Minn AG Keith Ellison on my show explains that The head of massive fraud ring in Minnesota was NOT a Somali American as Trump claims. Rather a white woman named Aimee Bock was convicted as being the mastermind. But Trump spewed this lie to give his base some racist red meat.

Accepting the rule of law means you go to the trouble of arresting & prosecuting based on evidence, recognising that some will evade justice. Once you decide it’s easier just to murder suspects you undercut a key premise of Western civilisation.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Per Emmanuel Saez at UC Berkeley, a leading economist who studies income inequality:
Top 1% families captured 49% of total real income growth per family from 2009-2017 according to his analysis of IRS data. I don't have the data, but they've prob accelerated this since the pandemic.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

When I learned about WWII as a kid I wondered how people could be so void of empathy & humanity to do what they did to millions of innocent people.
It didn't start as concentration or death camps. It began as "they don't belong here" with gov propaganda to normalize stripping people of citizenship.
