Gun laws keep people safe. This ruling by Trump’s Supreme Court will only endanger people.
If Justice Alito really thinks people need guns to go to the grocery store “for self-defense,” this country is truly broken.
So a 2-10% rise in net worth in one day...can someone teach Bernie how the stock market works real quick. Guessing he won't talk about their losses on days when the market dips.
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.”
I could care less what a career politician thinks about @elonmusk becoming a trillionaire, I would much rather have that money in the hands of someone creating great products and high paying jobs/careers versus the government losing it in the USAID couch cushions.
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE.
When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted.
The system is rigged.
🚨 New York Democrats just voted to erase "Mother" and "Father”.
Governor Kathy Hochul will be replacing "mother" with "gestating parent" and "father" with "non-gestating parent."
This isn't inclusion, it's insanity.
While New Yorkers battle sky-high taxes, crime, and failing schools, The state is obsessed with rewriting biology and the English language. Real parents don't need woke bureaucrats redefining them.
Reject this nonsense.
Any prediction markets where I can place a bet on there not being a single mail in ballot for @spencerpratt in any of those boxes coming from @GavinNewsom's storage unit?
NBC says the quiet part out loud
LA won’t have results tonight because tonz of mail-in ballots will be arriving over the next few days which will help the Democrats
This is how they cheat
Whoopi Goldberg’s comments reveal everything wrong with identity politics.
I didn’t marry my wife because she’s white.
She didn’t marry me because I’m Black.
We got married because we share the same values, the same faith, and the same vision for raising a family.
At no point did marrying a white woman make me less Black.
At no point did marrying a Black man make my wife less white.
What it made us was a family.
The people obsessed with race can’t understand that most Americans don’t choose friends, spouses, or family based on skin color. We choose them based on character, values, and love.
The civil rights movement wasn’t about putting race at the center of everything. It was about moving beyond it.
WTF? So seizures of Private Companies and wealth distributed by the government...what could go wrong?
We need term limits and age limits, these people are so out of touch with reality.
I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.
This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.
Cameron Kasky: "You don’t get to say the word illegals anymore."
Scott Jennings: "Who are you to tell me what I can and can't say? I've never met you, brother. I can say whatever I want. They're illegal aliens, and that's what the law calls them."
🚨 WOW! LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt just unleashed this MIC DROP
"The number one question everybody has for me when they hear my plan is, how can we do that Spencer? We don't have the money.' WE HAVE THE MONEY. IT'S JUST BEING STOLEN."
Elect this man! 🔥🔥
"You pay countless tax dollars. You're taxed on your income. You're taxed on your gas. You're taxed on your property. You're taxed out the every single expensive transaction you endure is taxed."
Potholes, public safety, homeless? "WE DO HAVE THE MONEY, IT'S JUST BEING STOLEN"
"Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have sunk billions of dollars into the homeless problem, but it's all being wasted on dubious NGOs that increase drug use, hand out needles, and crack pipes, and actually give drugs to the addicts on the streets of LA."
"A developer bought a property for homeless housing, had $11 million. Days later, the city paid him $27.3 million, a $16 million flip. No new carpets, no pool addition, just straight up fraud."
Politics aside, killing an animal like this just for fun is legitimately psychotic.
I understand deer and bison and stuff if you eat it, but sport hunting a beautiful cat like this signals major mental issues.
Karen Bass just violated election law here. She is so accustomed to breaking the law with no accountability, she even filmed herself doing it. Well, those days are over. We just filed a formal complaint for illegally gaming the election. We must protect our democracy.
Electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. Soliciting votes at a ballot box is AGAINST THE LAW. These clear violations show a reckless disregard for the rule of law and our democratic process. Someone in a position of power should be especially respectful of our democratic laws, but this is just emblematic of Karen's mafia-like regime. It's "rules for thee, but not for me".
Here is the formal complaint we filed this morning. We will uphold the rule of law and our democratic norms. Enjoy your conference calls with your lawyers, Karen!
My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem. I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery.
While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our nation's national security is her resignation.
She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more.
We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.
Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
Dahl: Yes
Murray: And the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%
Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.
What a dumb argument. The person making a million pays 12.4% on income up to 184k too.
And their SS benefits are basically the same in retirement.
You know who can change that...the lady asking the questions.
