This video will probably get fewer likes than my posts on taxing billionaires. That difference says it all. Factory farming only survives if we don’t look. It’s time to hold these companies accountable. Every donation is matched, so $1 becomes $2 through Dec 31, 2025. Donate: MoralAmbition.org/food

Yes. We must extend the ACA tax credits so that over 20 million Americans don't see a doubling in their health premiums, on average. But we must do more. We cannot remain the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right.

We must pass Medicare for All.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Bringing this back just to reiterate how bad of a leader Schumer has been. He didn’t get a compromise because Dems get little to nothing out of this. He pretty much agreed to take the blame for the shutdown in exchange for a fake vote that won’t even lead to real action or healthcare protections.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries might go down as the worst leaders of any party in modern history. I can't think of anyone who comes close to their ineptness, foolishness, ineffectiveness, and weakness. I don't know that they could be worse or do worse if they tried.

The woman who runs "Hot Girls For Cuomo" is a MAGA ally of Trump & takes $7K per post from the Israeli Govt to whitewash genocide

Dems like Schumer & Gillibrand who still won't endorse Mamdani are telling us they'd rather have a pro genocide Trump puppet than the literal Dem nominee b/c he's Muslim

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

Hamas leadership just announced they killed 27 people in broad daylight because—wait, my mistake.

Trump announces he's drone killed 27 Venezuelans on boats, claiming without evidence that they were "narcoterrorists," & refusing to answer what gives him authority.

He WILL deploy this on US citizens

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.
The military has now killed 27 people as if they were enemy soldiers in a war zone and not criminal suspects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

Fun fact: until I was appreciably into my 20s, I thought they were called oncologists because they were always “on call.”

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

This morning Minnesota Republicans introduced a bill banning mRNA vaccines and labeling them "weapons of mass destruction." It would make manufacturing, possessing or administering them a crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/bill.p...

So, this isn't going to be popular: but the people who told me to calm down about Roe were Democrats. They said Republicans would never overturn it because it was a wedge issue for them. They needed it. So Obama didn't need to codify it (the implication being that we needed it for the same reason).
the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed
