In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.
The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets โ more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
As a congressman, Markwayne Mullin made not one but two solo trips to Afghanistan, ignoring State Department warnings so he could play action hero.
Heโs a former amateur MMA fighter, not a veteran.
If heโd been captured or injured, American troops wouldโve had to risk their lives to bail him out.
It now appears clear that Jeffrey Epstein did NOT off himself, based on staff talk overheard by inmates, independent bank reports that large deposits of money were made to the guard in charge at the time, and 2 suspiciously nonfunctioning cameras.

Letโs get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. Itโs as simple as that.
Yโall.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow
BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake's appointment was ILLEGAL for many months & a bunch of her actions are void
We & great partners win again!
H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.
Went up .60 cents a gallon from last week.
The low keeps dipping lower.
I think the answer is you are very smart. ๐ it sounds right!
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise. The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheโs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyโve already sent her to Louisiana.
Once again, I voted NO on Republicans' blank check for DHS. The funding bill includes ZERO accountability measures to reign in ICE and CBPโs lawlessness, itโs unacceptable.
Communities are being terrorized, and people are dying, but Republicans refuse to put forth a serious proposal.
I'm definitely going to give Chuck props here. BTW, Politicians don't change their tune until it's politically expedient. It's the people who make change.
Now go further:
"...until DHS is dismantled, ICE is demolished, and a just and reasonable immigration service is created."

Epsteinโs victims deserve far more than โtransparencyโ they deserve justice. Voluntarily resigning from boards at retirement age isnโt a punishment.
Our tax money was spent on a deposition for Hillary Clinton in which she was asked about Pizzagate and UFOs. She isn't in the Epstein files. You know who SHOULD be deposed? Howard and Allison Lutnick. They were Epstein's next door neighbors.
NYT article titled โNew ACA plans could increase family deductibles to $31,000โ
Donald Trump says one thing and does another.
ย
Heโs been caught in a web of lies once again by breaking his promise to make health care more affordable and instead turning around to raise deductibles for working families.
Classic Trumpian hyperbole and nonsense on healthcare:
-TrumpRx has 43 medications. Thats it. No new price rebates. Itโs a menu for 43 meds, no new discounts.
-He has no plan for healthcare. Sending Americans a small check isnโt healthcare. Thatโs the plan.

@repilhan.bsky.social shouts at Trump during SOTU: "You have killed Americans."
You know who's violent deaths WON'T be mentioned in Trump's long, rambling SoTU speech?
Keith Porter, Ruben Ray Martinez, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.
