It is bracing to reread the Framers’ bone-deep fears about foreign corruption of the presidency and realize Trump is exactly what they were trying to prevent. slate.com/news-and-pol...

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

What RFK Jr. said was reprehensible. He should be ashamed of himself and step down.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Abolish ICE. Abolish the prison industrial complex — and all prisons with it. Abolish the police — and the cop in your mind. Take care of each other.

I am often asked about my sincere belief in others & how that gives me hope. Today @booker.senate.gov gave me hope. He was heroic. He is a helper. As I say in my book Find The Helpers, what matters more than the moment is what we do next. Corey Booker just showed the way for what to do next.

May this be the start of a change back toward sanity, and finally toward progressiveness.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

One of my secret conference prep strategies is to slowly cut out coffee before the big day. Then I can be superpowered and find joy again once it starts! #CAC25 #CIBAs

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

My general refusal to install new apps that allow my bosses to more easily contact me 24/7 is probably also a good firewall against my ever accidentally receiving war secrets.

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. 🧵

The Trump administration wants to shut down all of Social Security over a ruling blocking 11 DOGE workers from sticking their fingers in your private data. 11 DOGE workers. 73 million Americans. This is illegal. If it happens, will force millions of seniors into poverty.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.
