There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

I wish I lived in a caring, thoughtful country where politics wasn't about winning an election next year, but helping our citizens this year.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

It's never good when the richest person in the world and the worst person in the world are the same person.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.

The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Literacy is activism.
Reading is a political act.
Books are tools for liberation.

Public education is the backbone of American democracy.

In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

Never before has there been such a gang of Republican politicians so willing to sell their souls for their own reelection at the expense of the rule of law and the health, safety, security and freedom of their children, grandchildren, constituents and country.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Corrupt billionaire immigrant Musk and his surrogates have officially illegally gained access to Medicare/Medicaid payment systems. He is who should be arrested for espionage and deported.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to drive a wrecking ball through our government.

The people who will pay a real price are the hard-working families who are just trying to make it to the end of the month.

We must use every tool to fight back.

She told us what she would do, he told us what he would do... a lot of y'all chose him, sat out, or went 3rd party (knowing they couldn't win) & now he's doing what he said. Obviously, you thought he was the better option. Don't get mad at her for your choice.

I would much rather have qualified and experienced DEI hires than unqualified buffoons that suck up to the boss and don't know how to do the job or even care to learn how to do the job.

But, that's just me.
