To be clear: Tech billionaires are openly discussing buying a primary election against @RoKhanna because he wants them to pay a one-time tax.
This is what an oligarchy looks like.
Khanna: Here’s what I don’t understand. I’m for taxing the billionaires more. In the 435 districts in America, no one has more billionaires than my district. If the guy who has all the billionaires can say, “Tax them more,” how is this a hard vote for the other 434 members? We need to tax the billionaires and the ultra-wealthy to provide Medicare for All, universal education, and fairness in America.
@TheDailyShow Most in the media refuse to acknowledge the root of the matter. Trump’s ‘flooding the zone’ strategy is designed to focus us on the trees & to ignore the forest.
Nobody should have any doubt about where the president stands now. He stands with Russia, Putin, the bullies & dictators. For Trump,
vulnerability=weakness, power=strength. Are all Republicans so afraid that they will not speak up even as the world & the US are at risk??
The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people just passed $2 trillion.
12 people. $2 trillion.
The bottom half of America collectively holds $3.5 trillion.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
@mikiebarb Who could have ever suspected that Jeff Bezos would exert his power of ownership in a presidential election??? Oh…that’s right… @BernieSanders did raise the issue during the 2020 election and was widely criticized for suggesting such a thing!
Again, I am remembering 2020 when the entire national press corps berated Bernie Sanders for suggesting that Jeff Bezos exerts influence over the Washington Post newsroom that he owns.
I'm now waiting for all the apologies to come in...waiting...still waiting...

That’s why @FTC launched an inquiry into PBMs. We've now released an interim staff report.

The media should be talking about this plan for a Trump presidency and contrast it with the Biden record and plans for the future. https://t.co/xt1Yb4iT7C
