Dear Pete, Donald, MAGA etc:

“What will it profit a man if he gains the world and loses his soul”

We are selling out our nation, our future, our morality, for the ego and wealth of a 79 year old man.

🚨 Palantir CEO Alex Karp falsely said today that Trump won the 2024 election "in a landslide."

Andrew Ross Sorkin, interviewing Karp at the NYT Dealbook Summit, didn't fact check him.

Trump won the popular vote by one of the smallest margins since the 19th century.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.

That makes 214.

We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

Trump now says affordability is a “Democratic Hoax.” Think of that next time you check out at the grocery store and see that receipt.

The Trump admin has been quietly pressuring Europe to not seize the Russian billions for Ukraine. He fully intends to give it back to Russia and likely will find a way to profit himself.

Shame on America, and shame on Europe

Donald Trump woke up after sleeping through most of a Cabinet meeting to insult the entire Somali community. Trump is by far the most divisive force in the world today. His racism and hate drives his every act. #ProudBlue
Trump on Minnesota's Somali community: "They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you."

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Trump has fired or pushed out more than 100 immigration judges since January and just paused all asylum decisions.

This was never about “legal immigration.” It was always about cruelty. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RawjSlMiR_g

This is why labor laws are so important — and exactly why big corporations spend so much money lobbying against them.

It's also why unions are vital — and why we need to support @sbworkersunited.org's fight against corporate greed.

NEW: For years, NYC Starbucks workers have claimed that the company has arbitrarily cut their hours, denying them stable schedules. In a historic settlement announced today, Starbucks has to pay out $35 million to 15,000 workers.
