The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Good to know Chris Pratt is an ignorant douchebag who is in favor of children dying of measles and cancer research being cut. Never gonna see another movie of his again.

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning.

The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

#MartyMakary is a peddler of misinformation. A study came out on Monday saying: "In this nationwide cohort study, no increased risk of 29 adverse events was observed after vaccination with the updated COVID-19 mRNA vaccine [...] in approximately 1 million adults." Trust the data, not this fool. 1/

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew

What an important point by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social back in February and ever more relevant.

"Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 ... So questions should be asked about why she didn't take up the [Epstein] case -- or launch a probe -- when she was attorney general in Florida."

it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated and in which he was found liable for sexual assault, and yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.

Trump has had a lot of cognitive mishaps this week with evidence of his medical issues (bruised hand from an IV and an edematous ankle(s)).

At his age, with the poor state of his brain and cognition, all it takes is a metabolic imbalance or UTI to throw him into a delirium.

Anti-vaccine organization tries to target a journalist's child to either punish her for her reporting on misinformation or cower her into silence.

It won't work. Brandy Zadrozny has more courage than that. It just shows them in a bad light.

Studies show that feeding kids improves learning.
The poorly educated vote MAGA.

So of course, the GOP cut funding for feeding kids. They really are playing the long game, always have been.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran

This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.
