The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.
Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

How would you explain division? There are two ways we can think about division and understanding these models can help with fraction division.

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.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.
It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.
This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

This Labor Day, we’re not just honoring workers—we’re demanding the essentials for a better life: fair pay, affordable healthcare, fully funded public schools and a democracy where every voice is heard and every vote counts.

The #BigUglyBill made deep cuts to healthcare across the country - cutting people off from their coverage & putting community hospitals at risk of closing. This $50B infusion isn't going to cover even half of the cuts or fix the problems Trump created. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
This $50 billion band-aid won’t save rural health care
It is just a fraction of the money these facilities will lose thanks to massive Medicaid cuts.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
