You know what would actually help the housing crisis? According to the AFL-CIO, the average CEO to worker pay ratio (for S&P 500 companies) was 285-1. And since 1978, CEO pay has soared 1,085% compared to typical workers pay, which has increased 24%. Tax the rich, pay workers.

Republicans control the Senate But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
New in PN: RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode "What’s really notable is the extent to which GOP leaders have remained supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago."
We have similar issue here.
I love this guy
As a new school year begins, I would like to wish all of the TEACHERS in classrooms across America, a fantastic new school year! We see you! We see your devotion, patience, & love for your students. Often underpaid & overworked, you deserve our admiration & support always! #supportteachers #Pinks
Susan Collins is in some serious trouble…
Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?
Good. I always liked him.
I think he’s dead.
Trump usually doesn’t stand so close to people.

Trump’s mysterious disappearance from public raises new questions about Joe Biden’s advanced age
BREAKING: Chicago just showed Trump what resistance looks like — tens of thousands taking the streets, shoulder-to-shoulder, loud as hell. He thought he could bully this city? Nah. Wrong fucking move.
It seems like Trump always has a hat on these days in every picture. I wonder what's up with that. Did they remove what's left of his brain. It could have been an outpatient procedure.
Oh pleeze! This statement just make RFKjr look stupid.
Details please!
That's the of many of our problems. Starting with Reagan, anti-competitive merger regulations were gutted across all industries. That's why we have these gargantuan companies today.
That’s a problem
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
Where is Trump's left arm. #TrumpHealthCoverup
I'm not sure he wrote that. He may have told someone what to write, but it seems more grammatically correct than what's normal for him.
Does Gislaine Maxwell know what "inappropriate" is? Her definition is likely different from the mainstream.
While the U.S. spent a half a billion dollars painting a fence black on their side, Mexico invited artists to paint their side to express their artistic talent. 💗 The contrast between the two countries highlights each country’s priorities.
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
Shouldn't be.

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.

It looks like Trump is being supported. He seems to be leaning against Fredericks.
Just visited the ruins of the Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island. I was looking for a sign announcing that RFK Jr. will begin renovations soon because, you know: Make Smallpox Great Again.
IF YOU DIDN’T HEAR ANY OF THIS IT IS BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO. PUTIN DID NOT WANT YOU TO, EITHER. READ THESE THINGS NOW. LOOK AT HER FACE. READ HER CASE. ALL THE COUNTLESS OTHERS. HE IS A PEDOPHILE FELON RAPIST ABUSER PUTIN PUPPET. GET THEM ALL OUT.

Trump has the White House press pool held at the tennis center of his Virginia golf club. They can’t see him or the golf course from there.
The assault on black women in power by this regime must end! If Trump thinks he is going to bully and threaten this organization, he better think again! This pattern of abuse that is snaking through this country has gone on long enough!
BREAKING plane carrying EU chief Ursula von der Leyen hit by suspected Russian GPS jamming while landing in Bulgaria.

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
We have a corrupt #@SCOTUS. These Republican appointed judges are lying hypocrites with no integrity. They should be disbarred. IF Democrats every have governmental control again they need to impeach several judges and expand the court to 13.
ICYMI — JUDGE: “This case represents the consequences of a decades long drumbeat of anti-immigrant sentiment and misinformation being broadcast & broadcast & broadcast…” 2 immigrants shot in Washington, gunman sentenced in June. Barely even a story. 🤷🏻♂️ www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/g...

Hey, RFK Jr. See this? Because millions of us in the past have these, smallpox is nonexistent. It was eradicated. Before these, millions upon millions of people died of this disease. That is how reality works. That is how science works. Resign. You have no business in that job. You are not a doctor.

What? Not a drag performance artist? Not a liberal do gooder? MAGA AGAIN? Feel like this might represent a trend.
A Reminder, women were unable to get business loans at banks without a man co-signing before 1988. A Democrat led Congress passed a law called the “Women's Business Ownership Act”, on October 25th, 1988, that gave women that right. - Let's not go backwards...👀 #Vote #MidTerms
We’ve been lied to our whole lives. The maps we grew up with shrink Africa down, making it look so much smaller than it really is. The truth: Africa is massive. You can fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and most of Europe inside it—and still have room left over.
The African Union is demanding a new, accurate world map. Time to see the world as it really is.
Notice that this dangerous mother RFK Jr doesn't say he means a decrease
Thiel's power grab is already upending the world. Remember yesterday's scandal, that the Trump admin has been running active measures against our NATO ally Denmark, to get Greenland to secede? That's a Thiel mad-king project too: our ambassador to DK is Peter Thiel's close friend Ken Howery. 7/
