Democracy or Pharma-cracy? In just 3 months Big Pharma's lobbyists spent a record $12.9M to buy influence as Trump policies lined its pockets. Get ready for higher prices, hurting us all.

The real Dem divide isn’t left vs. moderate—it’s backbone vs. passivity.

PCCC co-founder @adamgreen321.bsky.social told @igorbobic.bsky.social "a prerequisite for being applauded in this moment is the willingness to take risks," says all Dems should take bold actions like Sen @vanhollen.senate.gov.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands.

It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

The latest from me: I so enjoyed being on the Kiros Report to talk living democracy, money in politics, finding hope, and more--critical topics during a dark time. What a pleasure, as always, to speak with Teodros!

Trump slashing the Natl Weather Service hits me hard. My dad was the forecaster at the Service who saved many lives as the first to spot the deadly tornado that killed many in Dallas in Ft Worth in 1964. He saved lives and that's why we must protect NWS!

TOMORROW: The House is expected to vote on the GOP's voter suppression bill. To protect fair elections in 2026, we must stop H.R. 22 (we're calling it the "Silencing Americans Act"). Contact your representative ASAP and urge them to vote NO: act.indivisible.org/...

It's unthinkable but true -- by next year the US might no longer be a democracy. This alarming news from the Varieties of Democracy project doesn't even include the past month of the Trump admin's actions.

Entire government agencies are being reshaped, career experts are leaving and power is shifting — often behind closed doors.

ProPublica is investigating.

A critical point.

Captures it perfectly.

Much like despots before him, Trump is rewriting history to justify some of his worst plans.

BREAKING: Trump was just inaugurated, and we just filed our first lawsuit against the new administration.

We're not going to let him skirt the law.

Public Citizen, AFGE, & SDD Fund are suing President Trump to ensure that his administration complies with the law.
