81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Keeping my fingers crossed.
The irony of Trump dismissing the Epstein files as a “hoax”, usurping the power of Congress, and trampling on the DOJ’s independence is that any attempt to stop the release of files only adds to the appearance of a cover up.
Trump's desire for control could be his undoing.

The Trump Administration is saying its $20 billion bailout for Argentina is classified.
Give me a break. Trump just wants to hide the receipts.
Americans deserve to know where their money went.

The system is rigged — and Trump wants to keep it that way because his own power depends on it.
What drives Trump is simple: he cares more about protecting the interests of those with power than those with none.
So when he lashes out about “Epsteingate,” understand why.

The old guard has to go.
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1 wish—then wish for something they think Republicans will like
Democrats continue to prove the stereotype of being feckless appeasers, and we're all worse off for it. We need a true opposition party more than ever—because this aint it

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. That’s the kind of courage we need right now.

This is absurd and plainly illegal. The courts should reject this fringe theory.
But the real news here is Trump will do anything to try to kill an agency that has returned more than $21 billion to scammed Americans, but he'll do nothing to lower costs for American families.

The party has a choice to make. This will either be an inflection point toward a material change in approach and representation, or it will be the straw that broke the backs of millions. We are too exhausted to match their glib descriptions of infighters. There is no one left to blame.

Here's a gift link, because I am furious about this. Everyone needs to ask Josh Hawley about this provision AND call him out for lying when he claims his phone was "tapped." Call logs are not phone taps.

We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans just don't care about your health care.

This is another wealth transfer, because the DOJ won't defend these suits, they'll settle. This is a $500k payout to the Jan 6ers in Congress.
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

The current (old) party leadership has got to go.
Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?
