The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 40 years has shifted $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. That’s $50 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of working Americans.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Paris is working to become a '15-minute city' where everything you need is located locally within 15 mins. Every street will have a bike lane, 60,000 parking spots are being removed & replaced with parks. They aren't done yet.

We have the solutions implement them.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system.

In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%.

Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Please watch. Biden is rolling back the Reagan revolution, and many people can’t see the whole picture. This is a good primer:

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.

Protect people and the planet.

Marie Curie (1867 - 1934) was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win twice, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences: Physics and Chemistry.

She was not permitted to attend college because she was a woman, so she did it illegally, going to what was known as the Flying University, a secret Polish institution of higher learning that accepted female students at the time.

Marie shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre. He refused to accept the prize if they didn't recognize his wife's contributions.

Their first daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie, went on to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 for the discovery of artificial radioactivity. Their second daughter Ève Curie worked for UNICEF during the time the organization was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965.

Their grandchildren, Hélène Langevin-Joliot and Pierre Joliot-Curie, are both high-profile, renowned scientists.

BREAKING: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is asked directly to his face about the corrupt $2 billion "investment" that Saudi Arabia pumped into Jared Kushner's firm after Trump left office — and his response is an absolute disaster.

The prince sat down for an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier asked him directly about the money, which was clearly payback for the huge favors Kushner did for the Saudis while he was in the White House.

Not only did the Trump administration give massive weapons deals to Saudi Arabia, they ignored the kingdom's brutal murder and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

"In the Trump administration, you had a really close relationship with the president's senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner," said Baier. "After he left, Saudi fund made reportedly a two billion dollar investment in Jared's new fund he was launching and managing."

"Do you think that sends the wrong message even if there wasn't a tit for tat, an 'I'll give you this and you get that'?" asked Baier.

"We look to opportunities and investment," said bin Salman. "We have a lot of investment around the globe with a lot of peoples and with economic opportunity."

"So if Trump becomes president again you'll leave the two billion with Jared Kushner?" asked Baier.

"It's a commitment that PIF [Public Investment Fund, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia] have and when PIF have commitment with any investor around the globe, they keep it," said the prince.

In other words, if Donald Trump wins reelection the Saudis will be able to directly exploit the massive sum of money they gave to his son-in-law to influence American foreign policy — even more than the already have.

"Would it affect your decisions with a new Trump administration with that sitting there?" asked Baier.

"Well... Saudi Arabia is so big so I'm quite sure mostly any person around the world directly or indirectly you have something to do with Saudi Arabia," said bin Salman.

"So if that can affect President Trump's decision if he becomes a president that mean it can affect every president in the world and every person in the world's decision because directly or indirectly they have some sort of interest or something to do with Saudi Arabia," the prince added.

In other words, Saudi economic corruption is a powerful global force that affects more than just Donald Trump and Jared Kushner.

Crucially, bin Salman did NOT deny the fact that he influences both men.

A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to give Saudi Arabia total control over the U.S. government and its military.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you demand a full investigation into Jared Kushner — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

Six out of the eight people on that stage committed themselves to supporting a potential felon if he were the nominee. This was a defining moment: it's now mainstream for the GOP to openly support criminality.
