The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

Adam Hamilton winning the Democratic primary to challenge Roger Marshall has the GOP terrified. As the pastor of the nation's largest Methodist church, his platform of biblical economic fairness & social safety nets completely shatters the right's fake monopoly on faith. An evangelical nightmare. 🤦🏾‍♂️⛪
