We are not a monarchy. We are a constitutional democracy.

Let the world hear loud and clear today: America will never have a king.

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.

The system is broken.

We’re one step closer to releasing the Epstein files thanks to the election that sent Adelita Grijalva to Congress. But Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in. An obstruction of justice & democracy. Join us in demanding he swear her in and release the Epstein files: MoveOn.org/ReleaseEpsteinFiles

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.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

Truly deserving. If President chaos/anything but peace wins this prize it will would then be considered garbage.
