The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

So let me get this straight: a war of choice unilaterally declared by one man is causing death and destruction at a cost of $1B+ per day? And it's driving up prices everywhere to the point where corporations are now asking for taxpayer funded bailouts? Is this what the "New Golden Age" looks like?

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

Maybe it's just me, but I think more people should be talking about the fact that Jared Kushner helped convince Trump to start a war with Iran. Meanwhile, Kushner's top client, Saudi Arabia, which pays Kushner $25 million+ annually, was also lobbying Trump to start a war.

UPDATE: Trump says Kushner helped convince him to go to war with Iran
