The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Incidentally this is one of the factors I highlight when explaining why the economy in the 1920s was inherently weak and easily broken by the crash.

If they haven’t “resolved the issue,” then they shouldn’t be using the shadow docket to overturn long-standing precedents.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 16h

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Trump charges the Secret Service — American taxpayers — millions of dollars so he can play golf at his properties while people who’ve spent their entire lives serving and sacrificing for our country are getting fired. One third of the federal workforce is made up of veterans.

Day 11 of the Republican Shutdown.

Donald Trump is back on the golf course.

You bet your life! Endurance? I'm not even TRYING to go around beating my wings 50 times *per second* anymore! And the part about their being a visit from a loved one makes me love them even more. They're beautiful little jewels of resilience.

This is the 'taxpayer money' myth literally costing lives
We are choosing to dismantle our public health defense—not because we lack the funds—but because we are paralyzed by the lie that the money isn't there. A sovereign government is pretending to be broke, & Americans will be the real casualties
