The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%. Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich.

If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

Elon Musk is trying to shut down the CFPB, the agency that has forced big banks and corporations to return more than $21 BILLION to families they cheated.

JFC! We’ve got a teenager with full access to the State Department’s dataβ€”one who joked about wiping servers after getting fired for leaking a security firm’s info to a competitor.

What could go possibly wrongβ€”except permanent damage to our top national secrets and the trust of our allies.

It warms my heart that the team who won't visit the White House beat the team who kissed his ass.

Farmers on the hook for millions after Trump freezes USDA funds The White House had repeatedly said the funding freeze would not affect benefits that go directly to individuals.

The federal government promised it would reimburse farmers for millions in infrastructure investments, but Trump's funding freeze just left farmers on the hook.

And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits.

A "new Golden Age" for whom?

Removes much that deals with foreign disinformation. And other important topics. This is deliberate state self-destruction under the pretext of removing DEI.

And it looks like it’s official. Trump is ignoring court orders.

The rubicon has been crossed.

They are going to ignore court orders.

If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.

It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more β€œefficient.”

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world β€” or for the rest of us?

I'm a little surprised more govt employees aren't just saying "no" more often. The question fed HR seems unable to answer right now is how they plan on enforcing disciplinary action that supersedes the employee-supervisor hierarchy. Like, the people you don't work for can't just fire you.

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

The sickening way McBride is treated in congress never ends.

At some point, you have to just stop taking it. I don't know where that point is for McBride, I know where it was for my own wife, you have to hit back.

At least in this case, a fellow Dem did afterwards and said "Mr. Speaker" in return.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Multi-level barrage of US book bans is β€˜unprecedented’, says PEN America Censorship at local to federal level recalls past authoritarian regimes β€˜but this has never all happened at once’

"The bans show a clear pattern of targeting authors of color, women and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Books that educate about racism, gender and history are most often the recipient of relentless censorship attempts." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
