We love it when Republicans steal our good ideas to help everyday families like cutting TN's grocery tax.

But they also deleted the fiscally responsible part of our bill, offering no way to pay for it. So the GOP bill cuts the grocery tax — and cuts funding for roads & schools.

It’s not that we can’t afford universal health care. It’s that we can’t afford not to do it. #MedicareForAll

We pay the most, but our life expectancy does not reflect it. 🇺🇸

Notably: None of the countries with Universal Health Care have decided to get rid of it.

Trump’s FBI Director nominee Kash Patel said he will prosecute and jail Americans who Trump deems “the enemy”: “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

Trump is seizing control of the investigative and prosecutorial powers of the state by staffing them with the most conspiratorial and blindly loyal nominees : Gaetz/Bondi, Patel, Gabbard.

Political retribution is his priority. The rest of governing he doesn’t care about.

This is a tragedy. Bill Freeman was a great man who made such an impact on Nashville. He was a great philanthropist and impacted the lives of many people. We crossed paths several times in politics. His son Representative Bob Freeman is carrying on the family legacy. My prayers are with his family.

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

Friends, I’m delighted to see how many of you have joined me here on Bluesky.

I thought I’d take a moment to share my course, Wealth and Poverty, which I released in its entirety on YouTube not too long ago.

Now, perhaps more than ever, I hope you’ll consider joining me in the classroom.
