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.

We spend over $15,000 per capita on healthcare, twice that of other countries.

Yet 85 million people are uninsured or underinsured & 500,000 go bankrupt due to medical debt.

We must not make insurance & drug companies richer.

We must provide healthcare to ALL as a human right.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

Jeff Bezos cries and complains about paying taxes. Stephen Colbert gifted 2.5 million dollars to the world central kitchen to feed people. Fuck Jeff Bezos. We need more people like Colbert in this world.

[Staff Sergeant Gonell, Aquilino @SergeantAqGo]

They didn't want to award the Capitol Police a medal or a plaque but want to reward the people who orchestrated and took part in the violence that injured me and ended my career. In the name of national reconciliation, they pardoned the same rioters who attacked us and now being rewarded for the violence they inflicted on us the officers.

They are trying to make the lives of the rioters whole or better than before they assaulted us. Yet to the officers, no apology, no compensation, no acknowledgment of the bravery and sacrifice we made to protect “each of your representatives” regardless of what party they belong.

Why did we risk our lives for then?
What a betrayal this is to us and to the rule of law days after “police week”.

Donald Trump is the MOST CORRUPT president in American history, according to the Rolling Stone.

Do you agree?

correct 💯

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate.

Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd:

-Give $12K to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60K

And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

My Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act would make it illegal for a sitting president or VP to receive settlement payments from the federal government they control—or to direct those payments to a third party.

We CANNOT allow this abuse of power.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

How do we end the embarrassment of being the only major country not to guarantee healthcare to all as a human right?

The answer is not complicated.

We must elect candidates who are determined to pass Medicare for All.

Bottom line: The president should not be able to own and trade stocks. Or the vice president. Or members of Congress.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc
