Robert Reich The Real Reason the Economy Might Collapse | Robert Reich

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Inside Democrats’ risky gambit to ‘fight fire with fire’ over election maps In Texas and beyond, the party has adopted a newly combative posture following months of internal conversations. Now, they face an uphill climb.

Military force against Americans, in our nation’s capital, starts Monday. They’ll start with the homeless and mentally ill, but it won’t end there. This is a test…

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

This is your daily reminder that there is clear, documented evidence that Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women.

TEXAS REP. @crockett.house.gov: “There is no morality. There is nothing but lawlessness… If we’re going to preserve our democracy in this moment this is the way we are going to have to engage in this fight.”

"We need all of the gates, all of the routes to be open." UNICEF's Ted Chaiban talks with @kaitlancollins.bsky.social about meeting children and families at a health center in #Gaza City last week, and why conditions on the ground must improve to meet their urgent needs:

UNICEF on Starvation Risk in Gaza UNICEF spokesperson Joe English talked about the dire need for aid to get into Gaza as the war continues.

For children suffering from severe acute malnutrition in #Gaza, "It's not just a case of getting some food aid in," @joe-english.bsky.social tells @wgntv.com. "They need medicalized, high-protein peanut paste to save their lives, and we have to be able to get in as soon as possible to reach them."

Well its different here. Our government doesn’t care about flowers, or animals. Or parks or clean air, - or us for that matter. Unless we happen to be billionaires

RFK Jr.‘s war on mRNA vaccines breeds distrust, threatens Canada’s access to development: experts Kennedy recently announced the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was halting funding for 22 mRNA vaccine projects worth nearly US$500 million.

WATCH: Understanding the stages of starvation According to the United Nations, more than 20,000 children were hospitalized in Gaza for malnutrition between April and mid July.

Starvation is the end stage of acute malnutrition. In Gaza “at least 30% of children under 5 are experiencing acute malnutrition.”

“The entire population now are starving …we reached the fifth stage, which is famine, because most people cannot access food.”

Both of my parents were immigrants. Like other immigrants they came ( mum from Ireland, dad from Australia) for the opportunities America offered. The minute we, for any reason, begin to think of ourselves as ‘better’ than the most impoverished immigrant, we are morally lost

Over the last 20 years, looking at all vaccines administered domestically, there have been 9,933 actual vaccine injuries out of roughly 6.5 billion vaccines administered. That’s just 0.015 percent of all vaccines that result in injuries over 20 years. An estimate 4.2 million lives have been saved.

Texas warning.

Welcome to Texas, where the sound of gunfire and the loud thumps of SUVs mowing down people is just the sound of freedom.
