If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

I’m excited to be joining Stephen Colbert tonight on “The Late Show.”

Back in 2013, I joined “The Colbert Report” to discuss how we build an economy that works for the many, not just the few.

American politics:

1. The GOP creates & rides anti-PoC agenda to enough wins to control the gov't

2. The GOP doesn't have any other policies so they double down on abusing the rights of PoC

3. Americans see the abuse, hate it, and turn on the GOP.

1. The GOP creates & rides anti-PoC agenda...

The self-appointed voice of the Maxwell/Epstein victims: Kevin O’Leary 😒
O’Leary: If any of you cared about the victims, you wouldn't drag these women back into the limelight… They don’t want you to help them anymore

Cross: How do you know that?

O’Leary: Don’t you think if it was you, you would rather get on with your life?

Cross: No, I would want justice pursued

The deployment of ICE, National Guard and Marines in LA—along with the prosecution of protesters—was never about public safety.

It was manufactured propaganda, and now ICE is being exposed for it.

Records show they lied in their testimonies and prosecutors are now facing “embarrassing” dismissals.

over 30 years ago, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. https://youtu.be/Bnd0eSuxu84?feature=shared

LONG THREAD

Across the country, states are dealing with losing COVID funding for programs. This was expected & scheduled to result in funding reductions for many state assistance programs. Now, while states wrestle with funding, the regime goes after "redundant" programs. Lets look at child care.

The Trump administration possesses large amounts of information about Epstein’s corrupt and depraved dealings with unidentified members of the global elite, and Trump and his top advisers—with active GOP acquiescence—are now all in on the elite cover up. https://trib.al/CPzfKjh

@raskin.house.gov: "The grand jury files relate ONLY to the prosecution of Epstein himself for what HE did and Maxwell for what SHE did, but it doesn't include the whole universe of other people that we're interested in... it's a complete distraction."

Attn: journalists, lawyers, and universities. You can respond to the GOP’s shakedown with collective action instead of immediately rolling over and playing dead.

Stop voting to sacrifice your own interests in favor of the super-wealthy. Progressive taxation seems to be working in the 4th largest economy in the world: California. (File under "Open Secrets the GOP Doesn’t Want You to Know.")
Gov. Gavin Newsom: “80% of Californians pay about average taxes. 40% of Californians pay lower taxes than they do in Texas and Florida. Texas and Florida tax their lowest wage earners more than we do our highest wage earners. So who’s the high tax state? Is it California or is it Texas?”

It wouldn't matter if the Epstein files were released
or if the Epstein films were shown-
not a single trump backer would change

This is a cult and this is their moment to gain power,
their coup

Let's hope we can vote in 2026 and 2028 .

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

ICE is about to get access to Medicaid records—a HIPAA violation.

Quick facts:
Undocumented immigrants don’t get full Medicaid. They only qualify for emergency care like childbirth or life-threatening treatment.

States like CA & NY offer limited coverage, but its’s state-funded, not federal.
