"Poorer people end up paying a disproportionate percentage of the tariffs, because they spend 100% of their paychecks on goods," says Gary Cohn, vice chairman of IBM and a former top economic adviser to President Trump in his first term. "The tariffs are going to affect the poorer people more."

250 years ago today, Paul Revere’s midnight ride inspired the earliest Americans to unite against threats to our nation’s founding principles. Today we find ourselves facing new attacks from within. We, the people, have an obligation to stand up and defend our democracy.

When I served on the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Board (under part of Obama-2 and all of Trump-1), what impressed me most about the commitment of Military Officers was their sworn allegiance — not to a leader or commander or a king, but to the US Constitution.

Pope Francis was an advocate for the homeless, the marginalized, the vulnerable. We need more of this in our world to push back against the cruel and spiteful who abuse their power to make our world poorer.

Been thinking a lot lately about the morals of Jesus of Nazareth. As a tan man from the Middle East, if Jesus were an undocumented American immigrant, I wonder if angry mobs would get ICE to deport him — especially for speaking out against greed and advocating for the poor.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Over 4.6 million Texans rely on Social Security. Republicans keep trying to gut the program you paid into your entire life—but protecting Social Security isn’t up for debate. They stay trying it — but I’ll keep fighting back against their attacks on our communities. #SocialSecurityDayOfAction

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term. It's a gigantic amount of money in total — but it's just pocket change to them. We must get Big Money out of politics. No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.
