If you have $1b, and the value of everything including your $1b is cut in half, you can still afford just as much stuff as you could before. But now more of the good stuff (i.e. real estate) is for sale, because how much the owners owed on it hasn’t dropped, and they can’t afford to keep them.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The Trump Administration killed over 383 active clinical trials and directly harmed more than 74,000 Americans with lasting future impacts for the public at large. Trump' s war on scientific research and public health is costing Americans lives and livelihoods.

Remember, the FBI reportedly created a spreadsheet of the all the references to Trump in the Epstein files. It's imperative for Democrats to demand that the Trump List be released along with the files. Otherwise you can rest assured that they will redact every reference to him.

Riding the high of Trump's latest tax cuts, corporations are seeing record profits and will make over $1.1T in stock buybacks this year — an all-time high. Meanwhile, layoffs have totaled 1.1M so far in 2025 — the highest level since the pandemic. "New Golden Age" for whom?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

The catch is his DOJ is the sole source of these files. They can withhold documents claiming they are part of active investigations, redact them citing national security concerns, alter them to protect certain individuals. They’ve had months to Trump-proof these files. Let’s see what happens.
