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.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

So the big take-away from the Jack Smith hearing: "We have evidence you perjured yourself! No no one can look at it again, how dare you ask me that!" really means, "We can't get sports team's names right at all, and even the states those teams played in are totally wrong. But facts don't matter!!"

This really was a huge, disgraceful moment for our country. Trump walked Xi past the presidential portrait display in the West Wing colonnade and said, “Trump, and then Trump, and this is the autopen… Biden. It’s Biden.” Xi can be heard laughing in the video.

Another fight over who controls the nation’s purse strings. The White House announced that it plans to cancel $810 million in spending already approved by Congress, using a rarely used maneuver known as a “pocket rescission.”

Can’t believe our tax dollars are being used for political ads. The White House is now airing a taxpayer-funded ad during commercial breaks on Fox News. The 30-second spot has all the markings of a campaign ad, except the disclaimer at the bottom says: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

On September 18, while White House chief of staff Susie Wiles was out of town, Trump suddenly announced he was banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House.

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit. Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need. Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.” Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.” Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

Trump just posted threatening to knock out every power plant and every bridge in Iran if they don’t take his deal. He called it “the Iran Killing Machine.” Targeting civilian infrastructure isn’t negotiation it’s a war crime threat, posted publicly on social media like it’s nothing.

Many of you know this, but we’ve been getting questions on how did the Trump administration use the CRA to go after the Boundary Waters? Short answer is illegally.
