Holder: I don’t think Jim Comey stands any chance of being convicted. I think the same is true for Letitia James.

But to have a former insurance lawyer—someone who has never been a criminal prosecutor—present a case to a grand jury simply at the call of the President is extremely dangerous.

Voters across the country have chosen freedom over fascism - and sent a critical blow to this regime of the bullies, for the billionaires.
May these wins strengthen our resolve, power our resistance, and turbo charge our defiance.

Voters tonight said fuck this fascist shit. With Mamdani, they showed incredible courage to believe in change and a better future.

The work doesn’t end here, but everything begins with courage and if we are going to get out of this mess it’s going to take courage to believe in better.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

North Carolina Is the Canary in the Election Coal Mine

Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Despite the fact that it doesn't work for a good economy, GOP presidents keep pandering to the rich. Then Democratic presidents have to come in, tax the rich and save the economy.
