Americans are increasingly aware of the surveillance systems used by almost 80 percent of police departments to trace vehicles and drivers without a warrant—and they are pissed.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

“So the bottom line is Trump doesn’t do the show anymore.” “Yeah.” That time Dave Letterman said Trump stopped doing the show unless he apologized for calling Trump “racist” — and Dave wouldn’t do it.

Under Trump, labor force participation is collapsing as stable, well-paying jobs become harder and harder to find. Meanwhile, inflation keeps surging and wiping out wage growth. He's running the economy just like he ran his businesses — right into the ground.

You can't make this up: the Trump administration is arguing in court that even a cancer diagnosis isn't enough to claim an exemption from his draconian new Medicaid work requirements. Sickening — and all to fund even more tax cuts for the ultra-rich.

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.

The 2020 election was not rigged and no votes were changes. Donald Trump's reaction was to sue and incite a violent insurrection in the Capitol. Donald Trump is once again laying the groundwork to try to overturn elections he is about to lose. We need to be prepared and to fight back.
