"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures.

...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

The wealthiest 1% in the U.S. now hold a record $49.2 trillion — enough to buy 99% of all homes in the country without debt.

While real estate boosts their fortunes, millions struggle to afford just one small home. The gap keeps growing.

The best thing that can be said about Trump's first nine months in charge of the federal government is that the deficit didn't get worse.

After all those DOGE cuts, federal spending still increased by $300 billion

For the fiscal year that ended on September 30, the federal government spent more than $7 trillion and ran a $1.8 trillion deficit.

Good night, Johnson! You don't have a clue WHY people's faith in the government is so low? Look around: GOP in power, GOP doing significant harm to US, GOP consistently doesn't care. Need more comments, Johnson?

We need people like Mr. Mandan in politics. New Yorkers need to look past the smear campaign and the weaponization of the label “anti semitic” for any legitimate criticism of Israel.

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
