GM announced a plan to do $20 billion in share buybacks... and the United Auto Workers is justifiably very upset. UAW President Shawn Fain condemned the buyback as "outrageous." 🧵

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Another fight over who controls the nation’s purse strings. The White House announced that it plans to cancel $810 million in spending already approved by Congress, using a rarely used maneuver known as a “pocket rescission.”

Trump buys stock & goes on TV to pump it up 45 minutes later. Then he charges people $100,000 a month for the tip-off so they can get in on his insider trading scheme. Rep. Raskin just laid out how Don the Con violated the STOCK Act twice in one scam. #HoldTheCrooksAccountable

Somebody needs to grab Scott Bessent by the throat and force-feed him reality: Trump's tariffs are nothing but a straight-up tax on the American people. The shameless lying and gaslighting from this fascist authoritarian regime is truly next-level.

Biden's Part D subsidy kept drug premiums stable for seniors. But the Trump regime is ending it after 2026, bc it’s not needed? W/tariffs & the Iran War, costs are ⬆️, & seniors on fixed incomes face real strain—now drug prices could rise sharply. Vote for Dems in Nov who'll protect affordability.

How many children would Jesus starve? Yet an estimated 1.5 million children have lost SNAP assistance since Trump and congressional Republicans enacted their 2025 law. Trump can sign, sell, and wave Bibles, but a movement that takes food from children has abandoned the teachings of Christ. #WWJD

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

You are far better off reading the front the section of the NYT or WSJ or the WP. Even now. Local papers died because local readers won't buy them. TV and the internet ate their brains.

The plan is for this plane to be in service for two years and then Trump will take if for himself. No President has ever stolen an Air Force for himself. And you paid for it. The total cost could be $1 billion of your money for a new luxury jet for Trump and his family.
