Democrats right to resist Trump transferring billionaires from ordinary Americans cutting Medicaid (and making health insurance unaffordable for millions) to fund massive tax cuts for billionaires! You could not make it up? Stealing from hardworking families to make the super rich even richer.

Putin continues his reign of terror against Ukraine confirming himself one of the world’s worst terrorists with Israel’s Netanyahu doing the same to Gaza. But why do we fail to call Putin and Netanyahu terrorists which by any definition is what they are ……!

There is something wrong with the United States when anyone can become as rich as Elon Musk when hardworking families are about to lose healthcare under Trump’s big bill to pay for tax cuts for Elon and his fellow billionaires. What is even more disgusting is Musk is not even ashamed of that

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
