Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."
"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.
So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.
People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?
He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!
When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.
He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

Families shouldn’t pay the price for out-of-control corporate greed. I’ve been calling for answers from big egg producers, and I’ve got a bill that would tackle price gouging head-on.

Why are the American people angry? Maybe it has something to do with the largest producer of eggs in America increasing its profits by 718% last quarter after doubling the price of eggs and reporting ZERO cases of avian flu. We must break up big Ag & enact a windfall profits tax.
Dear @POTUS. I’m a social worker. I left graduate school 20 yrs ago with over $52,000 in student loans. I’ve made every payment since and still owe $42,000. It’s almost all gone to interest…I’ve paid $48,000 but still owe $42,000😩☠️ 😭🤦🏻♀️ #CancelStudentDebt@DebtCrisisOrg

Can’t believe we even have to say this, but: if you just went to the Senate floor and blocked benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving our country in a war zone, you are wrong.
Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what meds you can take, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can do with your uterus, what gender you are & who you can love… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”.
Idiots.
Do you really believe that we would have FEWER gun-related deaths if we just had MORE guns on our streets?
The U.S. already has nearly HALF of the privately-owned guns in the world--and, not surprisingly, exponentially more gun-related death than other, industrialized countries.
Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican, testifies about a phone call from Rudy Giuliani and the former President after the 2020 election.
Trump never provided evidence to back up his claims of voter fraud.
Ok—suspend reality and believe you would actually read a bill. The bill is 80 pages & ~13,000 words. The average 5th grader reads ~180 words per min. This means a 5th grader could read this bill in just over an hour. You had that for this vote & 30 hours until the actual vote.
President Biden just cited an 8% tax rate for the 900 billionaires in America.
Republicans refuse to raise their tax rate.
Yet another reason to vote for Democrats.
