Exciting news, friends! I recently had a thought-provoking conversation with the brilliant Robert Reich, where we delved into the intricate web of late-stage capitalism, wealth inequality, and the imperative for change. We explored the myths surrounding billionaires and the real factors contributing to the wealth gap.

Join us in this enlightening discussion by reading the full interview on my Substack, #TheBigPicture. Let's work together to create a better future for all. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/big-questions-answers-robert-reich

Oh wow. Jake Tapper just directed CNN control room to get rid of #Trump's visit to cafe after arraignment: "I don't need to see any more of that. He's trying to turn it into a spectacle..Enough of that. We've seen it already." This is good. More plz.

AND Nicolle Wallace also did same on MSNBC. This is good & media should do this from now on. Don't give Trump attention he desperately craves & wants. There are much better things to show than Trump trying to celebrate this moment

BREAKING: Harlan Crow and his family's average yearly political contributions went up 862% after Citizens United was decided in 2010.

Who provided a deciding vote for that case?

Justice Clarence Thomas, a "family friend" they showered with luxury travel and gifts for 20+ years.

NPR is the only major journalism org to have shown a spine in dealing with Musk. So he's threatened to give the NPR username to someone else.

Yet even now -- despite Musk's growing contempt for and acts against journalism -- most media organizations and their employees STILL pour their work and some of their advertising money in to his rancid site.

What will it take for journalists to wake the hell up?
