Trump has renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace after himself.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Everyone knows that our current health care system is broken.
That’s why over 60% of the American people support Medicare for All.
The day will come when every man, woman and child in this country will have health care as a human right.
We’re going to win this fight.

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not.
The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose?
Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming?
I doubt it.

Republicans admit their plan to double ACA premiums & throw 15M off health care is a disaster.
Trump’s “big idea” — a one-time check of AT MOST $6,500 — won't even cover cancer treatment or childbirth.
Health care is a human right. It's time to expand Medicare & cut drug prices.
