@CBSMornings Could he please pay tribute to his home and the Palisades Fire IN LOS ANGELES!!?? It's rather expensive for some of us to fly to New York to see his show about his home in LA ;)
Reclaiming America from Donald Trump won't be easy and it won't happen overnight.
But if we want to un-rig the political system and create an America that works for the many, we've got to think big.
Here are 10 ideas we must fight for.
When three people on top own more wealth than the bottom half of America …
When a handful of corporations control the economy …
When you get one vote but billionaires can spend hundreds of millions of dollars to elect the candidate of their choice …
That’s oligarchy.
So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.
But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.
Do I have this right?
I have spent a lot of time in Los Angeles.
It is an extraordinary, beautiful place.
Watching L.A. burn is extremely painful.
The footage is nothing short of apocalyptic.
I am deeply sad for the people of this wonderful city.
We need climate action NOW.
Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch.
@weeklyshowpod@HC_Richardson It would be a good idea to speak to a few historians in Hungary, maybe even to Peter Magyar, and to learn from Orban's strategies of dismantling democracy in that country for 14 years.
Rich people always manage to get the middle class and poor folks to blame other poor folks for all of our problems—while we’re all fighting each other, they’re getting richer.
Let’s not be so quick to crown Powell as some savior of democracy. His choice to delay cutting rates until so close to the election—with cut #2 right after the election—was a huge gift to Trump. High interest rates inflicted harms on voters, who expressed their pain at the polls.
Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
150 billionaire families spent $1.9B on the 2024 election through October.
It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth.
It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash.
We must get big money out of our politics.
Congratulations, @NewportBeach, on completing your new Junior Lifeguard Headquarters!
I helped secure a $5.2 million federal investment, which was approved by Congressional Democrats, to build the new facility—a testament to how Congress can help our communities thrive.
