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.

Why do we remain in a vibration that allows children to be shot in school? Or allows inequity to exist? What can we each do that would lift us from the vibration that allows that? What can I do to be the change I want to see in the world? What do you do to achieve that end?

Speaking of October, it’s the perfect time to talk about the Epstein files. They contain the names of America’s most powerful, richest, and morally vile men. I am now certain that speaker Johnson is in there because why else would he make such an ass of himself to cover up the truth

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has indicated that he wants to do something about [ACA subsidies], and he wants the government open. Well, we want this fixed and we want the government open. So why is there a problem here?"

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

If you’re wondering why institutions and people keep failing us, it’s because of capitalism.

Every decision is tied to money.

Will the company lose profits? Will the non-profit lose donors? Will you lose your livelihood?

We choose money, because money is survival.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Trump believes that Biden ordered 274 FBI agents to mix with Jan 6 mob, who stormed the Capitol. He forgot that he was the president during that time. Someone needs to stop this demented fool because he is out of his fuck'n mind.
