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. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Cornell, Jane Doe, and the Culture That Protects Sexual Violence
What happened inside one fraternity house did not begin there. It grew out of a culture that excuses men, scrutinizes women, protects institutions and depends on silence.

This is a welcome change that could save lives. But science changes when evidence changes. Religion is different. You can’t call a rule the eternal law of an unchanging God, demand people risk lives obeying it, then rewrite it decades later and call it a “clarification.”

Taxpayers should NEVER be forced to bankroll discrimination. Catholic schools are free to follow their religious beliefs. They are not entitled to taxpayer money while refusing to follow the same nondiscrimination rules as everyone else.

can we just set up a fake Oval Bordello where Donny can pretend to be president and play patty-cake with his diaper nurse and stay out of trouble? FUN TRUE FACT: that's exactly what Donny's family did for his demented father Fred. thank you for your attention, etc. link is here: bit.ly/4gErFnM
now here’s a fun, true story. when Donny’s tyrant Klansman father Fred was completely lost to Alzheimer’s, his family built him a fake office where he would go every day to sign fake papers and have fake phone conversations with his secretary. having a familiar place to go every day kept old Fred happy and out of trouble.

can we just do that with Donny? can we build him a fake Oval Bordello down at his shitty Florida golf motel, and let him sit there all day long, posting dumbfuck memes onto his crappy app, playing Hide the Brain Cells with his diaper nurse, signing fake executive orders and holding fake press conferences? we could even put a fake Big Red Button on his fake Resolute Desk, so he could fake-nuke Iran.

come on. Donny’s brain has left the station. 25th Amendment now. as I never tire of saying, I’ll take my chances with the couch fucker.

After Trump gutted the IRS workforce — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires — the agency's annual audit revenue plunged by 35%. Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for the wealthy and powerful to skirt what they owe.

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.

Your regular reminder that if not for the Trump and Bush tax cuts, federal revenues would keep pace with federal spending indefinitely. Instead, these tax cuts have added at least $10 trillion to the debt. The so called "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.
