Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

If you want to see a witch hunt, watch Sen. Erik Schmitt attack Jack Smith. Schmitt makes false accusations, suggests being in Atlanta proves conspiracy, and when it becomes clear Smith was not in Atlanta at all, persists in name-calling. And no, he has no shame. www.nbcnews.com/video/republ...

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Incredibly glad someone is talking about for-profit prisons. When I had a friend inside, he got too little food, forcing him to supplement from a commissary with money put into his account from folks outside. The prices were astronomical, bleeding funds from inmates' communities. It was appalling.
