One of the richest men in the 1920s was Andrew Mellon — an early prophet of trickle-down economics.

Yesterday we learned that his grandson, Timothy Mellon, gave a Trump super PAC one of the largest political donations ever.

This is how dynastic wealth works.

Wealth tax now.

@rbreich False prophets and trickle-down economics. A pox on them.

The DOT regulated junk fees. Airlines are suing.

The CFPB capped credit card fees. Banks are suing.

Medicare is negotiating drug prices. Pharma is suing.

The FTC banned noncompetes. Business groups are suing.

Corporate America can't stand government working for the people.

@rbreich So you could say, that the corporates are overthrowing the USA using Trump and the Republicans as puppets. Revolutions don't have to be violent to succeed.

"If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her." -Donald J. Trump, 3/6/'06

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads NOT contemplating dating their daughters.

75% of voters support a binding ethics code for the Supreme Court.

They're tired of justices receiving millions of dollars in gifts from political donors, some of whom have cases before the court.

So why did Senate Republicans block a SCOTUS ethics bill yesterday?

Hello?

@rbreich Because someone who is beholding to you is more controllable, and control is what it's all about

All nine Republican senators running for reelection this year just voted against the right to contraception:

John Barrasso
Marsha Blackburn
Kevin Cramer
Ted Cruz
Deb Fischer
Josh Hawley
Pete Ricketts
Rick Scott
Roger Wicker

So much for the party of "freedom."

Billionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts.

As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.

@rbreich New Zealand's ex Prime Minister John Key allowed Peter Theil to buy New Zealand citizenship without ever having residency. This particular corrupt and creepy politician now lives outside of New Zealand.

@georgetakei I refuse loyalty cards. Am sick and tired of handing over information about myself. You don't save much anyway.

The Appeal to Heaven flag isn't just tied to Jan 6.

It's a Christian nationalist symbol.

Christian nationalists believe that the law of the land is not the Constitution, but instead the law of God as they interpret it.

Do you see the problem with Alito flying this flag?

@rbreich Yeah, but then I think he is MAD.
