Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!

Proud dad moment. Congratulations, Gus!

Pharmacy benefit managers’ business practices have operated with little regulation, transparency, and accountability for far too long. Illinois is putting an end to that and leading the nation in bringing transparency to PBM drug pricing.

Y’all— Senator Lankford admits 11 million will be kicked off Medicaid, but says they’re just “transitioning to employer-provided insurance” Republicans still don’t get it: NOT EVERY EMPLOYER PROVIDES INSURANCE Also: we shouldn’t rely on bosses to stay alive. #MedicareForAll

BOSTON’s Mayor Wu rips ICE for hiding behind masks.

Rep. Crockett IS THAT GIRL!!! She speaks the truth with exacting precision *in laypersons terms*. If the @housedemocrats.bsky.social are smart, they will make @repjasmine.bsky.social the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. She is one of the most effective communicators we have!

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity. True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Spare us the fake outrage.

Yep! That’s The Guy! Reeks Of Hypocrisy….

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Take a few minutes for this one—because you might need FEMA in the near future, and you need to know what’s currently going on. Or not going on. Thank you, @repjasmine.bsky.social for telling it straight, sounding the alarm, and sharing how we can help.

"We don't take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.…we take an oath to the Constitution.…and we're willing to die to protect it" - Mark Milley, 2023 #MemorialDay

May your Memorial Day be sacred.

You didn’t believe Trump really gave a damn about West Point grads, did you?

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

EU president, Ursula von der Laien, said "Unhappy with the agreement? Fine, let's talk about it, but drop the attitude - we don't respond to threats" and Drumpty clawed back the tariffs. From what he said he wanted to achieve, he failed. Again.

Trump’s sudden diktat targeting Harvard and the roughly 7,000 foreign students it admits each year (out of 25,000 students in all) is lawless and stupid. A court put it on hold within a couple hours and is poised to strike it down soon after this Thursday’s hearing. x.com/piyushmittal...

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. When we fight, we win.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Can’t wait to become president so I can enact 666% tariffs on Fox News

I believe in science

Thank you to Southern University at New Orleans for the honor of serving as your 2025 commencement speaker, and for the incredible gift of an honorary doctorate. To the graduates: They underestimated SUNO. They underestimated you. But you pushed through every obstacle, every setback, & still rose.

"Do you all ever get tired of being on the wrong side of history?" Yes. Fuck. Them. Up.

Rachel Cohen on resigning from Skadden: I would say to people: We’re going to end up staffed on financings to help prison corporations expand the Guantánamo Bay camp. Every single person I said that to responded, “Oh, don’t say that.” Not one person said, “No, we won’t.” A few even said, “Yes.”

#GVerse #FeelGoodMoment: #MyPresidentJoeBiden got the love & respect he deserves at the airport.

Moskowitz: They have no brakes. They’re drunk with power. And the only way we’re going to send a message to them—the only way we’re going to be able to put brakes on this and stop it—is to make Hakeem Jeffries Speaker.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Expert: Russia Sees Trump’s Call to Annex Canada as Validation of Its Imperialist Agenda "In this video, we examine how Russian state media, an appendage of the Kremlin, is cheering Trump’s call to annex Canada as validation of its own imperialism. www.youtube.com/shorts/o47bT...

There's always a tweet.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Speaker Johnson must have missed this Page One NYT spread:

MAGA trying to set voting rules that would exclude their own leader from being able to vote is wild….
