The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

Banana republic shit.

If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Mabel & I hope all our fellow Californians vote YES on Prop. 50!

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Oh this is not great

it’s all just a grift

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Portland, ruling he overstepped his authority and violated state sovereignty. The court said Trump’s move lacked any “colorable basis” and was not justified by conditions on the ground.

Oregon AG Rayfield: Huge win at this moment in our democracy right now.

This is the president that is normalizing the use of the United States military in our country.

So to get this strong of a ruling out today for the public to see—it’s incredibly important.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

According to polling, it’s already backfiring, at least politically.

The GOP isn’t going to stop them from doing what they’re doing, but they’re certainly going to pay for it come voting time.

Unless we’re going to go on a nationwide strike, voting is really our only reasonable way out of this.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.”

Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.
