Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

A tweet by Robert Reich reads:
“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.”

For those congratulating the war criminal Netanyahu & serial criminal Trump for "peace in the Middle East," neither one actually cares about peace. Netanyahu wants to stay out of prison & to do so he must have the distraction of this war. Trump wants to own Gaza & doesn't care how he gets it.

I posted about this yesterday & have still seen nothing from legacy media. I've seen no statement from Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. I've seen nothing from the self-congratulatory White House. People in Alaska are MISSING & houses have floated away!!

Mike lied…

“All hard work brings a profit,” says the Book of Proverbs, “but mere talk leads only to poverty.” When Mike Johnson told Americans that the Bible was “my worldview” shortly after he was first elected House speaker, he must have forgotten that passage.”

Opinion | Mike Johnson's plan to keep the House away from D.C. is backfiring

In recent months, the House speaker has kept the chamber closed to an unprecedented degree.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

Children deserve to feel safe at home & in school. This new bill I signed:

➡️ Bars childcare facilities & state preschools from collecting immigration info
➡️ Protects parents’ legal rights & kids’ security if separated
➡️ Ensures schools have safety plans in times of crisis
