Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today.
Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st.
You're going to pay in for 298 more days.
This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us.
Scrap the cap.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?
Why is it always the middle class’ job to shore up the economy when it’s the super rich that benefits?!!
They told us there was no money for healthcare.
No money for kids.
No money for families drowning in medical bills.
But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty.
That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem.
Fund care, not punishment.

Just spoke with my CDC sources.
They said RFK Jr. ordered tuberculosis cases to be hidden after more than 60 people tested positive at a San Francisco high school.
He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.
Pandemics don’t start with viruses. They start with secrecy.
RFK Jr. must resign now!
Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024
UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.
HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
Calling all healthcare workers! Please sign this petition and also call your Senators. Tell them to say no to ICE! #MedSky #NurseSky #EpiSky
Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
"Cardinal Tobin said he was struck by voices in the Trump administration who seemed to be advancing a moral framework he described as 'almost a Darwinian calculus that the powerful survive and the weak don’t deserve to.'
'I would say that’s less than human'...”

We hate to be the ones to say this, but the reason we're in this economic mess is because politicians on both sides chose the financial interests of their donors over the social, political, and economic interests of their constituents.
In order to change course, we need politicians to #TaxTheRich.
Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Or the files are so redacted as to be useless.
I’ve read many of these, so let me add The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan about the dust bowl days. A National Book Award winner.
You’re an embarrassment yourself.
I’ll take any victory over Abbot. They’ll appeal.
He didn’t shut down the government for as long as he did without working out a plan to block the Epstein files.
What alternate universe does he live in?
But how does she feel about the Democrats?
I bet Secret Service isn’t being paid. 😡
Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.
Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.
Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.
But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.
The legacy of the Roberts court.

I wish Trump had an ability to empathize, but he doesn’t. He has no policies to help our country, only revenge and retaliation.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
It's like we're living a nightmare. We have conspiracy wackos running our nation's most important health agencies. And people are going to die.
This shouldn't be another left/right, red/blue issue. RFK Jr. has to go. And Republicans should just say what they know is true.
I think he has dementia. His brain is fried.
