What exactly does “far left” in the Democratic Party mean? Haven’t noticed any Bolsheviks lately. Asking after reading AOC story re being Bernie’s successor. Guess it’s just proverbial “all things are relative “ at play. Gotta have a label.

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 His outdated approach alienates progressives, stifles bold reform & struggles against GOP tactics.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
