So sad to see people like Mitch O'Connell - at 84 years old with health issues it seems that the money and the power is just more important to him than spending the remainder of his life with his family and enjoying himself with whatever would make him happy outside of work.

Just got off the phone with my college roommate.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.

He told me he’s not the same person anymore.

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.

One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.

And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.

I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.

I really don’t.

Have you looked up what our @NASAHubble telescope saw on your birthday?

Our popular page has a new look — and now, you can use it to find five stellar sights that Hubble was observing on whatever day you choose. Check it out: https://t.co/zV0oN7h5vs

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Republicans in Congress handed out over $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% — and they slashed over $1 trillion from health care and food assistance.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is the single largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in one law in American history.

How sad it is that the President of the United States feels that affordable housing for all Americans is "a yawn".

It’s hard to believe, but here we are.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

Remember when a kid got years in North Korean prison for stealing a poster and everyone was like “what a terrifying country!” and now Americans are facing years in prison for touching floating paint chips...??

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Taking a floating paint chip out of the Reflecting Pool is vandalism.

Smearing shit on the walls of the Capitol is patriotism.

Got it.

[Covie @covie_93]

So Zelensky desecrated the White House by not wearing a suit but this is ok?????

[Covie @covie_93]

Can we just step back and realize how messed up it is to put your name on someone's memorial in the first place???

[Maureen A. Reynolds @MaureenAReynold]

@Primewave96 What the hell did that guy do to him???

[Maureen A. Reynolds @MaureenAReynold]

@Primewave96 It SHOULD remind everyone how absolutely cruel it is to race horses for money and entertainment.

Elon Musk Wealth
2012: $2 billion
2026: $1.1 trillion

Jeff Bezos Wealth
2012: $18.4 billion
2026: $262 billion

Mark Zuckerberg Wealth
2012: $17.5 billion
2026: $202 billion

Tipped Minimum Wage
1991: $2.13 an hour
2026: $2.13 an hour

5 words: Tax oligarchs out of existence.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.

Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.

[Jenni @hashjenni]

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

[Travis Akers 🇺🇸 @travisakers]

Elon Musk: Trillionaire

Jeff Bezos: Billionaire

Public School Teachers: Can anyone help me get some pencils for my students?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

More than half of the publicly identified donors to Trump’s golden ballroom have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion.

Corruption at its finest.

[Meacham @MeachamDr]

It’s like a meth family moved in….

@ScottPresler OH! You have met God???
