Trump has turned our government into a personal ATM — funneling public money, contracts, and favors to his billionaire friends while we pay the price. Congress must pass @reprashida.govpeeps.us resolution to end their handouts and invest in public needs. @theguardian.com : tinyurl.com/3dbfkany

She would be the best or nearly the best option for Minnesota #DFL Governor if we can get her to run. Easy, unifying win for a #NoFascists #NoOligarchy #HealthCareForAll #GreenNewDeal leader of #MNleg.

1 way to keep the Doomsday Clock from advancing further is to vote early & often by attending your local #DFL precinct caucus in 7.5 days, next Tuesday here in #SD51MN and every other district in Minnesota. We have a new #MNleg Senator to endorse & a new Governor. Being a delegate gives you a vote.
The Doomsday Clock now stands at 85 seconds to midnight—the closest it has ever been. When the New START treaty expires next week, there will be nothing stopping a new nuclear arms race. Trump and Putin could agree today to stick with New START limits. We can turn back the clock.

‘Brazen’ political influence of rich laid bare as wealth of billionaires reaches $18.3tn, says Oxfam
‘Brazen’ political influence of rich laid bare as wealth of billionaires reaches $18.3tn, says Oxfam
Governments opting for oligarchy while brutally repressing protests over austerity and lack of jobs, charity report says
The world saw a record number of billionaires created last year, with a collective wealth of $18.3tn (£13.7tn), while global efforts stalled in the fight against poverty and hunger.
Oxfam’s annual survey of global inequality has revealed that the number of billionaires surpassed 3,000 for the first time during 2025. Since 2020, their collective wealth grew by 81%, or $8.2tn, which the charity claims would be enough to eradicate global poverty 26 times over. Continue reading...
