This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

The $400,000,000 Trump is withholding from Columbia University is no arbitrary amount. It was the amount Donald wanted Columbia to pay him for land he owned. They refused. And Donald was furious. That was 25 years ago. And petty Donald has not forgotten.

Do you know why Americans are angry? Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant. At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%. We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

Millions of tourists will not come here now. Foreign students will find somewhere else to get an education. Foreign investors will put their money elsewhere because Trump has broken the belief that America is a safe bet. We are only beginning to witness the consequences of this tragic mistake.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

The Democratic Party risks failure with Chuck Schumer leading. His outdated approach alienates progressives, stifles bold reform & struggles against GOP tactics. In a polarized era, his approach fails to counter 🟠's dominant, dark influence. He must step down. We are the Democrats. The Reformers

Tim Walz: “Do something, dammit. Democrats need to answer Americans' primal scream.” I wish pollsters, campaign advisers and the DNC hadn’t run the Harris/Walz campaign and just let them be themselves last year. This guy is alright. Drop a 💙 if you support Tim Walz fighting the good fight.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats. An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

📌Everything changed Nov. 5th, but sadly very little has changed in the Democratic Party. 📌This country will never be the same. The sooner we start acting like it the better. 📌What would you do if everything you had and everyone you loved was threatened? Would you act like Zelenskyy or Schumer?

This is a crisis. America is flailing. Why didn’t the Dems follow Rep. Green out of the chamber? Did they think their signs would have more impact? Before you come at me, I support our Dems. It is our job to offer constructive criticism and convey our insights. It’s their job to listen and act.
