@governor.ca.gov It's called "housing first".

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Deporting Vietnamese and Burmese migrants to South Sudan, a nation plagued by conflict and poverty, defies legal orders and basic humanity. This isn't just a bureaucratic error; it's a deliberate act of cruelty. #3E

Ah yes, the “golden age.”

NEW: Ohio Rep. Greg Landsman joins ‪@marcelias.bsky.social‬ to discuss how the new GOP budget bill would strip the healthcare of millions, how gerrymandering is driving a divisive Congress and more.

Why has Kid Rock not been arrested for obstructing ICE arrests after his restaurant sent undocumented workers home last week so they wouldn’t be swept up in an ICE raid, but Judge Dugan directing a man through a different door is a federal offense?

Paul: They started out at 145% got down to 80% now 30%. It is 30% more than we have on currently. It will be a 30% rise in goods coming from China, and somebody will pay that, it will be the consumer.

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.

That Plane has every intelligence agency listening device in all parts of that jet.

Trump is proposing a $1 trillion military budget. Roughly half of US defense spending goes to private military contractors, with investigations finding that these companies routinely price-gouge. Oh, and the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. "Fiscal responsibility."

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Home insurance rates are going up across the U.S., and in some places, people are losing coverage altogether. The biggest reason? Natural disasters worsened by climate change. Every insurance company has climate scientists on staff, and insurance companies are all pricing in climate risks.

Do your job, Sean.

Meanwhile, in Canada…

This Christmas, the Grinch is wearing a red hat. Trump’s tariffs are a hidden tax on American families and now they’re threatening toy makers and retailers. Jen Rubin explains why Democrats must make him (and his GOP enablers) own it.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

I mean, yeah.

The point wasn’t to make the economy better or create a better America for everyone. The point was to dismantle the country and sell it off to the highest bidders.

we need to spend more time with @repdangoldman.bsky.social's clip. not a single penny toward disaster relief but TONS OF YOUR CASH to "protect" drumpf's golf habit 🧢 @mrsquirrel.bsky.social @zentrixter.bsky.social

Good Night World

My mom worked for Different gas station companies across Central Alabama, West Alabama and East Alabama, the big oil company CEOS really control gasoline prices.

That they think it's okay to treat anyone, citizen or not, this way is disgraceful.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

There it is, in a nutshell.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett—is the Vice Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee and she is next in line, y’all. 🔥 Let’s rally behind her because she’s the fierce fighter we need. @repjasmine.bsky.social

Carney: We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons. We have to look out for ourselves and above all, we have to take care of each other.

Amazon will soon show Trump tariff cost on every product.

Three U.S. citizen children from two different families were deported with their mothers by ICE during the early hours of Friday morning. One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family’s lawyer said.

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

All true!
