Union membership means higher wages, better benefits and a more secure retirement for America’s workers. If we are going to save the middle class, we have got to expand union organizing in this country.
Well. If he’s spending the day worrying about limestone that’s another day he’s not blowing up the world
😂
Haha🤣 it’s crazy that this is relevant. It is such a joke
What next. 🥹🤣. I wonder what Newsom’s response will be.
The fundamental divide of the Democratic Party is between those who believe Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy and those who think he is very bad, but survivable.
That was one of trumps first missions as he tries to end democracy. Silence the press and make them irrelevant . FAKE NEWS after all. It seems only certain reporters are allowed to speak and attend briefings. But I’m not there so….
He IS a clown!
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
It reminds me of when he discovered the word “grocery”. He couldn’t use it enough. Now he found a new term he can throw around like he’s in the know. I bet he never heard the word until today and he just had to repeat it
Another day another dumb idea. Another assault on democracy. Such a petty man.
The National Park Service was created 109 years ago to protect and preserve our most treasured public lands. Some in Washington want to sell off our parks to big corporations, but I’ll always fight to make sure these lands stay with their rightful owner: the American people.
For 90 years, Social Security has paid out every benefit owed to every eligible American. Now Trump is working overtime to dismantle it. We won’t let them privatize Social Security. Instead, we must expand benefits and its solvency by making the wealthy pay their fair share.
Talarico owns Will Cain so hard that he has to tap out of their interview based on "time"
In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.
Megadonors are dominating election spending like never before, using their special access and outsized influence to warp policy in their favor. Here’s what can be done about it: bit.ly/4mcMsPL
“.. The monthly budget deficit came in at $291 billion, or 10% more than the same month a year before ..” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Here’s the simple truth that Donald Trump doesn’t want you to know: Climate change is making extreme weather disasters more frequent and severe. If we do not get our act together, this will only get worse.
This week, the VA ended collective bargaining for nearly all of its employees. The Trump administration has made it very clear that it does not want to be held accountable by anyone — especially unions. We will not sit by while they union-bust their way to a privatized VA.
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will spend more than $50 billion per year privatizing public schools in America. We should not have a two-tier education system — private schools for the rich & well-connected, severely underfunded public schools for low-income & working class kids.
More and more Democrats in Congress understand that spending billions of taxpayer dollars to starve children in Gaza is not acceptable. It’s time Republicans came on board. No more military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine.
Pritzker: "Gov. Abbott is the joke ... at a time when all of us are concerned about the future of democracy, he's literally helping whittle it away and licking the boots of his leader Donald Trump."
"Mishandling economic statistics or improperly accessing the confidential information used to compile them is a felony..." www.wsj.com/economy/trum...
The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth. That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%. One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED. This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.
Are the Epstein files on the roof?
I don’t watch tapper anymore. Especially after his book and the shameful way cnn promoted the book.
Me too!!
Are you ready for a radical idea? The function of our health care system should be to provide quality care for all, not huge profits for the insurance companies and the drug companies.
My thoughts on the Epstein files:
Trump is putting the planet and future generations at risk for the short-term profits of his fossil fuel executive friends.
"If you're a democratic official in this party, you support the person who wins the primary." – @jonfavs.bsky.social on Cuomo's campaign for NYC mayor.
Can I sue for millions? Or was it billions for CBS 60 minutes.
Apparently Fox deliberately edited a 2024 interview with Donald Trump to cut out his unwillingness to release the full Epstein files because of “phony” stuff in it. Check out what Trump said vs. how Fox edited it: via: @kfile.bsky.social; @semafor.com
A reminder: Stelson’s opponent, Scott Perry, was deeply complicit in Trump’s attempted coup.
The first American academics fleeing Donald Trump's America for France have arrived.
BREAKING: Senator Warnock calls Big Beautiful Bill “Socialism for the Rich”. 100% true!
It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college. That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.
👀
What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.
Ok. So worried about Peaceful Protests this weekend and wrote a little feel good song for myself. Please share. Please feel free to use any of my protest songs. My daughter immediately spotted my naughtiness. Call it stress. youtu.be/HSvQT-tkiBw?...
On June 6, 1944, 81 years ago, the US and allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Hitler’s tyrannic rule. These brave soldiers gave their lives to defend democracy. We must honor them by continuing the fight against authoritarianism and fascism in all its forms.
Trump is attacking the federalist society, Musk is attacking the big ugly bill and Congressional Republicans are attacking each other. House Democrats are fighting for you. The extremists are fighting each other.
Trump tactics are amping up.
Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.
I’m starting my annual walk across Connecticut today! Beginning in the very northwest corner of the state - Salisbury. I will talk to hundreds of people over the next few days about what they want (and don’t want!) from their elected leaders. My favorite week of the year!
"As Musk slinks away, spending went up, not down, during his tenure, and DOGE made the government less efficient, not more..." "A legacy of shattered institutions, weakened public services, and fired civil servants who did nothing but serve their country well..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Opinion: The debate over transgender rights is a liability for Democrats. Here’s how to neutralize it, writes @thirdway.bsky.social think tank co-founder Jonathan Cowan.
If we can afford to give another $664 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% and spend over $1 trillion on the Pentagon, we can afford health care for the working people of this country.
The curious case of Trump’s disappearing media transcripts - CNN
House Republicans are ripping food from the mouths of children. This has nothing to do with waste, fraud and abuse. Cruelty is the point.
I suffered thru an hour of the Vice Presidents smug bullshitting with Ross Douthat. Here’s a video annotation. youtu.be/rVPL2VYz3XA
I agree. He has lots of practice since almost everything he says seems to be 90% lies.
Conclusion While the expiration of the 2017 tax cuts would lead to higher taxes for many, the claim of a 68% increase is not substantiated by independent analyses. The figure appears to be a rhetorical device used by Trump to underscore the importance of passing his proposed tax legislation.

Interesting. It explains many of his tirades. I continually wonder how he can be so idiotic while seemingly so earnest in his knowledge.
The US desperately needs more doctors, engineers & highly educated workers. But we’re telling students that if they want a higher education, they have to go into debt. Other countries understand how important it is to invest in their young people. We should be doing the same.
I am always amazed at what people come up with.. 👇😂 8+6 + 4+7 = 25 (amendment)
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect
This shows the Republican tax plan is just a giveaway to the wealthiest Americans. Middle and lower income families might save a few bucks, but the rich… well, see for yourself.
What is happening in Gaza will be a permanent stain on the world's collective conscience. History will never forget how our government was complicit in enabling and sustaining this ongoing humanitarian disaster. We must end funding for the Netanyahu war machine.
If Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release, he will support legislation I will introduce to ensure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries. If we come together, we can get it passed in a few weeks.
NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!
So many layers of corruption.
The disastrous Republican reconciliation bill would cut Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act by $715 billion – throwing 13.7 million Americans off of Medicaid & the health insurance they currently have – in order to give a $1.2 trillion tax break to the top 1%. It must be defeated.
The voting section of the U.S. Department of Justice has only three attorneys left on staff, according to an estimate provided by a group working to support the department’s remaining staff.👀 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
REPORTER: What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you? TRUMP: You're ABC fake news, right? Let me tell you -- you should be embarrassed asking that question. They're giving us a free jet ... when they give you a putt, you pick it up and you walk to the next hole
There are things every one of us can do in our daily lives to help ensure free and fair elections — and, in doing so, limit Trump’s power. Some actions are small — so small that you might dismiss them as unimportant. Don’t. Every important journey begins with a single step.
Opinion: Trump’s revisionist WWII celebration disrespects those who sacrificed for victory, writes former White House speechwriter Jonathan Horn.
The random programmatic ads that show up on our podcast included some nasty BS from Kristy Noem. I had some thoughts to share on the topic.
🚨BREAKING: Three judge panel with 2 Trump appointees STRIKES DOWN Alabama congressional map for violating Constitution and VRA. Court finds Alabama INTENTIONALLY discriminated against Black voters. Proud of ELG team and our clients in this historic fight! www.democracydocket.com/cases/alabam...
THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.
"In March, the Trump administration cut $1 billion from Department of Agriculture programs that provide food to schools and food banks and said there would be future cuts to other programs..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Walter Cronkite, who was described as the most trusted man in America, once said: “Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.” Paramount: Stand up for a free press and our democracy. Do not capitulate to Trump's dangerous move to authoritarianism.
He Literally Said This Out Loud
They say they’re “bringing back jobs,” but what they really want is a desperate, powerless workforce with no healthcare, no unions, and no future — just the way Wall Street likes it… hartmannreport.com/p/the-great-...
Literally why the Impeachment Clause exists
“They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5.”
64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.
Foreign films are a national security threat? We’re shaking our heads. We’d laugh if this wasn’t such dangerous, authoritarian rhetoric. What other countries do this? Russia and China.
Trump wants to get rid of Veterans Day. I’m not surprised.
Action items for Democrats in Congress from @tommalinowski.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/make-it-pa...
Workers are not asking to get rich. They just want to afford three meals a day. In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should work for starvation wages. It is time to raise the disgraceful $7.25/hr federal minimum wage to a living wage of AT LEAST $17/hr.
@maddow.msnbc.com Thanks for covering this evening the human banner featured in the LA Times' front page, but to clarify...the Impeach & Remove banner was on Ocean Beach in beautiful San Francisco!! All credit to Brad and Travis. Thanks. @msnbc.com www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
Happy Easter to all. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian, or a vegetarian — Gabby and I hope you have a wonderful day.
A strong trade union movement improves the standard of living for all people. There is a reason why we are the only major country not to guarantee health care for all or have paid family and medical leave. We must grow the trade union movement in the United States.
The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest. It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.
