Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable.
We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

Me and my old rival Mitt Romney finally agree on something — it's time to close the loophole that lets the ultra-wealthy use death to cheat taxes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3tyoOaGFRE

Talarico is right.
REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The biggest ‘welfare queens’ in 🇺🇸 are corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes, and CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet — not hungry kids, or working parents who work multiple jobs.”

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Yeah, "radicalized" as in the kind of meeting that takes place in the Situation Room where he was likely threatened into doing the administration's dirty work. The shooting created a fake crisis to justify ignoring the court's order to remove the national guard.
“Investigators think the former CIA asset accused of shooting two National Guard members near the White House had been “radicalized” since arriving in the United States, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday without offering evidence.”

Noem says National Guard shooting suspect was 'radicalized' in the U.S.
The Homeland Security secretary did not offer evidence to support that. Nor would she say why her department had granted the former CIA asset asylum earlier this year.

HAPPENING NOW IN FRANKLIN: Republican #TN7 nominee Matt Van Epps has moved his event from Puckett’s to the gated mansion estate of a right wing billionaire. Police are outside and told us it’s a closed door event.
Seems to say a lot about who Matt plans to represent.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?
