A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Desperately sad to look back & remember the Mueller report was fully suppressed. Bill Barr is responsible for it! He later warned us about Orange but still didn’t release the report. ANOTHER TRAITOR. It’s all completely INCOMPREHENSIBLE… These steps in the coup & seeing them with such clarity

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Rivian reported gross profit of $170M $rivn

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

-The Question: How the hell did we get here? -The Answer: Citizens United.

1/ One thing I can say with 20+ years of experience on this, is that the MSM (a term I hate but) is incredibly slow to cover protests and to understand what they signify.

New Yorkers, please call your governor. Adams is of no use to Trump if he's not mayor anymore.

Hackers have illegally accessed our most private information and only half of America seems to care.

BREAKING: Utah BANNING firefighters, police, teachers, and other govt workers from negotiating for better pay and benefits for them and their families This is MAGA: 1) False promises to help people against elites 2) Destroy middle class workers and families -- to benefit elites

Today we remember Alexei Navalnay, leader of the Russian opposition, who was found dead in his prison cell in Siberia one year ago today. I stand in solidarity with his widow Yulia Navalnay, the first lady of Russian opposition.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

This will not stop for anyone until all legacy media outlets refuse to cover his dog and pony shows. Musk is running the country anyway, while Trump conducts a reality show and treats you like groveling dogs. Have some dignity and self respect and walk the hell out.

I absolutely love this idea.

I’m running for president in 2028 on renaming the Gulf of America to the Gulf of Free Healthcare.

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
