BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Rather than cite “DEI”—write out the words.

Diversity
Equity
Inclusion

Because if you’re against DEI, THAT’S what you’re against.

Don’t let folks hide behind the initials.

Social Security is not charity. People pay into it their entire working lives.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to rip it away—and I’m fighting back.

it's going to be particularly dangerous for, ironically though perhaps intentionally, jewish americans, as the term "antisemitism" becomes more and more semantically bleached & associated with trump's fascism.

@npr.org you know they aren't talking about actual antisemitism and you are free to write a headline that accurately portrays this smokescreen for what it is.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

What Is Donald Trump doing about the antisemitism of his advisor and confidant, Laura Loomer? He uses "fighting antisemitism" to justify threatening universities and to arrest and imprison people with no due process. He "protects" the slaughter and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

Opinion | Sorry, Laura Loomer. You found the wrong Mark Cohen.
She also accused my former employer of using taxpayer money to facilitate a U.S. invasion.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”

She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

The GOP Congressman in Michigan’s 10th district is one of many who are refusing to do town hall meetings with voters.

So my friend @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I are heading there on Saturday to make sure every American has a chance to hear about the Trump and Musk’s corruption.

Governor leading the charge
Over the next week, I'll lead an Illinois delegation to Mexico to deepen our economic ties and foster greater cooperation.

I look forward to showcasing what our great state offers businesses in North America and worldwide.

Trump, Musk and Republicans in Congress are gutting services, raising prices, and racing towards slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other life-saving programs. It’s time to fight back. app.sosha.ai/s/8pUgtaE7

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there"

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Folks, I'm hitting the road this week and traveling across Illinois to see how Donald Trump’s cuts are hurting our farmers, families, and so many more in our state.

It's time the President heard straight from the source what he's doing to Illinoisans.
