It's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract.
10% of Americans own two-thirds of the wealth. Wages have stagnated. The cost of living has skyrocketed.
The system is fundamentally broken.
The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code were written for a different set of Americans.
It’s time for an economic reset.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
Ken Paxton says he often doesn’t want to be in Texas and prefers spending time in California, where he grew up, instead:
“I like places in California, even though I don’t like to admit that I go to California, but it’s beautiful.”
Why is @KenPaxtonTX so afraid of releasing all the files for Adam Hoffmans case? I
Why was Adam Hoffman required to be listed on the sex offenders list in Nebraska but not Texas where the sexual assault of a MINOR happened?

Yesterday’s abrupt retirement announcement by Gen. Chris Donahue, the Commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF) and NATO’s Allied Land Command, was made at the request of the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, people familiar with the matter tell The Wall Street Journal.
Prior to this announcement, many believed Donahue was on a fast track to become Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, having led the Army’s Delta Force commandos in Iraq and Syria when it took the fight to Islamic State militants and was the “last man out” when the troops he commanded at the 82nd Airborne Division were called in to secure the 2021 evacuation of U.S. personnel and Afghan allies from Kabul, Afghanistan.
General Donahue’s removal is said to be part of an ongoing push by Hegseth to put his imprint on the military’s leadership, while squeezing out officers with track records of battlefield valor and command experience in favor of less accomplished political loyalists, officers that fully support both himself and President Trump.
Seems to me Trump should be questioned and pressured on why his supposedly pro- “war fighter” Sec Def is purging an accomplished and respected war fighter. The commander in chief can overrule a secretary of defense. It may not work, but upping the political and internal consequences of this crap for Hegseth would be a net good thing.
General Chris Donahue has spent his career leading from the front, earning the respect of Soldiers, Allies, and senior leaders across the Joint Force. Secretary Hegseth’s decision to force him out says far more about Hegseth than it does about General Donahue.
This is yet another unforced error from a Secretary leading the Pentagon with bro-culture bravado rather than restraint, humility and careful stewardship of the finest fighting force in the world.
Strong leaders are not threatened by accomplished commanders. Weak ones are. His paranoid micromanagement of senior military leaders and promotion lists is pure insecurity dressed up as reform. He is more interested in purging people he perceives as insufficiently loyal than empowering proven patriots who can actually lead.
This is not reinvigorating the warrior ethos. This is not a leader prioritizing merit. It’s sophomoric. It’s unserious. And it’s bringing great harm to our Department of Defense. Our military deserves steady, serious civilian leadership. Right now, it’s getting the opposite.
