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

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

The only thing that’s been reduced 500 percent are his brain cells.

Tweet from Meidas_Charise Lee: “THIS IS THE COOLEST WAR ZONE EVER! Portland’s strategy… maybe if we act weird enough they’ll leave!”
Attached is a photo of people in colorful inflatable costumes dancing or moving playfully at night.
