If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

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 countryโ€™s population, we have a very serious problem.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Americaโ€™s still terrified of powerful women in politics.

Itโ€™s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and itโ€™s on a whole different level of hate that most wonโ€™t even admit. Time to get over that shit!

Letโ€™s take a step forward on Tuesday.

Image with a rainbow border that reads: So many folks talk about how they're being "forced to accept" things that go against their beliefs. You're not being forced to accept them. If you have a problem with people of color, with gay marriage, with trans people, with immigrants, with women of any race, etc., then you're still welcome to feel however you want to feel about those people. You're just not allowed to make their lives harder because of your feelings. You're not allowed to turn their daily lives into a battle ground. No one is forcing you to "accept" a single thing. You're just not allowed to terrorize people.

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 ballroomโ€ฆ If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

OMG. This. Finally. Someone said it. Right-wing billionaires control nearly all media channels - including social media - now. Near impossible to cut through the gaslighting without serious time, thought, and effort.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is โ€œchoosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.โ€ It also warns of cuts due to โ€œCongressional Republicans and President Trumpโ€ in the โ€œOne Big Beautiful Bill.โ€

Good morning.

It's been 34 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

A tweet from Robert Reich states:
โ€œThe richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?โ€

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

Iโ€™m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

Itโ€™s corporate greed. Itโ€™s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Fentanyl and coke are the new โ€œweapons of mass destructionโ€ lie. Itโ€™s Iraq all over again, folks. Itโ€™s always about controlling the oil.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
