Elite like to fret about “echochambers” from online choices & algorithms, but much bigger information divide is our corporate media’s break with reality, treating Trump as serious person but refusing to take his threats seriously, while rest of world knows he is lunatic doing terrible things to US.

Without Congressional action, the World Trade Center Health Program will begin denying care for 9/11 survivors & first responders. Unacceptable. I joined NY colleagues in introducing a bill to secure permanent funding for WTCHP, so those impacted get the help they deserve.

Veteran unemployment rose in the first month of the trump administration. With federal hiring preference for veterans meaning they are disproportionately represented in the DOGE purge, trump admin will directly put more veterans out of work than any admin in the modern era.

If you want to stop World War Three, think what would have stopped World War Two. Occupation of the Ruhr. Anschluss with Austria. Annexation of Sudetenland. Hitler could have been stopped each time. But fear of war led to war. Don’t repeat the mistake. #SlavaUkraini

Happy #Caturday and white rabbits 🐇 lovely phone family. One of my pet peeves is when someone says 'I know exactly how you feel' because they had a similar experience. Truth is, we don't, because each of us feels things differently 🥰 Have a beautiful day everyone and always #HaveCourageAndBeKind ❤️

Center-left parties are failing because they refuse to restore high top tax rates on the wealthy to pay for the things that make regular people's lives better. Inequality is soaring and people both see and feel that. (They believe taxes fund govt. Economists know better. Taxes fight inequality.)
