AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

They get nothing out of this administration. Matter of fact a lot of them will lose....bigly.

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

This is what Musk and DOGE have *actually* tried to do: -- Kill USAID (investigating Starlink) -- Kill CFPB (regulator for X to be payment app) -- Move $2.3 BILLION contract from Verizon to Starlink -- Force Social Security Administration to use X exclusively 100% CORRUPTION

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a federal court on Friday to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against him, arguing that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recently announced decision to do so was “explicitly and unapologetically political.”

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

They are obviously slow learners

She has more character and integrity than anyone else in this administration.

The statement by the team of Columbia University graduate and legal green card holder Mahmoud Khalil is heartbreaking. Anyone who cares about freedom of speech should be against the Louisiana judge ruling to deport him.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

I have no idea who did this. It’s genius!

All this fRaUd and still not a single lawsuit. Weird, huh?

I did not think this was real but it is

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Watching the stock market crash again today when investors realize that a 10% tariff on everybody wipes out thin profit margins, which a lot of businesses operate under, and that a 125% tariff on the country that produces half your consumer goods and sells you critical raw materials is unworkable.

They are SO full of it!😡🤢🚫🤑🐘⚖️🚫😡🤢

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

Prediction: Today (4/9/25) registered the greatest ill gotten gains from insider trading in history.

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

🚨 NEWS: The White House confirms the tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%—not 125%. Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.

FUN FACT: Donald trump said he'd end the war in Ukraine in one day, easiest thing ever. 80 days later, he STILL hasn't ended it. Because everything he says is BULLSHIT.

The reason empty townhalls work is because it is direct action toward your local lawmaker. You aren’t a random protester. You aren’t a random person calling their office. You are a constituent demanding action. Demand your local lawmaker do better, or shame them in their own district.

Whatever fraud there is in Medicaid is largely on the provider side, not beneficiaries. It's health insurance, its not cash. "Fraud" here means going to a doctor if you are unemployed.

I refuse to give Trump any credit for alleged 4D chess moves. He is an idiot. He's been bankrupted 6 times. He doesn't understand how tariffs work. The world didn't concede or bend the knee. They started dumping US bonds. He folded & rich got richer buying the dip and following shock doctrine.

We found the voter fraud!!!!!

I would bet real money that a bunch of trump's friends got really, really rich with a "heads up" today. Convicted felons gonna felon.

the jamelle bouie secret to presciently anticipating the behavior of the president is to just ask myself what a dumbass bully would do

of all the things the administration is doing, i am a little mystified by this effort to completely destroy the science, technology and medical research sector in the united states
