"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Red states are rapidly turning on Trump. Republicans think their voters are too stupid to know what's going on. These town halls are a big wake-up call for the MAGA reps who spend a lot of time in the right-wing echo chambers of Fox and Twitter.

We invited Elon Musk to defend himself in front of the American people. He was too much of a coward to show up.

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Here's something you can do, right now. Justice Allison Riggs was just elected to the North Carolina Supreme Court. Her opponent is trying to get 65,000 ballots THROWN OUT, illegally, to reverse the outcome. We can stop this, with enough public pressure. Please donate and share widely.

These people were given the strongest economy in the world—fixed after Trump broke it—no plane crashes in 16 years, and a record-high stock market. In a matter of days, they’ve managed to destroy it all while making themselves richer. The world is laughing at our pathetic, incompetent leadership!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

In case anyone needs a reminder of what a little man Elon is.. Trumps post back in 2022, seems like it was true since now Elon is literally down on his knees for Trump. Pathetic excuse for a human being.

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing. Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans. Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is Donald Trump’s vision of America: Parents arrested by ICE picking up their kids from school, community members targeted coming out of church. It’s cruel and does nothing to make us safer.

Anyone know of good sources I can follow for updates on Allison Riggs appointment on the North Carolina Supreme Court? With all the madness going on, this one really concerns me. If Griffin unlawfully gets 60K ballots thrown out…will we ever have a fair election again? @trump-tracker.bsky.social
