Historians will scratch their heads about 2024, in which 1 candidate was forced to quit the race for being old & having a bad debate while the other candidate said mad, rambling stuff like this & not only stayed in the race but didn’t get pressured to step aside by the media:

Oh, we made Elon mad lol.

(📣) The President of Brazil has issued a statement about Twitter: “The world isn’t obliged to put up with Elon Musk’s far-right free-for-all just because he is rich.” RETWEET if you agree. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Mark Zuckerberg—who recently purchased a $300 million, 387-foot megayacht, powered by four gigantic diesel engines—tells us about the importance of "stopping climate change before we destroy the planet". 🤡

Hello?

Steward Health's CEO raked $250M as his company saddled 30+ hospitals with billions in debt, leading to mass layoffs and medical supply shortages. He spent his lavish earnings on a $40M yacht, $15M luxury fishing boat, $62M private jet, $33M backup jet, and a $7.2M ranch.

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. Hello?

CEOs can write off the entire cost of their private jets, but you can’t write off the cost of the car you use to drive to work. This is what it looks like when billionaires and corporations are allowed to fund the election campaigns of the politicians who write our tax laws.

The best summation of what the Electoral College is. It’s archaic and needs to go.

Memo to the moderators on Tuesday: The quest for balance is a trap. Treating rival assertions in a debate as equal when one is demonstrably false is not fairness but malpractice. There aren't two sides to a lie. Lies are never acceptable and must always be corrected.

Sen. DURBIN: Justice Clarence Thomas is “in clear violation” of federal law for failing to disclose more than $4 million worth of gifts.

The most pathetic line ever delivered by a candidate in a presidential debate was when he said, “I saw it on television!”

"The ultra wealthy are avoiding nearly $2 trillion in taxes every 10 years. That is enough to keep Social Security whole till the end of this century." - Ron Wyden

It’s simple: Corporations are not people. RT if you think it's time to overturn Citizens United and get rid of dark money in our elections.

Rhode Islanders shouldn’t have to worry about whether Social Security will be there for them when they reach retirement age. If we de-corrupt our tax code, we can secure Social Security for generations to come.

A billionaire paying Elon Musk $200M to go to space is a great reminder that the 400 richest billionaires paid an effective federal tax rate of 8.2% in recent years, while the average middle class family paid 14.9%. Let billionaires go to space *after* they pay their fair share.

CLASSIC TAKEDOWN: Watch as Jamie Raskin, a well-known Democratic leader, exposes Byron "The GOP Butler" Donalds for his lack of understanding of constitutional law and hypocritical attempts to defend Donald Trump. Raskin's swift dismantling of Donalds highlights the

Donald Trump, a 78-year-old man, who is candidate for President of the United States, screams in all caps, “I hate Taylor Swift!”. There is nothing normal about this.

When our “god” is only in the business of saving our preferred presidential candidates from harm, but not kids at school, Haitians, or Palestinians, and expects us to do nothing about their circumstances, that’s when we know we are worshiping an idol.

Big Oil companies line the pockets of shareholders with billions in profits each year, in part by shirking their responsibility to clean up old wells. Today, Natural Resources Democrats and I held Big Oil—and their enablers in Congress—accountable for cheating taxpayers and polluting our planet.
