The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. Trump's economy.

Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and the country is now at risk of losing its disease-elimination status. Infectious disease experts say this is directly tied to Trump appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS. Are we great yet?

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

So cruel. So wrong.

Meme Monday #3 Playing now in America, "Fascism Returns"

Cartoon by David Horsey.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Oh we have to be careful to protect whistleblowers and such. Great point, Mike Johnson! But, I thought there was nothing to release because this was all a hoax. Oh and the investigation is complete anyway, right?

Let’s all photocopy the statement of the premium increase and mail to our Congresspeople. Show them the real impact. Include a list of the things you won’t or can’t buy to pay for the increase. Flood their mailboxes with the impact on real human voters

You just have to wonder, do elected Republicans EVER get tired of Trump threatening them the second they do something he disagrees with? Do they ever feel like soulless cowards when they remain silent while he does it to others? Is holding onto their office worth the debasement?

Release the Pedo Proof! Its much much worse and will be SO VILE there will be Before & After.

She said about 30 residential buildings were targeted, five people were taken to hospital, including a pregnant woman, and several children were hurt. “Now it is also Trump’s war. If he does not show strength, he will go down in history as a weak president...” Cruel and weak will be his legacy.

The corruption is strong with this regime.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

#ChuckSchumer Time for new leadership. Nancy would NEVER

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Everyone deserves food! Everyone deserves healthcare! Everyone deserves a home! Everyone deserves a living wage! Everyone deserves a quality education! No one deserves what Trump, his administration and Congressional Republicans are doing!

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink. I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

HAYES: “Let me be as clear as I can — Trump is arguing in court to let Americans go hungry so they don’t have to negotiate with Dems over stopping some of those same Americans health care costs from skyrocketing.”

💯💯💯💯

Every business saying they're offering people a meal and adding "let's not make this political" deserve their asses on platters on social media. It is 100000% political. ENTIRELY political. There is nothing not political about the withholding of food money from citizens.

"A top FBI official with 27 years standing has reportedly been fired by the bureau after its director...became enraged by press stories revealing he had used a government jet to travel to see his girlfriend sing the national anthem at a wrestling match." Accountability to anyone but the right one.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

welcome to America, where the idea that kids should have food gets you labeled some kind of communist

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

😭

Oh, so the new White Power House Ballroom is privately funded and not paid for by the taxpayers, so we need to stop worrying our little heads off about it. Got it. So, those big-ticket donors don’t want anything in exchange for their generous donations? Yeah, all the more reason to be concerned.

Sickening

Trump ordered Treasury employees not to share any more images of his demolition of The White House.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Unfortunately History is repeating itself

The GOP senators don’t work for the American people. They work for the oligarchs. They don’t care if we can’t afford groceries, healthcare, and housing. They are cruel, heartless cowards. Vote them all out.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

They are fake Christians. Jesus would throw them from the temple. They are against everything Jesus taught.

Every single No Kings protest, all 2,500+ of them across the country, made Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership look like lying sacks of shit for all the bullshit that spewed out of their mouths about it this week. Again. Not very Christian.

Peaceful protests around the world against tyranny. The maga crowd should take notice.

Wow, lots of American flags and peace . Sure doesn’t seem like people who hate America you absolute embarrassment Speaker Johnson

What do you think made America great? I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country. And I also know who truly hates America: • The KKK • 3 Percenters • Proud Boys 1/2
