Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Ad is such lies. Baumgartner's Trump-support voting record has repeatedly hurt his own constituents along w/WA state. 1 ex: he voted to cut healthcare - both medicaid & fed ACA subsidy and his district has one of the largest medicaid recipients, for billionaires' tax-cuts, cliche & evil

Thomas Massie risked his career to pass the most popular & consequential bipartisan legislation in modern history with me. He won young voters who believe the system is unfair by 45%. A new generation will build a movement against the corrupt status quo.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

Republicans weaponizing bigotry into laws, true of a lot our country's laws through the years. Though in modern times its the republicans still using that toxic method, some Dems politicians complicit w/ anti-socialism pledges & Dems' leaders like Schumer's bigotry against Mamdani in his race.

The company’s right-wing politics and eagerness to facilitate U.S. and Israeli military aggression abroad, NSA global surveillance, and ICE deportations has also made many weary of its access to incredibly sensitive personal data.

What about holding Trump to the same standards when he calls the press enemies of the people and calls for the execution of democratic leaders? JFC CNN have some fucking integrity

The Trump admin has made it difficult for even the most highly skilled people in the world to work in America. The denial rate for a green card for an alien with extraordinary ability nearly doubled to 46.6% by the end of FY 2025. @mclem.org @erikbryn.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

When I think of the billions and billions of dollars that have been pumped into Israel for years I wonder why Americans don’t get angry that their tax dollars have provided free healthcare, childcare, universities, etc. to Israel AND NOT TO AMERICANS THEMSELVES!!!!! .

Disgraceful! The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering. It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov And Trump just bombed it...

But what's next? Why no emulating French w/wide-spread strikes? Of course, workers don't have any of the protections they do in France & most European countries, incl govt healthcare. Maybe that's been a stealth way to keep masses subjugated too?

I have a crazy way of reporting on 'No Kings' that's different from the NYT...I go out and talk to protesters about what they think Sure, size matters, but so does the passion of a movement offering the 4-letter word that beats back dictators Hope My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

A certain skill set able to rig elections to get the guy in to serve their self-interest then? Dropping regulations, allowed to do whatever-the-hell, never mind the existential threats, the govt contracts, the billions added to personal wealth of the owners.

Here is what you need to know about the SAVE Act: 1. It started as a stunt to protect Mike Johnson's speakership. 2. It has evolved into a massive voter suppression bill. 3. It won't pass. 4. When it fails Trump will escalate. 5. We will fight and win. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

democracydocket.comThe SAVE Act started as a political stunt. Now it's a real threat.As we entered 2026, it became clear that Republicans were set up to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. What followed was predictable.

Senate Republicans are growing anxious about the midterms. They once felt like they had a glidepath to keep or even grow their majority in November, unlike in the House, where GOP control is razor-thin and members have become increasingly on edge about Democrats returning to power.
