The CEO-to-worker pay ratio at S&P 500 companies last year was 285-to-1. The median employee would have had to start working in the year 1740 to earn what the average CEO received in 2024. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Treasury Secretary Admits Trump's Tariffs Are Paid by Americans Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that U.S. importers, or American consumers, pay for Donald Trump's tariffs.

Telling the truth that Trump’s tariffs are taxes on American consumers could cost Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent his job unless he lies and claims he misspoke or was misconstrued. It’s just a matter of time . . .

How? YOU.

Every dot on this map is someone who believes in what we’re building — and the latest polling shows I’m the *strongest* Democrat to beat Rogers.

Bruce! Gorgeous photo!

We can’t look away from the suffering in Gaza while politicians cling to power! The reality is heartbreaking—too many innocent lives are caught in the crossfire. Most Israelis oppose this war, so why can’t we? It’s time for a hard stance against the endless cycle of violence! #FindOutPodcast

The gun lobby wants us to believe a gun makes you safer at home. That’s a lie. You're more likely to harm yourself or a loved one than fend off a burglar! Guns lying around are just accidents waiting to happen. We need clearer thinking, not dangerous myths. 💔🔫 #GunSafety #TruthMatters

When does defending yourself turn into outright obliteration? Destruction doesn't bring peace, it deepens wounds. Both Trump and Biden have blood on their hands for enabling this carnage. How can we call ourselves pro-democracy while our leaders act like this? #Enough #HumanityMatters

Stop tiptoeing around the truth. Opposing the genocide in Gaza isn’t anti-Semitic—it's a moral imperative. It's time to listen to voices like Mandy Patinkin and stand up for humanity. We can't ignore the suffering because of fear. Let’s lead with compassion, not complicity.

What’s happening in Gaza right now is a moral crisis, and it’s infuriating that our leaders aren’t calling it out. You can support Israel and still criticize the government’s actions—if you can’t see that, you’re missing the whole point. Democracy demands honesty, not silence!

Thanks for sharing this!

UnitedHealth will raise prices, cut coverage, and increase denials to increase their profits and drive their stock price back up.

Your reminder that when healthcare is for-profit, people are left to die and driven into debt, by design.

Healthcare should never be for-profit.

The Roberts court: a hive of grievance from powerful men Appeasement has a price.

“The Roberts court is simultaneously corrupt, extreme, pliant and incoherent. It is the worst court imaginable facing the worst president in American history, with a rubber stamp Politburo serving him, while trampling the Constitution.”

Veterans need the staff who are leaving the VA. Collins claims those staff were exempt but on the list @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social obtained there are hundreds of employees who typically interact with patients, including nurses, claims assistants, therapists, pharmacists, & psychologists.

Elon Musk donated $15 million to Republican and pro-Trump super PACs...in just a single day.

That’s roughly 0.00375% of his total net worth.

Oligarchs can spend pennies to rig the system in their favor at the expense of everyone else.

We must get Big Money out of politics.

I’m a lawyer who’s worked with unhoused clients; acquiring a govt ID is by far, the most common task/obstacle unhoused clients face, usually at the outset.

So of course, ICE is raiding homeless shelters. They hit the Women’s’ Shelter across the street from our bldg, yesterday. Cruelty is the point.

An 18-year-old U.S. citizen was violently detained by Border Patrol and told he had no rights here.

He happened to record the encounter, which captured immigration agents joking about using stun guns and getting bonuses.

It's a move back to the Bork era of antitrust, which gave corporate monopolies outsized power at the expense of consumers, workers, and small businesses. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMZK...
