The Pope is exactly right. No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the vast majority struggle to just survive — trying to put food on the table, pay rent and afford health care. We can and must do better.

Can't help but wonder if this is connected to Trump's desire to sell off @USPS to for-profit corporations. Voters trusted USPS to deliver/return more than 99 million ballots in '24. That capacity is one of many reasons people want to keep USPS public https://t.co/qD5QeQ9MKh

"If they pass this bill and kick 16 million people off health care, we will organize those people." - @RevDrBarber of @BRepairers at yesterday's rally against the big ugly bill, which the Senate just passed 51-50.

@SenSanders is pushing an amendment to axe the $211B estate tax break in the reconciliation bill. The amount the wealthy can inherit w/o paying tax is set to revert to $14M per couple this yr. The GOP bill wd hike the exemption to $30M, giving wealthy heirs a $6.4M tax break.

NEW: Bezos, like most billionaires, gets nearly all his money from investment profits — taxed at HALF the rate as income from work. Trump's bill preserves this perversity. IPS scholar @SarahDAnderson1 and Lauren Jacobs of @powerswitchact in @thenation:

The legislation contains massive giveaways to the oligarch class.
