"The watchlist is not a little sunglasses icon. It is a scope with someone’s sight that you would think of on a gun for precision. That to me is terrifying. It is threatening. You don’t have to be very far between the lines, between figuring out what a watchlist might mean."

We’ve seen Democrats running about ten points ahead of their 2024 results. And an average of current polling shows Donald Trump’s approval at about 42 percent - almost ten points behind his approval when he was sworn in. lnk.thebulwark.com/4iPQg8E

When billionaires pay less in taxes than teachers, firefighters, & nurses, our system is broken.
My ROBINHOOD Act will make billionaires pay their fair share so we can invest hundreds of billions in working families. This is how we tackle wealth inequality & build an economy that works for all.

Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth have made stronger statements about the military's right to refuse illegal orders than I did. I'm glad that the 2016 version of Pete Hegseth understood the law and the UCMJ. I'm sorry that the 2025 version doesn't seem to care.

🚨Arresting US citizens who have not broken any laws is now acceptable practice in the United States of America. The only thing worse than being ICE is pretending that you don’t see what is happening to our neighbors. She isn’t a hero, she’s an American. 🇺🇸

The system is rigged – the rich keep getting richer, while the middle class pays for their tax cuts.
Jon Husted wants to keep it that way. That's why we've got to beat him in November.

How UMich is forcing a data center on Ypsilanti
The combined 144 acres the University seems to have settled on are agricultural or recreational use land. No one deserves to have their local park taken over by a data center.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

Since then, they've won over 650 union elections but Starbucks still hasn't negotiated a fair union contract.
Until then, don't cross the picket line. Show solidarity like Bernie and Zohran.
