While the billionaire class gets obscenely richer, two-thirds of Americans say a middle-class lifestyle is out of reach , and a majority can’t afford decent education, housing or a secure retirement.
In the richest country on Earth, we can, and must, do better.

It truly never ends the behavior of a sore loser in real time. FBI agents executed a search warrant at an election center in Fulton County, Georgia, marking a major escalation in the administration’s campaign against a jurisdiction Trump has obsessively targeted since losing the state in 2020.

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

No one is above the law! Federal prosecutors in Kansas have charged a man with making a death threat against Ilhan Omar on Facebook. Court filings say Adam Lee Osborn posted the threat using an alias and later admitted to writing it, describing the post as a way of “venting.

This is what oligarchy is about:
If you paid 1 penny in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than Tesla - a $1.3 trillion company owned by Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, who became $460 billion richer since Election Day after spending $290 million to elect Trump.

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress "have allowed a hugely profitable corporation to avoid paying even a dime of federal income tax on their 2025 US profits."
On $5.7 Billion in Revenue in 2025, How Much Will Elon Musk's Tesla Pay in Federal Income Tax? $0
Elon Musk's Tesla raked in billions in profits, yet paid $0 in federal income tax in 2025. How is this fair? While hardworking Americans foot the bill, Tesla enjoys massive tax breaks. The system is broken, and it's time for change. #TaxFairness #TeslaTaxScandal #CorporateGreed

No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.
