The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

Thanks for your vote of confidence…I guess?! Unlike you, I’d actually be focused on the American people—the issues they’re facing, making sure folks have healthcare, and consulting with Congress before dropping bombs on another country.

J. Ketanji Brown Jackson is the smartest Supreme Court justice—by far. Her Honor’s recent dissent is required reading—especially Footnote 12, wherein Her Honor calls out her supposedly originalist colleagues. This case/footnote will be assigned to law students.⚖️ www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Dear Black Baby Jesus: In no order, thank you for hip-hop. And for church socks & Jordans, Snapbacks & tattoos, soul food and gospel. Thank you for the gift of a universal Black culture. Thank you so damn much for Black Women, sisters and moms. Black people are royalty—and we know it.🖤🖤 #Juneteenth

White America wants to return to a time when Black people were seen but never heard from. They want our music, athletic prowess, fashion, food and culture. But White America absolutely detests Black people. Not an overt hatred, because “racism” is taboo to them—but their votes tell their story. 🇺🇸

Lawyer, here. Habeas corpus (pls Google it) applies to every human on U.S. soil, regardless of citizenship. Put plainly, habeas corpus has been eliminated, for all practical purposes. I’ve personally spoken to many who’ve been arrested/caged, 100% unaware of what law they’re thought to’ve broken.🇺🇸

Juuust you wait until I.C.E. or whatever law enforcement starts snatching white Americans off the streets for whatever—literally for social media posts, criticizing the new [Christian White Nationalist] govt. That’s definitely coming soon. Project 2025 was NOT coy about this. I tried to warn y’all!

Old enough to remember when Trump and Republicans said tariffs wouldn’t affect prices for the American customer. Now, Trump is insisting Walmart should just “eat” those increase costs, lose money, and NOT pass that loss on to the consumer via raised prices—like every economist knew they have/will.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

My grandpa is a Korean War veteran, too. Like all Black Americans who served their country, when they returned home from abroad, white people in this country treated them like absolute dog shit. I say again, Black Americans are the patriots White America has always pretended to be. Simple as that.🇺🇸

This screenshot is the smoking gun. The Defense Secretary—on Signal—live texting classified strike times to people without the proper clearance. Hegseth’s defense? Blame a “disgruntled employee” and bash the media. And the White House is still standing by him. 1/2

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

So fucking disgusted with all these white Americans demanding Black People [risk our lives to] fight the exact [criminally immune] White Nationalism their fellow white people JUST RE-elected for the rest of us. Hard pass. Read the room. My fellow Black Americans are NOT saving you people this time.

Politicians like AOC and Bernie have the people's ear right now. Democratic socialism is very popular among working class Americans, especially because it cuts through the culture war. If Democrats don't lean into this, then I don't see any reason to believe that they actually want to beat the GOP.

NYC subways are some of the safest places I’ve ever taken my daughter in any city. People who are afraid of cities are afraid of minorities and just too cowardly to say it aloud.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

56 years ago today, the Chicago Eight were slapped with bogus charges for protesting the DNC and daring to challenge the Democratic Party's complicity in mass slaughter. This was a blatant persecution of anti-war activists & civil rights leaders who sought to expose the hypocrisy of the war machine.
