The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

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

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Fun facts: Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, has won an Emmy, two Grammys, and his production company won an Oscar.

Trump has won 34 felony convictions as well as civil adjudications for rape and financial fraud. He is currently protecting rich and powerful pedophiles in the GOP.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

And the key word here is WEAK. Never before have we had such a weak, small person in the presidency.
Bullying & threatening are marks of weakness.
But the rest of the GOP "leadership" is weaker. Even more afraid of what is going to happen to THEM.
Completely impotent.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Two years ago, our reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social received an envelope with no return address.

Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams.

No one knows exactly what was on the Venezuelan boat that was struck by the US military, but the fact that the strike was okayed by the president’s son suggests that there was no cocaine aboard.

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. They deserve to be heard.

Today at 10:30 AM EST / 7:30 AM PST, they’re speaking live at a press conference. The system tried to bury the truth, but these voices are rising anyway.

Watch. Share. Don’t look away.

People who want to protect "The Sanctity of Marriage" are always people who voted for a man who raped his first wife, deserted his family of three young children to run off with one of his mistresses, deserted her and their child for another mistress, and then cheated on her with a porn actress. 🤔
