Rev. Jesse Jackson built the Rainbow Coalition as a political home rooted in dignity and solidarity. That struggle continues here in New York City, in every fight for housing, justice, and equality.

Today, we lower our flags in his honor — and recommit to the movement he called us to build.

People tend to associate democratic erosion with election interference and violent police crackdowns. But there’s a quieter tell that a democracy is endangered: the dissolution of laws that protect public money

Look, this is the singular theme of my campaign:

Whatever your policy priorities & preferences may be, we won’t get there until we have an exec branch that obeys the law..a president who obeys his oath
IMPEACH. THEM. ALL.
We need a Congress that will execute the power and the duty given to it by the Constitution to address lawless presidents and miscreant executive officials. In other words: IMPEACH. THEM. ALL.

Walmart wants $50 for two steaks, the farmer sees maybe $5, and Trump’s billionaire buddies in meatpacking and grocery monopolies pocket the rest.

Sky‑high prices, squeezed farmers, record corporate profits—that’s the “great deal” we got.

Of course. He's never going to do anything to turn Putin against him.
Trump is delaying a decision on the bill tightening anti-Russian sanctions, Semafor reports. The legislation, introduced by Blumenthal and Graham, would impose sanctions on Russia's energy sector. Blumenthal says Trump is the only obstacle to advancing the sanctions package.

It's hard to believe that you could be the trade representative for a major power and not know that tariffs are regressive.

My econ 101 students know what the word regressive means, and that tariffs are regressive. Many could even cite studies on the subject.
Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on tariffs: "It's not regressive. Most consumption in America is done by the wealthiest people. So the idea it's somehow regressive is just wrong."
