Just to be super clear, those millions and millions of $ for Trump were bribes, not donations.

If your income was $274M per year, you’d make more than 99.9% of Americans. Elon Musk spent that buying the 2024 elections for Republicans. In the time it takes you to read this, he’ll make another $289,350 — which is more than 99% of Americans make per year. Tax the oligarchs

The IRS has used restored funding to crack down on rich tax cheats, upgrade customer service, and start a free file service. Billionaires, special interests, and their paid politicians have been chipping away at that funding since. Congress needs to step up and fund the IRS.

For years, Dems have raised the alarm about Rs slashing Social Security, and Rs denied it. Now @ElonMusk’s @DOGE is pitching massive cuts to Social Security at Trump's behest. While seniors struggle to make ends meet, the richest man on Earth wants to take money away from them.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Louis Brandeis
Billionaires in the U.S. are .0005% of the population, yet accounted for 18% of 2024 electoral spending. Just 150 billionaire families spent nearly $2 billion. This is not democracy. It is oligarchy. Time to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.

Before the election: Extreme MAGA Republicans lied to America about their connection to Project 2025. After the election: The people behind Project 2025 are given high level positions in the Trump administration. How dare you lecture the American people about anything.

Amazon and Walmart are the largest US companies by both revenue and number of employees. But 87% of jobs for Amazon and 91% for Walmart pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is worth $229B and the Walton family is worth roughly $270B. See the problem here?

Any changes to Social Security must happen through regular Congressional order, in the light of day. We have paid in through our entire working lives– It’s our money.

When you have to threaten your own party to pass a nominee, it strongly suggests that their qualifications are highly questionable.

Elon Musk spent $200 million to elect Donald Trump. His net worth has jumped $70 billion since Election Day. That’s a 34,900% ROI. Your reminder that billionaires buy elections to make money, not because they care about politics or the working class.

On the 50th anniversary of Richard Nixon's resignation, I wrote how the Trump crimes dwarf Watergate.

The Watergate scandal forced his resignation 50 years ago. Today, he’d probably have gotten away with it.
