If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $834 billion that he's worth today. He'd still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.

BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing a bill to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half. A chunk of the money would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding in Italy to give his wife a $5 million ring because his tax rate is just 1.1%. Now he wants to spend $100 billion replacing workers in entire factories with robots. Tax the rich - NOW.

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

third way is the exact reason why democrats lost to incompetent fascists like trump twice. they can’t publicly defend neoliberal corporate centrism so they lean into another wedge issue, israel. these guys have no ability to read the room. neoliberalism & israel has no base!!!

"We’re all for a big tent. But the Democratic Party needs to draw a line in the sand. Hasan Piker and his fellow Jew-haters belong on the other side." Jon Cowan and @lilyycohenn write in @WSJopinion. tinyurl.com/bd47vj8v @ThirdWayTweet

Only 13% of Democrats view Israel favorably. So AIPAC: - Created shell super PACs to mask their identity - Smeared progressives from the left - Still lost half their races Then claimed: “Being pro-Israel is good policy—and good politics.”

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

The $7.25 an hour minimum wage hasn't been raised in 17 years. Since then, Bezos became $225 billion richer & wants Amazon to fully automate operations with plans to replace at least 600,000 workers with robots - no matter what the minimum wage is. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

The Jeff Bezos Washington Post comes out against raising the minimum wage.

AIPAC is spending millions in Democratic primaries to smear critics of Netanyahu’s genocidal policies. It’s time to kick AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super PACs out of Democratic primaries.

Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine·5d

Here's Susan Collins expressing her support for a war that has killed hundreds, displaced millions, cost billions, and accomplished nothing, while sounding alarmingly open to a bloody ground invasion. 25 years since sending me and my friends to war, and she has learned nothing.

Phil Hirschkorn@PHirschkorn

Maine @SenatorCollins expresses support today for Iran War: "I hope that this military operation will be both brief and successful....If there are troops on the ground, I believe that the administration has to come back and get an authorization for the use of military forces.”

Establishment: Medicare for All would force Americans to ration healthcare. Gallup: 39 million Americans are rationing or not taking prescription drugs TODAY because they can't afford high healthcare prices. Fact: Medicare for All would save $650 billion & 68,000 lives a year.

If you paid $400 to Live Nation to see Dua Lipa, you paid more to Live Nation than it paid in federal income taxes after making $145 million in profits. Live Nation is not only robbing fans blind, it's fleecing U.S taxpayers. 6 words: Break up Live Nation, tax the rich.

More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

Internal messages from Live Nation reveal two execs talking about "robbing [fans] blind." “These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," one says. That man is now the head of ticketing for the unit responsible for Live Nation's 150 amphitheaters.

The corporate race to the bottom: 1. Ship blue-collar jobs to Mexico & China 2. Replace high-tech workers with H-1Bs 3. Replace all workers with robots and AI All of this is possible because billionaires own the political establishment. End Citizens United, Fight Oligarchy
