100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.
But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.
It's up to us to demand something better.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Abolish ICE.
Abolish the prison industrial complex — and all prisons with it.
Abolish the police — and the cop in your mind.
Take care of each other.

I am often asked about my sincere belief in others & how that gives me hope.
Today @booker.senate.gov gave me hope. He was heroic. He is a helper.
As I say in my book Find The Helpers, what matters more than the moment is what we do next. Corey Booker just showed the way for what to do next.

May this be the start of a change back toward sanity, and finally toward progressiveness.
JUST IN: National Democrats sent in millions for the liberal's campaign while Trump endorsed — and Musk financed — the conservative's. Abortion, redistricting and Tesla could come before the court.
Trump and Musk's backing wasn't enough to flip Wisconsin Supreme Court
