And instead of projecting seriousness in the role, he leans into the spotlight.

One day it’s warnings about national security. The next it’s viral clips of him drinking beer with the U.S. Olympic hockey team. Less discipline, more performance.

In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages.

The rich are getting richer, while everyone else is left in the dirt.

While the ultra-rich get even richer, families are getting squeezed by a rigged economy.

It's time for the government to stop listening to the richest of the rich and start working for working people.

It’s becoming far too common for corporate landlords to buy up single-family homes by the thousands, pricing out hardworking people from owning a home. We’ve got to crack down on these predatory practices and build more housing.

Here’s a thought. Spend a day each month in your district with $50 cash and that’s all you for the day get to eat. Get to work. And pay your bills. Education done.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.

Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.

Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.

But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

Peter Thiel and Balaji Srinivasan are funding an app to attack journalists.

Getting smeared by "Objection AI" will become a badge of honor for reporters.

I'm glad to see them deepening their relationship just in time for my book, which exposes that very subject.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Elon Musk’s $78 million private jet? He can write that off. Jeff Bezos’ $500 million mega-yacht? He can write that off, too.

It’s a scam.

This is why billionaires buy politicians — to rewrite the rules and rig the system for themselves.
