60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Wow - I knew cutting Medicaid is unpopular. I didn't know it is *this* unpopular.
There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.

Do you support increased public funding for backcountry search & rescue teams? 🚁🏕️

Why or why not?

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

We can't. We need answers.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market.

As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

"When the new tariffs come into contact with external reality, they are likely to produce the exact opposite of the intended outcome," Rogé Karma writes:
Trump’s Tariffs Are Designed to Backfire
Instead of leading to reduced trade barriers, the new global tariff plan is all but guaranteed to raise them.
