The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Louder for the folks in the back: It's just another trickle down tax scam 👇 Tell Congress to put families over billionaires here: bit.ly/3MOBGyT #TaxFairnessNOW

Most developed countries collect 35% of their economic output in revenue. In 2023, the United States collected just 25% of its economic output in revenue. The problem isn't that we spend too much. It's that we don't make billionaires and corporations pay enough taxes.

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

It’s so weird how we’re all just working like this is still a normal country.

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

I’m old enough to remember when corporations and trade organizations couldn’t stop talking about their investments in DEI… Because we the people, led by the BLM movement, demanded they stand with us. We have always—and will always—have to fight against corruption, hatred, and greed.

Most of yesterday's intelligence hearing focused on Signal. Something else not to be missed: this exchange between Sen. King (ME-I) Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence. King asked why the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment did not mention climate change, after doing so for 11 years.

So, are we all using @groundnews.bsky.social’s app? I love being able to see how the same news story is being covered by sources across the political spectrum. The Blind Spot and factuality features are super helpful, too. Are you using it? What other tools are you using to stay informed?

The more content I consume from across the spectrum of political ideas… The more I believe most of us want (and are angry / scared about) a lot of the same things. We’ve been programmed to believe our values and worldviews are too different for us to ever unite. We have to prove them wrong.

Trump issued an executive order invoking a wartime law the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a little-known law—would allow the government to deport without due process.

I don’t care if we stand on our streets in front of where we live holding signs. We just need to do it everywhere and flood the internet with the images.

We don’t shop on Amazon anywhere near as much as we did 5-10 years ago. But it was nice for getting recurring things like cat litter up into our 3rd floor apartment. Still, we officially cancelled our prime membership today. Deactivated Meta apps too. Oof. But mostly — it feels like #Freedom 🇺🇸

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

This was such an amazing argument from Senator Patty Murray! I have several friends who would be directly impacted by a government shutdown. I don’t want one. I don’t want my kids to live in Trump’s version of America—lawless disorder—more. However this vote falls, it’s time to rise up.

Good morning. I am a firm 100% NO on House Republicans' slush fund CR. I will NOT vote to let Elon and Trump pick winners and losers with your taxpayer dollars. Senators were not elected to beg Trump for federal resources.

Spotted this staff pick at @powells.bsky.social over the weekend! 👀 I know it’s not even February, but this may be my favorite book of the year. Really makes you think.

For those wondering wth happened #COP29: developing countries collectively sought $1.3 trillion, incl $600 billion in public grants. Final text word salad says "at least $300 billion", "private", "alternative sources" & other vague language. Developing countries objected unfccc.int/sites/defaul...

I’m curious: what’s the best strategy you’ve seen to fight back against what we all know is coming: every bad thing that’s coming - particularly economically - will be blamed on Biden. Who’s the farthest along with combatting misinformation and disinformation? 🧐

The more time I spend in wild places with kind people, the happier I feel. My advice to those of you who are feeling sad and scared right now: energize yourself with the things that bring you joy. We’re going to need all the energy we can muster.
