Eddie inquired why they had ignored our screams. The response was on brand for the City. Apparently so many people scream at the top of their lungs at City Hall that it is generally ignored 11/

This is a big deal. A rate of three per cent might not sound high, but billionaires would have to pay it every year. As Saez says in the piece, it's not just a revenue raiser: it's an effort to tackle extreme concentration of wealth. https://t.co/kH7ODMSCOV

The new chair of the Antitrust Subcommittee, @davidcicilline, plans hearings, legislation, & lots of public engagement. "Maybe people don’t know all the words — monopsony, antitrust — but they know the system is rigged.” https://t.co/Uj8MgHkDsx

Here's what happened when a Republican senator challenged a Canadian doctor on their single-payer health care system.

And next, how about @JohnMessmer ?

Hey @jrosenbaum and @jmannies, what do you say we get @CoriBush on the politically speaking podcast?

Obama on Tuesday delivered a rebuke of the nationalist, right-wing brand of politics for which President Donald Trump has become the standard-bearer
