America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Tonight, Donald Trump has appointed Gov Jeff Landry (R-LA) as the Reichsstatthalter for Greenland. He will split his time between Baton Rouge and Nuuk. Not the Onion.

This Administration is failing to comply with the law and fully release the Epstein files. The victims deserve justice, and those responsible deserve to be held accountable, but Trump is purposely standing in the way of all of it.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.
