Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

I'm proud to have been asked to appear on the BBC to discuss Donald Trump & the DOJ's failure to meet the December 19, 2025 deadline to produce the full Epstein Files. As a former federal prosecutor of sex trafficking, I felt a duty to express my outrage.

Remember when Presidents did national speeches for emergencies or times where a nation needs to hear from their leader?

I'm watching his speech and it's wild he has no idea what's going on in the country.
54% of Americans say they won't be able to pay for health care next year.
25% skipped a meal because they couldn't afford it.
The economy is good for billionaires. That's all he cares about.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate.
GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.
