A new type of playbook is becoming more frequent. A baseless investigation launches. Legal intimidation is then battle-tested while draining the target’s resources. Other investigations come, with a sharpened strategy to overwhelm and attack those with disagreeable views. apnews.com/article/west...

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Mike Rogers and Republicans tried Islamophobic attacks and disinformation on Abdul El-Sayed. Michiganders are lining up for his rally with Barack Obama instead. Their bigotry is flopping in public and everyone can see it.

I don’t think the Islamophobic attacks and disinformation are having the effect Mike Rogers and Republicans thought it would. 📌 Michiganders lining up for the Abdul El-Sayed and Barack Obama rally. #BlueWaveIn10Days

He’s Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed, why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy up major media, and why our government shouldn’t give them huge military contracts.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who's spent $100M+ against California's Prop 40, spent the weekend dining with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. These billionaires keep accidentally proving why we need a billionaire wealth tax.

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.
