lol I'll end by saying the antidote to this billionaire brain madness is community action.

If we want something better, we have the collective power to demand it. If there is a will, there will be plenty of ways. (I talk about this in my book #TheDoubleTax, which is out now!)
Refusing to feed people while building a massive ballroom is a fast track to eat the rich. No pun intended.

Trump’s policies have been a “perfect storm of ugly” for farmers: health care costs are skyrocketing and tariffs are raising input costs while closing off markets.

The admin shouldn’t give Argentina a $20 billion bailout when it’s further undercutting our farmers.

Competitive bidding for government contracts ensures taxpayers get the best deal. Given the concerning allegations about Tom Homan's bribery investigation, Committee Democrats are pressing Sec. Noem to release information on whether he may have unfairly influenced DHS contracts.

Republicans know that if they have to face voters on their record, they’ll lose.

Proud to stand with Hoosier Democrats yesterday to say politics doesn’t have to be about these absurd games. It should be about you, and about making everyday life better.

ICE is targeting community members with no criminal record. Agents are sitting outside of churches and schools. Driving unmarked vans and breaking car windows.

These violent ICE arrests don't make us safer — they intentionally stoke fear and tear communities apart.

The federal government has long promised immigration protections to military families.

Now, Donald Trump is breaking that promise and sending ICE after them.

He's betraying the people who served our country bravely and their loved ones. I won't let that stand.

On left:

ABC: Ghislaine Maxwell told "Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern."

On right:

Maxwell said same about Epstein, under oath.

DOJ 2022: "Simply put, the defendant lies when it suits her."

Whatever is the truth, she's no source for it.

Reminder that as a corporate lobbyist, Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM.

She also represented the government of Qatar and ICE contractor GEO Group.

"Conflicts of interest" is an understatement.

This is yet another example of Trump working hard to raises prices as a matter of policy.
Completely not occupying reality. Solar and wind are still economical without the subsidies and you basically cannot scale our grid without them. Just completely delusional.

Today, Republicans made clear they are more afraid of Trump than the People.

They’ve pledged allegiance not to America, but to the Trump regime and its billionaire backers.

This is a betrayal—and a mistake.

America is resilient, and the people will not go quietly.

This fight has only just begun.

There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries.

RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing.

We will not back down.

No judge should be worried about their personal safety when they’re deciding a case. That’s how the rule of law ends.
