The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result is demagoguery and corruption.

David Ellison appears to be mortified that CBS/60 Minutes is “going rogue” by covering the news and by keeping him “in the dark” about a segment critical of Trump.
Because Ellison doesn’t realize that’s how it’s supposed to work.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.
Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

WOLFERS: “When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.” #MedicareForAllNOW

MAGA Jews spent so much time conflating left wing criticism of Israel’s actions with antisemitism that they overlooked the significant danger that the MAGA coalition poses for Jews who live in America. What did they expect from a party that de-humanizes other minority groups?

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Zohran Mamdani took New York City by storm last night, with over 50 percent of the vote — despite a torrent of corporate money for Andrew Cuomo.

U.S. Steel. Nvidia. Intel. Westinghouse. By squeezing one company after another, Trump "is literally seizing the means of production," writes @jvl.bsky.social.
He's "a socialist...trying to make the American economy function more like Communist China." And all the while calling Mamdani a communist.

Donald Trump Is a Commie
Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
