Richest 1% of Britons owns more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 richest families hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population combined. The concentration of wealth in fewer hands has not provided the necessary economic stimulus. Need redistribution.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship
Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the population

Trump's AG Todd Blanche just filed a misconduct complaint against two Minnesota federal judges for telling the NYT that the 3,000-agent immigration surge there threatens democracy. Their crime? Documenting 96 violated court orders. Punishing judges for truth is how democracy dies.

Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

I think the Senate Judiciary Hearing today, where they tried…in vain…to smear Jack Smith, was better than anything else that could have taken place to boost voter turnout for democracy. I think it reminded a lot of people just how much they hate these swindlers…and why.

The Darlene Graham moment was wild… I don’t know who thought it would be a good idea for her to say anything, because her incompetence is a real liability. And Jack Smith’s answer to her question, was interesting, to say the least.

Paxton's buddy, a child rapist, raped a child for 3 fucking years, from the time the child was aged 8 until 11. And Paxton thinks 60 days in the country club prison for rich GOP Texans was sufficient penalty for raping a child for three years? Come on Texas, kick the Paxton trash to the curb in Nov.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

DOJ has charged Wilber Garcés with felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer, based on the allegation he struck an ICE officer with his sideview mirror when driving off after the initial traffic stop. He was then chased for 8 minutes, rammed, and then shot.
Image 1: the agent is standing in front of the driver’s side mirror, with the mirror at waist height.Image 2: the agent now has has hands on the car as it starts to move. The mirror appears to be very slightly in contact with his waist.Image 3: the agent has pulled his hips back and the mirror is no longer touching the agent.
