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.

Is Social Security a "Ponzi scheme?" That's what the top Republican on the Budget Committee thinks. So I asked people in Seattle outside of the Social Security office what THEY think.

Wages aren’t keeping up with Trump’s inflation. 30-year mortgage rate up from 5.99% before the war to 7.6%, or $4,330 more per year for a typical household. Household debt, Q1 ’25 to Q2 ’26: +$56B. Families going into more debt just to get by. Total cost to American borrowers of Trump’s broken promise to cap credit card interest rates: $94.9B. Share of each extra dollar of income going to household debt: 52¢. Take-home income up $109/month since 2022; debt payments up $57. Cost of Living Basket Since Dec. 2024: Electricity +12.7%, approximately $222 more for the average household. Rent +5.1%, approximately $256 more. Gasoline +43.7%, approximately $758 more.

diverse community that makes up the face of Washington state, and their histories and cultures
stretch across centuries; and
WHEREAS, the contributions of Hispanic and Latine people who are from the United
States and those who come to our shores today in search of their dreams continue to add new
chapters in our state's story; and
WHEREAS, Hispanic and Latine people serve honorably in our Armed Forces,
defending the values we hold dear; transform industries with new, innovative ideas; are elected
officials, public servants, essential workers, agriculture workers, teachers, and leaders; and have
led and inspired movements that have made our state more equal and just; and
WHEREAS, many Latin Americans trace their roots to the cultures of the indigenous
peoples of the Americas, including the Arawaks, Aztecs, Incas, Maya, and Tainos; the Spanish;
or to Africans who were enslaved and built our country; and
WHEREAS, the Hispanic community now represents 13.74 percent of Washingtonians,
and three counties in our state, Yakima, Franklin and Adams, have majority Hispanic
populations; and

In case you needed further proof that Trump has no clear plan or exit strategy for the Iran War, here he is casually mentioning an attack on two American cities. Total insanity.
Three stacked images of Trump speaking with quotes overlayed. Text reads, "With the war, it’s just a little artificial. It’s [prices] a little bit high. It’s a small price to pay... Let them take out Los Angeles. Let the take out San Diego."
