Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

OMG: The signage behind Trump at his so-called affordability event today reads "LOWER PRICES" and "BIGGER PAYCHECKS"

Trump's strategy to counter his disastrous handling of the affordability crisis is to just...lie about it.

This is a gift to Democrats.

Nearly 40% of newly minted billionaires this year received their wealth through inheritance.

This is the highest figure since UBS started releasing its annual billionaire wealth report in 2015.

Another reminder that the myth of the "self-made" billionaire is just that, a myth.

Illinois, in the face of cruelty and intimidation, has chosen solidarity and support.

That should not be overlooked.

Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and Gregory Bovino tried to appeal to our lesser instincts — but the best of us are standing up to the worst of them.

The Mediocrity of MAGA

If you elect unqualified, corrupt, reckless people, don't be surprised if you win the world's worst prizes. For America, it's a terrible economy, endless scandals, and a white nationalist regime.

Why should we pay attention to red states?

Everybody in this country just lost access to student loan forgiveness because of the state of Missouri.

You don’t need a coup when you can bribe red state AGs.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"
