Just listened to an interview with The New York Times' Sheryl Gay Stolberg. Someone who attended prep school with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recalled watching him place metal cutlery under the dining hall table and holding a lighter to them. This was so the boy clearing the table would burn his hands.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
