoritarian before he reached the White House. Instead, he guarded their secrets. Survivors are paying the price. Our country is paying the price.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Robert Reich: "One of the unacknowledged silver linings of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between wealth and power. The intentions of the oligarchs are exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs."

He's right.
