The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.Β 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.Β 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Trump fires at least 12 independent inspectors general, Washington Post reports U.S. President Donald Trump's administration fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies late on Friday, the Washington Post reported.

Firing independent watchdogs is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Removes another obstacle to corruption and abuse of power www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

They should look not just at the algos for posts, but also for political disinformation masquerading as ads. Their ads are a cesspool.

Trump’s candidates constitute an attempt to wreck the American government.
