The facts are the facts: their proposed budget is not going to make life easier for 99% of us. I can’t WAIT until the day that Republicans decide to show up and work for the people who elected them.

The minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009, and is now a poverty wage. Billionaires in America have collectively doubled their wealth since 2017. Happy May Day!

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

the entire point of the piece (and the related book) you're replying to and didn't read is that your great-grandparents were eating formaldehyde milk and gypsum flour and arsenic jam because there were no food safety laws. Keeping food safe is a society's job, not an individual's!!!

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Having zero tolerance for our leaders profiting off elected office should have nothing to do with right/left politics. Sooo...my op-ed for Fox News on how Trump's first 100 days marks him as the most corrupt president in American history. www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...

The President is attacking me because I filed Articles of Impeachment, asking “What the hell did I do?” It's all in my seven articles of impeachment: 1. Defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling. 2. Dismantling federal agencies.

Now is a good time to read Health Communism by @reallandsend.bsky.social and @avierkant.bsky.social if you haven't. Withholding healthcare resources in the name of cost-saving/preventing wasteful spending is simply providing a justification to abandon people the government deems less worthy.

We can't rest until government is restored as an instrument for the people, not our homegrown theocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs.

Donald Trump is an aspiring despot intent on destroying American democracy. The people with the power—and the constitutional obligation—to stop him are the Republicans in Congress. Their failure to act is a constitutional crisis and a stain on their legacy that will never be removed.

The alternative to naloxone (Narcan) for a fentanyl overdose outside a healthcare facility - where almost all of them in this country occur - is death. Dead people don’t recover. Fentanyl overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans 18-44. Every single fentanyl overdose death is preventable.
