. ❓Did you know❓ In 1981 in the United States, the top 1% of adults earned 27-times what the bottom 50% earned. That’s a huge divide, but it gets worse. By 2016, the top 1% earned a massive *81-times more* than the bottom 50% of the population! 81x’s 😳🤯🤷🏻‍♀️ . #FactsMatter .

Happy Obama appreciation day!

Joy Reid: Brendan Carr is weaponizing the agency to bully and control the press and suppress the wider televised media. Don Lemon arrested. Georgia Fort arrested. Terry Moran fired from ABC. Scott Pelley fired from CBS by the clique of far-right ideologues who bought it and handed it over to a zealot named Bari Weiss, who may soon also control CNN. Jim Acosta out at CNN. Karen Attiah fired from The Washington Post. And me, more than a year ago. All of us shown the door for just doing our jobs, standing up to the administration and, in my case, also for speaking out against the genocide.

Elon Musk continues to manipulate public opinion by censoring anti-racist posts, while simultaneously boosting racist content! The massive crowd at the top of the image are the ones standing up to racism. The ones behind the police cordon hiding their faces, are the racists.

Congress must bar implementation of Trump’s IRS settlement. Congress must also prevent future conflicts by prohibiting a sitting president from suing his own administration and collecting damages from it during his term in office. We've sent a letter. citizensforethics.org/legal-…

You MAGA Cult™️ Trump humpers are at peak delusion to think the stupid mess Trump got us into isn’t far, far worse than anything Obama did. Trump has broken our post WW2 guarantee of freedom of the seas. Iran and Oman control the strait now.

. Get your facts straight, rather than spouting off absolute nonsense and false claims. .

#BREAKING: Talarico: “Texans are struggling right now, in a way that we haven’t struggled before, and again it’s not to afford nice things, it’s to afford the basic things, the necessities, groceries and gas and insurance…and so the fact that politicians including our sitting U.S. Senator @tedcruz are throwing embarrassing cheap nicknames at their political opponents inInstead of focusing on improving Texans lives. To me that’s everything that’s wrong with our politics, and it’s why people are so fed up with this broken system…it doesn’t actually improve their lives…It looks a lot more like pro wrestling. You’ve got these old guys lathered up in their fake tan throwing cheesy nicknames at each other and those nicknames don’t lower the cost of groceries…and so I’m going to keep talking about the things that Texans actually care about. I’m going to keep proposing solutions to make their lives easier and better…and ultimately I think that’s going to win the day in our state in November.” 👏👏

BREAKING: Glen Whitley, a longtime Republican Judge in one of the most conservative counties in Texas, just announced he will not support Ken Paxton. This is huge news for James Talarico. Let’s go!

WTF!!!!! Trump is f-cking using Honor Guards at a UFC event on the Lincoln Memorial. No this is NOT ok. Don’t you dare call yourself a “patriot” while supporting this crap.

“Christians” fining churches for following Christian teachings. #OceanCity

. There are no MAGA Christians, there are only MAGA “Christians”. There are no genuine Christians in MAGA, it’s a false church co-opting the moniker “Christian.” Everything MAGA does is the opposite of what Jesus taught. .

So @OceanCity is not taking care of their homeless citizens, and punches a church in the face over them picking up the reigns to help the homeless. Thats fvcked up. @wboc what else are you finding out?

City fines church $1,000 per day—for having a homeless shelter. Served first citation soon as they opened doors to feed the hungry. Church refuses to turn people away—now suing the city. "We will file for federal protection so that our rights to live our faith are protected," said Rev. Jill Williams. She added that the church believes its work is also protected under the First Amendment and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. City administrators had already made the church close its outside shelter where they allowed the homeless to sleep in tents on church property. Now say the church is violating zoning issues for moving inside the building. St. Paul’s By-the-Sea Episcopal Church is located in Ocean City, Maryland.

Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo

Last year, I stood on the House floor as Congressional Republicans debated the Big Ugly Bill in the middle of the night — a massive transfer of wealth from working families to billionaires while cutting food and healthcare. It even included tax breaks for gun silencers. I said then what we still know now: this was a betrayal.

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser. I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more. I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class. I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families. I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

The Trump administration is proposing a new rule that forces all federal employees to sign NDAs upon hire. Employees who speak out or report wrongdoing could be fired, blacklisted, even sued under this rule. This is a direct threat to both the First Amendment and would-be whistleblowers who already face impossible hurdles when holding the government accountable. We have less than two weeks to stop it.
