Wherever we look, at every institution from government to religion to education, we are going to find corruption that needs to be held up to the light of accountability and change. The fight is just beginning
"When Congress passed the Smoot-Hawley tariff in 1930, we were told that it would protect America from foreign competition and save jobs in this country—the same line we hear today. The actual result was the Great Depression."
- Ronald Reagan, 1988
Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.
Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government?
That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.
Our 9/11 heroes did not sign up for DOGE to try to cut the 9/11 Survivor Health Program.
And it was all for DOGE to give tax breaks to the Republicans billionaires’ club.
I was proud to fight to make President Trump and DOGE reverse themselves. We won for our 9/11 heroes.
@DOGE good start but weak. We need $1 trillion slashed. Million here and there dont matter. It's like trying to buy a car for $20,000 and finding a few pennies under the couch.
This is a tragedy and showcases how poor training and rules of engagement results in civilian deaths and turns well intentioned police into murderers. Various twitter accounts saying the officer was attacked are just plain wrong if one watches the video.

⚠️Sonya Massey🚨
My Take⬇️
•Deputies were trying to help.
•She threatened them w/ a pot of boiling water.
•They should have just left.
•She threw the pot & deadly force was used.
*NOT 1st degree murder.

A Connecticut law allows towing companies to sell some cars after just 15 days, if they can convince the Department of Motor Vehicles that the vehicle is worth $1,500 or less.
So how many sales has the agency approved? It won’t tell us.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested, according to the country’s anti corruption agency, the latest chapter in a weekslong political showdown that began with the embattled president’s shock martial law decree last month. https://t.co/tm8AtlpjiU
Some of America's richest individuals paid all of their Social Security taxes yesterday for the entire year.
Most Americans will pay SS taxes all year long.
That's because in 2025, SS taxes are only applied to the first $176K earned.
This has put Social Security at risk.
I don't think I'll ever get over the anti immagrant crowd cheering for the guy from South africa who came here illegally, made a fortune through government subsidies then bought an election so he could take away their benefits.
In just the last decade alone, the world's billionaires have seen their combined wealth more than double to $14 trillion.
That's $14 trillion in the hands of just under 2,700 people.
Once again: It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of extreme wealth concentration to continue.
@Nature Medical personnel were begging for any masks and shielding themselves with garbage bags. There were not even enough for them, let alone majority of population.
@stuartpstevens GOP had control of all 3 branches of federal government and did absolutely nothing for border security but make it worse. Performative promises and no delivery on anything but tax breaks to wealthy.
