I prefer to think that a government is for everyone, not just the few white wealthy men. I will do what’s necessary to protect the poor, the tired, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free

I'm proud to help lead the United Nations' #COP30 Local Leaders Forum next month in Brazil.

Regional leaders — from mayors to governors — are uniquely able to turn ambitious plans to tackle the climate crisis into reality at the local level.

California is all-hands-on-deck in this fight.

Q: A pardoned January 6 rioter was charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries

MIKE JOHNSON: Terrible. That's the first I've heard of that. I don't know anything about it.

Nearly 2 million Illinoisans will see their SNAP benefits run out on November 1st—
 
But Trump has no problem spending money to build his ballroom, bail out Argentina and buy Kristi Noem two private jets.

Thanks to Donald Trump and his MAGA lapdogs in Congress, the government shutdown is going to deprive millions of Californians in need of their November food benefits.

It is long past time for the GOP to grow a spine, stand up to Trump, and stop endangering people's lives.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

He ruins everything he touches.
A tweet from The Washington Post reads: “Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House to build President Trump’s long-desired ballroom — despite his pledge that construction of the $250 million addition wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing building.” Below the text is a photo showing an excavator tearing into a section of the White House, with debris scattered and part of the structure partially demolished.

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Trump’s new ballroom you’re paying for is going to be bigger than the White House itself. Because he believes he is more important than the country.

The symbolism is disgraceful and obvious. Again: Republicans would lose their minds if Obama did this.

So even though we now all know @GovBillLee was lying about the arrests in MEMPHIS being mostly violent criminals, Speaker Sexton continues to claim otherwise.

How is their lying not the story now?

Big Tech oligarchs are coming for your job.

Jeff Bezos will be replacing 600,000 jobs at Amazon with robots. His vision: fully automate operations.

Amazon's not alone. That's the direction of every major corporation.

AI & robotics must benefit workers, not the top 1%.

Amazon, the second largest employer in the U.S., aims to replace more than half a million jobs with robots, internal documents show.

Cost of the Argentina bailout Trump is trying to finance: $40B.

That same amount could fund almost two years of extended ACA subsidies, or two years of full SNAP benefits, or nearly all of the annual Medicare cuts from Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Priorities.

Under Trump, wealthy Americans are getting ahead while everyone else is falling behind.

We’ve known for a while but this makes it official: Trump is a shit-poster.
A news headline reads: “Trump Shares AI Video of Feces-Dropping Jet on ‘No Kings’ Protesters.” The subheadline says that President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social depicting himself as “King Trump,” piloting a jet that drops sludge resembling feces on crowds at nationwide “No Kings” rallies protesting his policies.
