The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Trump’s EPA wants to roll back standards regulating pollutants from burning fossil fuels, like car exhaust and methane. Meanwhile, 17 staffers in his White House own up to $2.2 million of stock in Big Oil companies. They’re getting rich off polluting the planet.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

A U.S. citizen and former Marine detained. A 15-year-old boy with no criminal record held at "Alligator Alcatraz." A father who has lived here for 30 years. No criminal record. Still held by ICE after nearly 6 months. We are witnessing the cruelty of Trump's police state.

A Trump-appointed judge overturned a Biden-era rule that removed medical debt from credit reports. The ruling came days after Republicans voted to kick millions of Americans off healthcare – which will likely cause medical debt to skyrocket. A perfect storm of cruelty.

Here is the lesson Democrats should learn from @ZohranKMamdani's resounding win last night: Now is the time for the party to take on Big Money and fight for working people, not capitulate to corporate interests or "move to the center."

The biggest political divide in America isn't "left" versus "right." It's the American people versus the oligarchy.
