This is an excellent and important interview. I urge people to listen. The threat to a free press from Trump is real.

Oops! Republicans in Congress keep accidentally telling the truth. They can call it “reform.” They can keep trying to lie. But every Republican in Congress wants to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. And every American should know it.

Walmart's CEO announced this week it will pass the cost of Trump's tariffs onto consumers by raising prices. As I've been saying, tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the checkout line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfVGUiet39E

Swing voters are often characterized as “moderate,” even though every election shows us more and more that they’re really “change voters.” They’re not loyal to any ideology, they want something different, because the status quo isn’t working.

This is why I believe it’s best to run campaigns based on bold, transformational change. You draw swing voters AND inspire new voters to get involved. It’s both good policy and politics!

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

It’s insane to me that a known drunkard who works on Fox and hasn’t prosecuted a case in decades is going to be the US Attorney for Washington DC. The constant stupid is both terrifying and exhausting.

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic. “The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

Antisemitism is an assault on all of our values. So why would Republicans cut funding to address hate crimes or protect synagogues? Republicans are not trying to keep Jewish students safe. They're trying to keep the Israeli government safe from any form of criticism.

How are Republicans planning to pay for their latest round of tax cuts for the rich? By kicking millions off health care and gutting the social safety net. But that's not all. They also plan to sell off public land and water to Big Oil. Trickle down economics on steroids.

Trump targets the vulnerable. He scapegoats immigrants and trans people constantly. But WHY is Trump using this oldest trick in the book? Trump doesn’t want us united against him as prices go up, as people lose their jobs, and as the economy tanks.

Trump's incompetence is everywhere. His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles. While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.
