Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire.
The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.
We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

You know the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)? Venerable research institution, respected worldwide?
Trump has put an oil executive in charge of it & changed its name to the "National Laboratory of the Rockies."
It's so embarrassing being American these days.

I believe there is no historic precedent of a dominant world power dismantling its own influence unilaterally. This is a colossal self destruction.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.
