How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Is this what we must look forward to with 47's DOGE hacks eliminating critical, life-saving programs?
This outbreak occurred in November, before the new regime took office. Not sure why it wasn't publicized - but with all the federal workforce reductions, we can expect more food contamination outbreaks that we won't know about until it's too late. #MomSky

Perhaps if Democrats had been more progressive and assertive in their attempts to counter ineffective Democratic officeholders, we'd be in a much healthier political space. Chuck Schumer, for example, has long ago outlived his effectiveness as a party leader. (1)

I hadn't been aware of this. Gratefully, this is the first year I didn't use TurboTax, and won't be using them again.
I'm sure this has *nothing* to do with the fact that Intuit, the company that owns TruboTax, which makes money off filing income taxes with the IRS, gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his inauguration slush fund. #Corruption
New, from me: The Trump administration is killing Direct File, the free IRS e-filing tool.
Users love it, and it creates incredible value for the public.
It's the clearest sign that DOGE wants a government that serves private and not public interests. 🧵

How about a Go Fund Me to purchase this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia?!
New: As the Trump admin ships people to El Salvador without due process, DOGE is readying the "Gold Card," a visa for anyone willing to pay $5 million.
Among those working on the new visa is Marko Elez, an engineer who has called for immigration based on eugenics.
