Despite exploding technology and increased worker productivity, millions of Americans are worse off financially today than they were 52 years ago.

Meanwhile, the rich get much richer.

We need an economy that works for all, not just the billionaire class.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Sunday thought Awakening the sleeping giant

America is like a sleeping giant whose passion for democracy and social justice is fearless, once awakened.

The giant doesn’t awaken easily, but a nightmare can do it.

3 children who are US citizens — including one with cancer — deported with their mothers to Honduras, lawyers and advocacy groups say | CNN Three US citizen children were deported to Honduras with their mothers last week, including a 4-year-old receiving treatment for metastatic cancer, according to the families’ attorneys and civil right...

Trump’s ICE deported 3 American kids.
One is 4 years old with stage four cancer.
Another’s mom is pregnant.

No meds. No prenatal care. No due process.

This ain’t “tough on immigration”—it’s sick.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

It’s time for the US to guarantee healthcare to all | Bernie Sanders We spend almost twice as much per capita on healthcare as any other country on Earth. It’s time to change that

The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive.

The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right.

The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

VA Secretary Doug Collins: "There's gonna be reorganization and people will not be employed as we go forward in a reduction in force, just like there will be across the whole of government because that's what the president promised during his campaign."

Carney: When I sit down with President Trump, it will be to discuss the future economic and security relationship between two sovereign nations and it will be with our full knowledge that we have many, many other options than the United States..

Q: Canada becoming the 51st state

LEAVITT: Trump truthing. All the way. And the Canadians would benefit greatly.

This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 119 … AG Pam Bondi is going to start locking up journalists: “Safeguarding classified, privileged, and other sensitive information is essential to effective governance and law enforcement.

Trump’s DOJ reverses protections for journalists. Meanwhile, Trump wears a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral, Putin mocks his “warnings,” and MAGA elites launch a $500k pay-to-play club in DC. Catch up with our weekend bulletin:

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Q: "Are you worried about empty shelves?"

Bessent: "We have some great retailers. I assume they pre-ordered."

We are no longer Democrats or Republicans. We are either patriots fighting the Trump regime or we are complicit in its tyranny. There is no middle ground.

Now is the time for all of us to become activists. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-start-of-week-14

CNBC: The president is using emergency powers, saying the current state of trade represents an unusual and extraordinary threat. Why do you disagree?

ARIZONA AG KRIS MAYES: Because it's not

KEILAR: Implicit in Trump's comments is that Hegseth doesn't have it together right now. Is that what our nation's fighting men and women deserve in a sec def?

DAVIDSON: Pete Hegseth is the secretary of defense our fighting men and women deserve

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

Trump's incompetence is everywhere. 

His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles.

While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

WELKER: Does the US still want to make Canada the 51st state?

MARCO RUBIO: I think the president has stated repeatedly he thinks Canada would be better off as a state

Jake Sullivan: "One of the things we recognized while we were in office was that Putin at that time was not prepared to come to the table to do a deal that would generate a just peace for Ukraine. So we recognized we had to actually build more leverage for Ukraine."

The world is on Zelensky’s side.

Zelensky applauded by world leaders upon entering church.
