Folks, we’re living in a Second Gilded Age.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch. pic.twitter.com/86wYJar0YK

Never forget: Kevin McCarthy said, “I’ll give you the truth why I’m not speaker. It’s because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.” That member is Matt Gaetz.

NBC News: “Do you believe E. Jean Carroll?”

Stefanik: “No, of course not… The media is so biased. This is just another example of the media being out of touch.”

NBC News: “It’s not the media, it’s a jury that found he sexually abused E. Jean Carroll.”

In one way, Trump’s appointment of Matt Gaetz is quite conventional. He promised vengeance and retribution on the campaign trail — and this selection is a reminder that he intends to govern from that premise. On @OutFrontCNN with @ErinBurnett pic.twitter.com/Ckojshm9sg

Here’s a video produced by “Led by Donkeys” out of the U.K. that puts down the timeline of how Musk used X to get Donald Trump elected. I would save it because I don’t think it will be up for long. pic.twitter.com/cUpCL4ghMn

Elon Musk’s near-constant presence at Mar-a-Lago since President-elect Trump’s victory has begun to wear on people in Trump’s inner circle, sources say.

“He’s behaving as if he’s a co-president and making sure everyone knows it,” one person says. https://t.co/pF4u8SXj5c

Trump’s victory adds record $64bn to wealth of richest top 10 https://t.co/OknxrVKncI

Instead of taxing the rich whose wealth could have been used for some good, the US has simply added $64BN to them by electing Trump.

The fact that half of America will vote for a 34 time convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, unrepentant racist, pathological liar, and malignant narcissist, speaks to the unrelenting evil of white supremacy.

One of the most violent racist ideas is the notion that Latinos are hyper-sexual. Which feeds the racist notion that Latino immigrants are “rapists,” to use Trump’s term, justifying racist vigilante and police violence. The same idea feeds the racist notion that Latina immigrants… https://t.co/zJJAwbaSdl

This country was built on hard work by unpaid Black people who were exploited by rich white guys who took the credit.

Meanwhile, Trump inherited $400 million from his KKK daddy and Dr. Phil became famous because a Black woman gave him a platform. https://t.co/0v8Is9Dma6

When JD Vance says Kamala Harris isn’t “grateful” enough for America, he is repeating the same trope racist white folks have always offered: Black people aren’t grateful enough for all they’ve been “given” in this country. I have thoughts. A 🧵…

If you think the attacks on Kamala for not having any children are misogynistic, imagine if she had 5 kids by 3 different men.

Trump’s “No Tax on Tips” idea is just another scam.

When you look at the fine print of Ted Cruz’s bill enacting it–it would give NO tax cut to someone making $28,000.

But hedge fund managers, lawyers etc can convert their fees into “tips” and get giant tax breaks. pic.twitter.com/1ncpzKN7mn

One of the bleakest things you learn when studying American public policy is that many Whites voted to do without the things that nations far poorer than us take for granted just so that Black people would always have a little bit less. https://t.co/QeYunjOl7m
