The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Chris Murphy is a US senator…
We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.
But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.
Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

A baby in Alberta has died from measles. In 2025. A preventable disease. A vaccine could have saved their life - misinformation and negligence did not. This is not “personal choice.” This is tragedy.

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself.
Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations.
That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

Most people don’t know that that anyone can be one injury, fire, job loss, eviction or paycheck away from being unhoused.
If people don’t like houselessness, they should demand housing and a stable income for all!

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

They know — I know — that vaccines work, and have saved millions of lives.
We cannot allow Sec. Kennedy or anyone else to undermine faith in science and put the health of our children at risk.
