The economy is great for multinational corporations and those with passive income wealth, the results of 40 years of tax and other policy siphoning the wealth of the many to the few. It’s time to right the ship

@jamellebouie.net Consistent with your position that Trump sees democrats as illegitimate. It also undermines the preposterous argument that the green new deal is a scam. It seems to be beneficial if you live in a red state Trump cancels Grants to blue States www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

One thing that keeps getting lost, regardless of what you believe: you have to accept the process. Vote. Recount. Audit. Courts. Then it’s done. If you say anything other than ‘we’ll get um next time’ then you do not accept democracy. And that is not only unacceptable, it’s disqualifying
