In a context where billionaire wealth is booming, this deprives governments of very significant revenue.
And even more importantly, it fuels the rise of inequality—or rather, the rise of plutocracy, which now far exceeds its Gilded Age peak.

Why billionaires pay much less tax than the average American
As wealth concentrates at the top, upper-crust tax rates have declined. Go figure.

My message would be that this is not what government has to be. This is not the only vision for what it looks like to have politics in this country—that is so divorced from the needs and wants of everyday people.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.
Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Three years ago today, the Supreme Court destroyed Roe v. Wade. Ever since, MAGA extremists have criminalized reproductive care at every turn. My bill with @repfletcher.bsky.social protects every woman's right to cross state lines to obtain health care.

Stephen Miller represents everything vile about this administration and drawing more attention to him will (a) make it harder for the administration to pretend this isn't creepy white nationalism in action and (b) likely make Trump jealous to the point he shitcans him like Elon.
Win-win.
Win-win.
More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.
