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 countryโs population, we have a very serious problem.

The share of Americans age 65 & older has risen & will likely keep growing. Older households tend to hold more wealth, increasing the demand for assets across the economy. This chart shows the rise in older population alongside a decline in long-term real yields. https://bit.ly/47fEqQW

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people โ not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.
Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Worse than having *no* public protests at this point, given all the horrors this administration has already visited upon our democracy, wd be to have public protests w/anemic turnout.
Don't just think abt attending.

Boston No Kings! won't be your average protest.
Yes, weโll have speakers-but also live music, theater & art, & more than 30 resistance groups ready to turn your outrage into action.
Because in Mass, we donโt just rallyโwe organize.
Peaceful? Yup. Passive? Never. Join us!

It would appear Christo-fascism has its appeal to devout Christians long accustomed to authoritarian strongmen. Sadly, many newcomers equate the Democratic Party with the far-left (radical socialism or communism) - betraying a facile understanding of contemporary American politics and culture. โ๏ธ

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

In your zeal to muddy Pritzker, you conveniently overlooked wealthier Illinoisans. For the sake of balance, here are the top five:
Lukas Walton -- $39.8 billion
Patrick Ryan -- $10 billion
Neil Bluhm -- $8.7 billion
Mark Walter -- $7.3 billion
Ty Warner -- $6.5 billion
