Why don't people wash their asses? Just toilet paper? Sorry, what?

You'll appreciate it. I promise.

THE INSANELY RIGGED ECONOMY

Yesterday, while tens of millions of families were struggling to pay for rent, food, healthcare, childcare and gas, seven of Trump's oligarchic friends became $210 billion richer. Not last week. Not over the past decade. In less than 24 hours, these 7 men, the wealthiest people on earth, became $210 billion richer.

Incredibly, since Trump was elected on November 5, 2024, these 7 men, all Big Tech Oligarchs, have become more than $1.5 trillion richer and are now collectively worth over $2.8 trillion. Meanwhile, we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any other wealthy nation, young adults have a lower standard of living than their parents and over 20% of our seniors are trying to survive on an annual income of $15,000 a year or less.

Yes. We are living in an oligarchy.

A Good Day for Trump’s Friends:

Yesterday, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, got $164.8 billion richer and is now worth $1.4 trillion. He’s worth $1.1 trillion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Larry Page, the second wealthiest man in the world, gained $7.61 billion in wealth and is now worth $314 billion. He’s worth $161 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Sergey Brin, the third richest man in the world, got $7.01 billion richer and is now worth $292 billion. He’s worth $148 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Jeff Bezos, the fourth richest man in the world, gained $6.96 billion in wealth and is now worth $267 billion. He’s worth $46 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Larry Ellison, the fifth wealthiest man in the world, gained $8.92 billion in wealth and is now worth $247 billion. He’s worth $63 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Michael Dell, the sixth richest man in the world, got $5.86 billion richer and is now worth $218 billion. He’s worth $101 billion more than on Election Day.

Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg, the seventh richest man in the world, gained $9.16 billion in wealth and is now worth $211 billion. He’s worth $8 billion more than on Election Day.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best: “Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God’s children.”

Jan 6: Trump buys Eli Lilly stock. Praises GLP-1s on TV.

Feb 10: Trump buys up to $5M in Dell. Encourages people to “buy Dell.”

March: Trump buys Micron stock. Calls Micron "one of the hottest companies.”

Those are just 3 of the 3,000+ trades Trump made.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends.

He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission.

Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

As gravity distorts our view…

This simulation shows how the extreme gravity of two orbiting black holes bends and redirects light emanating from the chaotic hot gas surrounding each one. As they pass in front of one another, light weaves through the fabric of space and time.

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.

Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.

When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.

My two opponents: a congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and a coach who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile.

Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved.

The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

The damage from a reactionary Supreme Court:

Citizens United allows billionaires to buy elections.

Ending Roe v. Wade takes away a woman's right to control her body.

Louisiana v. Callais strips voting rights away from Black Americans.

Our rights are under attack. FIGHT BACK.

Start your week with some new photos from Artemis II!

Though our journey around the Moon has ended, we're still retrieving plenty of new images. Keep an eye on our Artemis II multimedia gallery for image highlights from the mission: https://t.co/XInWMJwMYY

The ordering of visual elements according to their importance level. The engineering behind the trick is basically information hierarchy used by newspapers and magazines.

Yes, the war in Gaza is a genocide.

Why are there 20+ coaches on an NFL team? And people act like it's only the government full of bloat.
