Absolutely. When wealth and power are this concentrated, everything from healthcare to housing becomes a privilege instead of a right.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Imagine supporting a lifelong con man, sexual predator and 34x convicted felon that tried to deny a fair election and completely overturn democracy just to hold on to power… and then feel threatened when every day citizens legally protest peacefully to point out the corruption occurring.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

I just went to the No Kings website and counted 11 No Kings protests planned in Johnson's home state of Louisiana. Is he calling his constituents pro-Hamas?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
