The only people that are subject to law and order and have to follow the rules are the poor and middle class.

Imagine being Blake Johnson, an Iowa father of 3, discovering your water has 3X the legal nitrate limit. He goes to Washington for answers, and Rep. Ashley Hinson, who takes agribusiness money, reportedly RUNS AWAY and hides behind a locked door. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Tillis has no moral compass. He is just a lackey for the Magas and Republican Party. North Carolinians do not like him. Roy Cooper will be the next senator and Tom Tillis can go rot in his lake Norman house.

Your electric bill is up as much as 30%. PG&E's CEO took home $63.6 MILLION. Duke's CEO took home $51.2 MILLION. And both companies paid NEGATIVE federal tax rates. That's not a coincidence. That's a rigged system. Tax the rich.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries.

Trump treats the United States treasury, our tax money, like it’s his own piggy bank. It’s not his money. It’s not his memorial. It’s our tax dollars paying for the renovations. .

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Routine reminder that Bhattacharya is an economics researcher who has never practiced medicine and whose best known publication is overtly fraudulent. He has never done infectious disease research and has never treated a single virus or infection in his entire career. He’s likely never seen measles.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Federal corporate political spending has already reached nearly $650 MILLION ahead of the midterms, according to @publiccitizen.bsky.social. That’s an all-time high — and we’re still months away from Election Day. Big Money is the real threat to “election integrity.”

Fuck. No. The greatest human being to ever live. Was thinking about Steel Magnolias when the director shouted at her in front of everyone and told her she couldn’t act and had no idea why they’d hired her she said “Because I’m Dolly Parton, and they hired you to make me look like I can act.”
