In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process.
Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

In America last year, nearly 40 million workers made less than $17 an hour. Unacceptable.
Nobody in America can make it on $7.25 an hour, $9 an hour or $12 an hour.
We need an economy in which all of our workers earn a living wage.

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed.
Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.

Firing NSA Director Tim Haugh in the midst of escalating global cyber threats is more than a personnel shift — it’s a self-inflicted wound to national resilience. The U.S. trades operational continuity and strategic foresight for chaos and political spectacle.

Yes, prices will skyrocket.
Yes, business will go bankrupt.
Yes, stocks will crash.
Yes, unemployment will rise.
But if we hold on, the tariffs will be worth it. If fully implemented we can finally achieve the true American dream: rich people not having to pay ANY taxes.

Last night, every Senate Democrat voted for my amendment calling for a $17 an hour federal minimum wage while every Republican but 1 opposed it. The movement to raise the minimum wage to a living wage is growing.

Apple down $311B, Meta $133B, Amazon $187B — a casual $631B vanished after the latest tariff tantrum. Turns out markets don’t respond well to economic policy written in crayon. Meanwhile, Trump is busy taxing the penguins.
