I don’t know if we have to break up these companies. But their employees definitely must be paid a living wage and they have to be taxed more so we can properly provide for the people of this nation and close the tremendous wage gap between executives and workers
AOC: “The problem is that these big companies think they are governments – they want to be governments. They want to have totally unchecked power
I believe that we need to pursue antitrust. We need to break up a lot of these companies that are far too big - & we need consumer protections for ppl”

Outside, Cook County Sheriff’s deputy Gigliotti #19013 daps it up with one of the agents.

This Krugman message in summary says: rather than trash and restructure how SS is funded the MAGA minority are too lazy to fund SS differently. I see these criminal-MAGAs prefer to lie, steal,torture & kill innocent smart people, obliterating simple problem solving skills that could help everyone.

I just watched video of 5 ICE agents abducting a guy from a courthouse in my area of Massachusetts. Periodic reminder that ICE hasn't gone anywhere. They are still here and still terrorizing immigrants.

Donald Trump is now responsible for 28% of the US national debt.
That's $11 trillion. In 250 years of American history, no president has added more.
That's not an opinion. It's math.
