We just had one of the most eye-opening conversations with none other than Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. Every single one of you should hear this because what we talked about goes far beyond Kentucky. It’s about what’s at stake for every working family in this country.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

Millions of Americans — especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities — rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service. Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable — all to enrich the billionaire class. We cannot let it happen.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

The corporate media is too afraid to discuss Michael Wolff’s book about Trump and the author says he’s been virtually blacklisted. So we knew we had to chat with him. Listen on Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6FIg...

We need a Ronny Cheing and Jordan Klepper food travel show STAT #AftertheCut

Hundreds of people gathered at Patriots Park right now in Tarrytown for a Stop the Cuts Rally — holding Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) accountable for his vote to decimate Medicaid.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

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.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Half of Americans have less than $500 in savings, according to recent estimates. Meanwhile, the combined wealth of the three richest men in the world is roughly $740B. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.  Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Over $1.75 trillion was wiped out from the US stock market today. Trump owns all of this.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days. That is beyond unacceptable.

Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security. What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices. Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY. David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Silver lining: Europe became a Union yesterday. 🇪🇺

“It’s what President Trump has asked for." Republicans are gearing up to adopt a budget that would statutorily increase the debt. But they say that’s fine as long as it’s for tax cuts.

No notes

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Can a "f**king moron" like Trump still be Putin's useful idiot? Jordan Klepper and John Bolton discuss
