Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

NEW EPISODE: Cory Booker and I discuss the real and growing threats to American democracy. He warns that rising costs, collapsing trust in institutions, authoritarian abuses of power, and the politics of cruelty are driving cynicism and disengagement.

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs.
So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

“Conservatives would never accept a left-wing government using regulatory favoritism to pressure conservative media”—but now that this is occurring at CBS, they offer “pointillistic defenses” of Bari Weiss spiking a “60 Minutes” story, @jonathanchait argues.
Stop Defending Bari Weiss
It is impossible to take her actions at face value given the context in which she is operating.

Trump is banning fact-checkers--yes, those people who do the research to learn the truth--from entering the USA.
When Trump says he supports free speech, what he means is supports his right to lie. Those who tell the truth are therefore his natural enemies.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Many survivors came forward, and we began comparing notes and working with people in Congress.
As we started connecting the dots, we realized that some of us were sent to the same person in Hollywood for movie auditions. Some of us went to the same modeling agency…

Mr Cuban,
I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.
