From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Exactly right. Why should we respect a president who doesn’t respect the constitution he swore an oath to uphold?

The Trump administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere, with bombs or missiles or drones, for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided. Not great. Or constitutional, or American.
Under Trump, the Law Is Just a Speed Bump
The president’s spurning of the War Powers Act is just his latest claim that he can wield deadly force outside the law.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

I just called Senator Mark Warner and urged him to vote no. I called Senator Tim Kaine but his office is closed on Sunday and they don't take messages. America!
Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.
The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

Inflation is on the rise — particularly at the grocery store.
One big reason why?
Minimal competition opens the door to maximal price-gouging — and the opportunity to pull shady tricks like this. https://youtu.be/ad5GfgrPkYo?si=iDRiVN9_TsjGsD9k

The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny.
Some decry this view as "socialism."

IFour hours this has been up - lots of different answers. It is not an easy question, particularly in the civilian context (which was the point here, although not made clear enough). No clear answer. This is why it matters who is in charge! Recommend: www.brookings.edu/articles/the...

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

If Schiff is indicted, it would mark the first time Trump’s pursuit of political adversaries has directly affected a sitting member of the Senate.

Donald Trump claims to be "Pro-Life." Indeed, he was the first sitting president to attend the annual March for Life.
But this didn't stop him from conspiring with Elon Musk to kill 600,000 (so far) people, 2/3 of them children. You see, when Elon says we need more children he means *white* ones.

This is good, and should actually make us feel better.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because she’s playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. 👀
