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.

Blame the tire for going flat.

Sometimes it’s best not to respond and just leave things alone.

This is the same as using lawfare to prosecute the presidents political enemies, the same as Speaker Johnson refusing to swear in an elected Democrat, the same as Trump still claiming he won the 2020 election.
It is not a democracy if opposition figures are not allowed to hold power.

So racist and disgraceful. Colorado’s 4th Congressional District needs to vote her out in the next election.

And the Titanic almost didn't sink

F.D.A. Drug Unit Chief Is Placed on Leave, and Cites a ‘Toxic’ Environment

Wow: George Tidmarsh, brought in by Trump admin to lead FDA’s drug division, is on leave after he says he questioned FDA’s plan to speed drug approvals, @by-cjewett.bsky.social reports

Also says he clashed with Vinay Prasad and blames him for a toxic environment at FDA

"HOW WILL ZOHRAN PAY FOR FREE BUSES" screamed the Staten Islanders who have a free ferry

I tuned in to the @60minutes Trump interview with low expectations, and I haven’t bern surprised. Norah let Trump lie and lie with barely any pushback or provision of corrective facts. Where is the Aussie guy from @axios when we need him?

Ya. Wouldn't want to blame that recession on rising prices, tarriffs, corporate uncertainty, or lack of consumer confidence.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

"Guns a blazing." He must have just finished a John Wayne movie marathon. Maybe he should read a few of the " lessons learned" documents the military has compiled over the last century instead.

These two morons have us gearing up for war in Nigeria and Venezuela after previous strikes on Yemen and Iran and intervention in Gaza, we are beginning nuclear testing for the first time in 33 years, and all this comes after threatening Greenland, Panama and Canada.
