The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.
The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.

In a time when information, study, and exploration are limitless, I’m through excusing supposed adults for not being able to make a decision that is based in reality, simply because they’re in some hateful, self-righteous, nationalistic bubble. That’s their fault, not ours.

This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one.

Trump spent $40B bailing out Argentina.
USAID *had* a budget of $30-35 Billion prior to the Trump administration eliminating them.
This does not even come close to the level of aid that we were providing to those who were starving and in desperate need around the world.

Biden left Trump the economy that was the ‘Envy of the World’, not just according the ‘The Economist’, but according to the numbers. If Trump had just left it alone he would have looked like a hero to MAGA. But no, tariffs, DOGE, ICE, and just overall destruction.
At first, Trump was going to fix inflation and prices “on day one.” Then it was, ‘Well, by the end of the year ...’ Now it’s maybe never. Because even though Republicans control the entire government, they can’t do anything, don’t cha know.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.
