This is what oligarchy looks like. Manipulating markets to make illegal, insider trading profits.

The green lining to Trump's illegal, ill-advised war on Iran is that it's made renewables much more attractive financially.

No more government funding for Musk. It's all fraud, waste, and abuse.

The ethics of a number of our Supreme Court Justices are lacking, and Thomas leads the parade.

The Trump administration is both incompetent and unserious about negotiating peace. They just use their announcements to manipulate the markets so they and their cronies can engage in illegal insider trading and line their own pockets. This is what kleptocracy looks like.

If anyone in the Trump administration were serious about wanting to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, they would start at the Defense Department. Anything else is a politically motivated distraction.

Six of the Supreme Court Justice are not calling balls and strikes, they are changing the size and location of the plate to make politically and ideologically biased decisions.

FAIR TAXATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR DEMOCRACY Part 3 Democracy requires fair taxation. The current U.S. tax system is unfair. Given the huge inequalities in wealth, wealth and transfers of it need to be taxed directly. Wealth taxes are essential to re-establishing a fair tax system and reducing economic inequality.

Maybe is the US had some professional diplomats negotiating (rather than a couple of sketchy financiers) something serious would come out of the negotiations.

FAIR TAXATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR DEMOCRACY Part 2 Democracy requires fair taxation. The current U.S. tax system is unfair. Increased progressivity of individual and business income tax rates, especially on income from wealth (versus work), is one essential piece of re-establishing a fair tax system and reducing economic inequality.

FAIR TAXATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR DEMOCRACY Democracy requires a government that fosters people’s freedom. Its resources must come from fair taxation. Oligarchs cut taxes and undermine democracy to consolidate their power. Economic inequality has bred discontent and distrust of government and democracy, an opening for authoritarianism.

Once again, Trump violates the Constitution and congressional authority by spending our tax dollars in ways other than what they are legally appropriated for.

There is no voter fraud. There is no need for the VOTE Act. It's just voter suppression. Contact your Senator and tell them to oppose the VOTE Act.

The Trump administration time and time again tries to hide what it's doing. I wonder why. Maybe it's because they know what they're doing isn't right, ethical, or popular with the American public.

Democrats have offered multiple times to fund TSA and everything else at DHS except ICE and CBP. The Republicans keep refusing because they want to cause a crisis and don't care that it inconveniences the American public.
