America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Palantir has been in the news a lot lately. Here's what you should know about the corporation that's helping Trump build a vast surveillance state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VwyhErd88
Ndiaye with a lot of trust for Barry. Good to see it. I would have laid it off to Alcaraz myself.
Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.
I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.
Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.
A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.
"On Trump’s desk in the Oval Office today was a plan for a triumphal arch on the other side of the river from the Lincoln Memorial"

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

Cost of public college tuition:
Sweden: $0
Norway: $0
Finland: $0
Denmark: $0
United States: $9,596
When Republicans say it's OK to give billions in tax breaks to the top 1%, don't tell me we can't afford to make public college available for free.
What Danielle said.
According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2%
Let me put that another way.
President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%
Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries, no matter what Trump says.
A tariff is an import tax, raising the price of almost everything we buy.
Tariffs are also regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.
Interestingly, the Board *does have control. Powell only gets one vote
