Former President Obama brings his calm and steady leadership style to us once again to remind us of our power: “It is up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be because somebody comes and saves you. The most important office in this democracy is the citizen—who says, no, that's not right.”

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

“I would be lying if I said I don’t worry. I do. But as I wrote last month: “Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.” — @marcelias.bsky.social (4/5/25). Me too, Marc. In solidarity, LHT

What is Trump doing now that he has sabotaged the US economy with massive tariffs? He's at his golf club in Florida, where the Saudis are paying him to host a professional golf tournament.

Trump thinks that drug dealers bringing Fentanyl across the border are going to pay tariffs on it. Sure, Donnie Dementia. Right after they pay taxes on their drug-dealing profits. 🙄 He's so goddamn clueless about how shit works.

How many train wrecks do we have to survive before we pull our heads out of our collective asses and let women run this country? They called it from day one.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

When Facebook comes for historian Professor Heather Cox Richardson (her posts from the last several days have been mysteriously removed), it’s alarming. Follow her here and/or on Substack.

When Pete Buttigieg starts cursing, you know shit has gotten real. And he’s right, of course.

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired. Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

Get informed and be prepared to fight for our healthcare: ACA, marketplace insurance, Medicare, Medicaid. ‼️

It’s a wonderful blue sky day because @barackobama.bsky.social is here!

@barackobama.bsky.social Thanks! The ACA & marketplace ins. are an integral part of our family’s healthcare. From coverage for pre-existing conditions; when self employed; for our college kids, when they worked seasonal jobs, had career changes; for us before getting to Medicare. It makes life work❤️
