This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Harvard rejected policy changes demanded by Trump — becoming the first university to directly refuse to comply with the regime’s demands. Other universities should take note. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s tyranny invites more of it.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires. This is a bill I cannot support.

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk and his co-president Donald Trump think this country should work for billionaires and everyone else should just bow down. I joined Lloyd Doggett, @gregcasar.bsky.social, and over 3,000 people in Austin, Texas to deliver a message: We are not bowing down!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk mass firing Social Security staff and shuttering field offices will only mean delays in getting benefits or seniors just not getting the benefits they are owed — and all this to make room for tax breaks for the rich.

YES. Being in the minority means Dems can’t block Trump’s noms. But they can DELAY & use every extra moment to tell the public why noms like Patel are so dangerous to our democracy. That’s what activists have been demanding & it's what Judiciary Cmte Dems did today. www.politico.com/live-updates...

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

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
