The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

What many don't realize, is that Ukrainian strikes from last 2 years on russian refineries are always aiming at specific part of refinery.

Cracking Units.

This basically stops Russia from ability to refine crude into useful fuels.

This is why Russian issue of lack of fuels is snowballing.

We can't settle for Republicans’ promise of later negotiations. Because every time this Administration says something, they go back on their word.

If Republicans need Democratic votes, they need to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for the American people.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

When Donald Trump starts imprisoning his political enemies for nothing at all, or simply because he doesn't like them, the American people will stand by and do nothing during that too.

America is a nation of cowards and idiots.

And yes, Americans stood by and let it happen. Americans allowed torture, kidnapping, surveillance, and the murder of more than 1 million Iraqi civilians during W. Bush & Cheney. They allowed Obama's drone strike wars, and Trumps pivot of anti-terrorist tactics onto the American people.

and in some cases refused to acknowledge they were in custody or straight up lied about it. Just like they're doing today. The 1st Trump administration was the test run for the 2nd one, and the two George W. Bush administrations were the test runs for what Trump does now.

Trump had armed, masked, anonymous secret police kidnapping people off of the streets of Portland during his first administration. They would be shoved into unmarked vans, disappeared without charges, and the administration would refuse to identify them, say where they were,...

I'm hearing multiple reports that veterans are being denied the Covid vaccine at the VA. A friend who is a provider at the VA confirmed they aren't allowed to give vets the vaccine.

Does anyone have any more info on this? RFK Jr's vaccine denialism is going to kill our vets.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.

A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."
