Another $900 billion for Elon Musk, while 60% live paycheck to paycheck? Really?
This is not only grossly immoral. It is insane economics.
No society can survive when one man becomes a trillionaire while the working class struggles to survive.
This cannot stand.

Even President Trump gets it right once in awhile.
Vaccines are safe and effective. They have saved millions of lives.
Sadly, Sec. Kennedy disagrees.
We need an HHS Secretary who believes in science, not conspiracy theories.
Donald Trump just passed the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich in history and the tech oligarchs are now lining up to praise him.
The greed of the billionaire class knows no bounds.
🎥: Washington Post
Yesterday, President Trump said of RFK: “I like the fact that he's different."
Yes. RFK is *different.*
He’s the first HHS secretary to actively endanger children by undermining what doctors & scientists around the world know to be true:
Vaccines have saved millions of lives.
The medical community understands that vaccines are safe, effective & have led to the elimination of polio, measles & small pox.
Secretary Kennedy does not.
President Trump must ask for his resignation.
We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories.
Vaccines are safe and effective.
Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans.
He must resign.
Florida's Surgeon General is dead wrong. Requiring children to get vaccinated to prevent measles, mumps & polio is not akin to "slavery."
Over the past 50 years, vaccines have saved millions of lives & reduced the infant mortality rate by 40%.
Vaccines save lives — period.
Union membership means higher wages, better benefits and a more secure retirement for America’s workers.
If we are going to save the middle class, we have got to expand union organizing in this country.
Dangerously, President Trump and HHS Sec. Kennedy are wreaking havoc on our already broken and dysfunctional healthcare system.
You don’t make America healthy again by throwing 15 million people off of their health care and undermining science.
Secretary Kennedy must resign.
RFK Jr. and Trump tell us they want to Make America Healthy Again.
Great slogan. I agree. Unfortunately, they are doing the exact opposite.
Vaccines work. They are safe. They save lives.
No more conspiracy theories. Kennedy must resign.
Nurses at University Medical Center New Orleans work tirelessly in dangerous conditions to provide the best care to their patients. They voted to form a union over 620 days ago & are still fighting for their first contract.
Unacceptable. UMCNO must deliver a fair contract now.
Congratulations to the White River Junction VA Medical Center staff for receiving a 4-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
It's a sign of the lifesaving work they do.
Vermonters appreciate having this excellent hospital taking care of our veterans.
No, President Trump.
Forcing seniors with traditional Medicare to get prior approval from AI companies before they can receive the health care they need won’t make America healthy again.
It will make AI companies even richer by denying care to seniors.
DON’T CUT MEDICARE.
Resident doctors are being exploited.
They’re working 70 or 80 hours a week and trying to pay off student debts with totally inadequate salaries.
The good news is that they are forming unions and fighting back. I stand with them.
I applaud workers at the CDC for standing up against Sec. Kennedy’s dangerous anti-vaccine crusade.
We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump Administration.
History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.
The nurses at Concord Hospital-Laconia in New Hampshire will soon vote on whether to become the state's first nurse union at a private hospital.
I applaud this courageous effort and strongly support SEIU 1984 in their campaign.
RFK Jr. is pushing out scientific leaders who refuse to act as a rubber stamp for his dangerous conspiracy theories and manipulate science.
Today, I am calling for a bipartisan congressional investigation into the firing of CDC Director Dr. Monarez.
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.
The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.
Vaccines save lives. Period.
Children are starving. Hospitals are bombed. Journalists are killed.
Trump and Congress must stop all military aid to the extremist Netanyahu government.
No more excuses. We cannot continue to be complicit in these war crimes.
Trump threatens & investigates his political opponents — Democrats & Republicans. He says, in violation of the Constitution, that he has “the right to do anything [he] wants.”
Is there one Republican who has the guts to stand up to this rapid movement toward authoritarianism?
