Bernie: "What that is all about is that if you're rich in America, you can make campaign contributions, you are entitled to massive tax breaks because you're superhuman beings. But if you're a poor working stiff, working at McDonald's, struggling to put food on the table, you're entitled to nothing"

I think that’s more than fair. Also, don’t forget to subscribe: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

💥 NEWS: McDonald's shareholders voted Tues. to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. McDonald's Board said the proposal "unduly interferes" with the company's "flexibility and judgment." MCD: "Our success in the future builds on our history of embracing diversity as a competitive advantage."

Boycott the parade or protest it!

Duckworth: "He's accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal. And he's gonna accept an aircraft that then is gonna cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid. It's simple unacceptable."

With for all of this, except the part of pledging an oath to a man, what man, not anyone I would call a man.

"This is naked corruption on a massive scale. But at least the golf stuff is covered by a tiny fig leaf, ostensibly separating the Trump Org and the Oval Office. Now, less than four months into his second term, Trump is ripping the bandaid off and discarding all pretense." -- @lizdye.bsky.social

Trump is taking a bribe from a country that funds Hamas. If you can’t say that, then you shouldn’t be a journalist.

New in PN: The new pope is latest sign that the world rejects Trumpism "Neither Pope Leo nor Mark Carney nor anyone else can save the US from what its own voters have done to it. But we all live in the same world, and any pushback against Trump is helpful and hopeful."

🇦🇺Congrats to our brothers & sisters in Australia 🇦🇺Let's continue this adventure together, telling the far right wing, around the world, to shove their rhetoric where the sun don't shine! Sincerely 🇨🇦

And there you have it.

“MSNBC correspondent Tom Costello claimed Friday that an air traffic controller who ‘handles airspace’ at the Newark, NJ, airport gave him some ‘rather concerning and startling information’ about public safety: ‘It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public.’”

9 years ago today was the first and only time I have ever agreed with Lindsey Graham 🐞

My latest: Jimmy Kimmel Mops Floor With Hegseth Over Makeup Studio, Wife Joining Meetings

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

The Dow is now headed for its worst April since 1932 -- the very worst year of the Great Depression.

I always look forward to funerals too. Good times.

Autistic people and their loved ones have swiftly and publicly rejected statements by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, that people with autism will never play baseball, date, pay taxes or have a job.

The week was dominated by news about the Maryland man illegally deported to El Salvador. But there was also concern over tariffs and Robert F. Kennedy's work as Health and Human Services secretary.

Our voices are stronger when we howl together 🐺🐺

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed.

Florida was once a vacation paradise. It was the dream of many to live there. Now due inept politicians and greedy corporations it’s a hellscape. In the old days folks would gladly put up with the occasional hurricane and rebuild as necessary. Now not worth it.

Tomorrow I’ll be calling all of my representatives to demand that they call for RFK jr’s immediate resignation.

“The government is not a car company.”

And that's the truth

What did Marjorie Taylor Greene know about the tariff announcements and what stock trades did she make? We need answers.

The fact that #SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled in Abrego Garcia isn't proof of *how* the justices are going to rule. But the longer it takes, the more it suggests that there isn't a majority of the Court who views this dispute with the same *urgency* that so many of us do. And that's a problem unto itself.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Amazing that without even mentioning a name, EVERYONE knows exactly who it's referencing.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Just saw Stephen Miller outside Tysons Mall getting into a car with his security Told him to his face that he's hurting American families. He didn't look up and his security told me I need to keep moving. I was with my son and holding a Lego bag. These men are weak, cruel cowards.

Katherine Clark: "What they are doing here is wrecking the infrastructure of Social Security so they can rob the benefit ... it is an outrageous ripoff of the American taxpayer that we are seeing from this administration."

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏
