The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — 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?
How stupid he said.
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.

Lots of students gathered at the Oregon state capitol building in Salem today for the student walk-out protesting ICE.
Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.
(Reuters) - The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now, according to sources familiar ..

Administration: It's unfair to criticize members of ICE because there are good people working for them.
Me: The fact that they're willingly working for ICE is prima facie evidence that their status as "good people" is questionable.
Clearly our President has no staff to proof-read his tweets. How much more embarrassing can this get? This tweet literally means nothing. Every sentence in this tweet is grammatically incorrect.
Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.
After WWII we could have gone home and left the world to burn.
Instead America rebuilt Europe, defended trade routes, and helped inspire the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Because America has always had a mission.
One we're dangerously close to forgetting.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Do I have this right? Trump will not go to Congress for war authorization… But he will go to Putin for war authorization!
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
Iran has a new strategy. They are targeting $1B radar systems that detect missiles and drones using cheap drones. Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia have all been hit. Russia is reportedly providing intelligence. (WSJ)
On International Women's Day, I acknowledge the conditions women worldwide endure so men can feel important. Here in NM, we have a female governor and a vast majority of female state legislators and solid representation in Congress. Our state provides universal child care until kids get to achool.
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE.
But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.
BRENNAN: The US is suspending some sanctions on Russia. But doesn't Russia financially benefit?
WRIGHT: Right now we're worried about Iran & US consumers
B: Russia was helping Iran
W: Well, there's been rumors. We don't know
B: Iranian drones have Russian parts in them. They're sharing intel
Getting back to the Mueller Report.
If you want to hear the whole Report read without edits or interpretation, visit Government Unfiltered, and listen.
Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
Blumenthal: "I have emerged from classified briefings deeply concerned and very fearful that we're on the precipice not only of an escalating conflict that in region, but also putting troops on the ground b/c that is almost inevitably the path the admin has chosen by its current tactical approach"
Homeland Security wants Social Media sites to expose Anti-ICE Accounts!!!!
The Government is trampling on our CIVIL LIBERTIES!!!!!

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution:
- declared war without Congressional authorization
- ignoring multiple court orders
- impounding Congressional authorized funds
- ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly
It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.
03/05/26 AM! You can put me on mute & block me. I don't care. I'll not stop! There're NO Civil Rights in Trump & Kimberly Richey’s Deranged America! I'll repeat this Every Day until Reality Sinks In. No children's rights, women's rights, disability rights, minority rights! 150 yrs gone! Get Louder
Yes, we definitely realize it. That is our intention too!
So the State Department is forcing everyone to immediately leave the region but is also refusing to help people leave the region.
The strike itself is illegal and disastrous but their lack of readiness for what comes next is unforgivable as well.
Incompetence everywhere.
