While the billionaires get much richer, 60% of working class Americans struggle to afford food or housing. Millions are losing healthcare.
Yes. The very rich should start paying their fair share of taxes. That’s why I support the California Wealth Tax on billionaires.

Trump selecting his own resort in Doral to host the G20 summit not only benefits his resort, but means other cities have materially lost out. No evidence that there was a fair selection process. Clear presidential profiteering. Don't let this go. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

The health insurance industry hopes you never hear this:
Medicare for All would save the average American family over $12,000 a year. Gone: monthly premiums. No premiums. No deductibles. No copays. No surprise bills. No “out-of-network” traps. No $500 ambulance bill months later.
That is why they spend $150 million a year lobbying Congress.

Couldn't Tom Cotton's friends get someone other than a state legislator who runs a puppy mill registry service pretending to be an Average Joe farmer for their $1.5 million anti-Hallie Shoffner ad buy? buff.ly/O4qPPyZ

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today.
Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

The US spends $5 trillion a year on health care.
More than any other country on earth.
And we still have 25 million uninsured and millions of Americans in medical debt.
The system isn't failing. It's working exactly as designed. For the wrong people.

Entergy and billionaires now run Arkansas. They decree that PSC orders increasing your electric rates may be kept secret. Queen Sarah’s stooges allowed this.

Scientists have discovered AI data centers are even worse for the environment than we thought. Big data centers create "heat islands" that raise local surface temperatures an average of 3.6°F, enough to potentially devastate local wildlife and water supply.
