The 500 biggest companies have spent $5.3 trillion on stock buybacks over the last decade.

84% of those proceeds went to the richest 10%, with CEOs being the biggest beneficiaries.

Just FYI for the next time you hear "we can't afford to give workers raises."

So, Sen. Joe Manchin is going to blow up the Biden agenda to keep huge corporations (many currently paying ZERO dollars) from paying their fair share in taxes?

Man in Alabama had cardiac issues. Should have lived. The unvaccinated were taking up all the hospital beds. 43 hospitals turned him away. He had to be sent 200 miles away. He died in transit. This is how the unvaccinated are killing the vaccinated. https://t.co/VhOFh9Y9JY

Feeding tubes are not as benign as traditionally thought.
We often think they come at no cost but there is a cost to patient & system…which is an unfortunate thing to endure if you never actually needed it.
This is why many have moved away from routine feeding J-tubes #tssmn

BREAKING: This morning @propublica has what I consider the most important story we have ever published.
It concerns a trove of secret IRS files we were given on the tax returns of the nation’s richest people. The findings are extraordinary.

On June 4, 2007 a University of Michigan Transplant Team took to the skies on a Survival Flight mission to save a life. They did not return. May their lives & deeds remembered here reaffirm our commitment to cherish life, to care for the ill & injured, & to serve the common good

[Michigan Medicine @umichmedicine]

14 years ago today, six members of our team were returning from a transplant mission when their Survival Flight plane crashed over Lake Michigan. The memorial at our hospital honors their sacrifice and commitment to patient care. We are forever grateful. https://t.co/G2WdUTMLeD
