The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch. https://youtu.be/Nmq7QqqY4vo?si=-_IyB5RX1IeFYjHW

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history.

It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy.

There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was.

Today is one of those days.

What did America's largest corporations do with their spoils from Trump's tax scam? Between 2017 and 2022:

-Stock buybacks jumped 98%
-Dividends increased by 40%
-Meanwhile, wages only grew by 14%

In some years these corporations paid their CEOs more than they paid in taxes.

Someone once told me, "The word economy means eco- as in habitat, and -nomy as law. Our economy is our home, and WE create the laws that create our home"

WE have the power. Let's stop pretending the economy is out of our hands.

every day of my life i wake up, read the worst scariest thing i've ever read, scroll down and immediately see a democrat scolding their constituents for begging them to do something about it and i wonder when enough will be enough and at this point i'm forced to assume the answer is "never"

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

Keep your eye on the big picture 5 ways Trump is concentrating power in his own hands, thereby replacing democracy with oligarchy

Trump is trying to β€œflood the zone” so we focus on a few outrages that we find most offensive and lose sight of the big picture.

Some thoughts on how to maintain focus. robertreich.substack.com/p/keep-your-...
