The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…

#ProudBlue State Rep. Nicole Collier (D-Fort Worth) was seen sitting among her colleagues' empty chairs after being prevented from leaving the House due to her refusal to allow law enforcement officers to accompany her out of the chamber. Good for her! Not backing down to this BS!

Terminating the union contracts of 400,000 workers at the VA, many of whom are veterans themselves, is union-busting, plain and simple. VA Secretary Doug Collins: taking away your workers’ union contracts isn’t putting veterans first—it’s putting them at risk.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

Texas spent over $11b on "border security" the past few years, claiming to protect its residents. But $0 on flood warning systems in a flood zone where 10 kids had died in a flood. I hope every single parent sues the living crap out of Abbott, Texas and anyone else found culpable.
