WTF, CBS & all the rest of the so-called News agencies. Where is the investigative work? This is about Medicare Advantage insurers being paid more than traditional Medicare would have spent — a problem that has existed under multiple presidents - including Trump. share.google/xRgHaeYKuJNT...

I’m 100% against the Protect College Sports Act bill sponsored by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. This bill is harmful to all athletes, especially Black ones. And the HBCU portion of this bill is also a joke. Do NOT get played. This bill IS BAD FOR BLACK FOLKS! Call your US Senator and tell them to VOTE NO!

It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.
