Reminder: Elon Musk is worth nearly $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. See the problem here?
Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They have seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, they've laid off thousands of workers. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.
The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Kyiv. Electricity is back. I thought we wouldn’t see it for a few days after the night attack. Glory to Ukrainian engineers.
Georgia mother: My premiums increased 7 times over. It's not just crushing my dream, it has crushed my daughter's dreams. It's crushing so many other families' dreams. Their small businesses are being squeezed...I don't want other people to feel this pain that that my family is carrying right now.
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Greetings from Kyiv and warcoffee. Today, we honor the victims of the massive famine of 1932–1933. Man-made, stalin-made, russia-made. Millions of Ukrainians died. Don’t ever ask us why we stand. You already know the answer.
BREAKING: 30 more Starbucks locations are joining the strike. Starbucks workers in 25 cities are jumping into the week-long strike. Now @sbworkersunited.org members at 95 stores in 65 cities have walked off the job.
AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.
Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting. Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract
These are the living conditions ICE/border patrol provides for the children they kidnap. Does this look pro-Life to you?

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy. Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United. The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.
I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike. When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.
