Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

If you’re looking for some sleepy time white noise tonight, I had an idea this week… It’s a white noise video that donates all revenue to Partners in Health and you can watch it here: youtu.be/dv2XyqC-EQ4

Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza. That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime. Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

This will have devastating consequences. Nearly a million K-12 students in Minnesota rely on funding from the Department of Education. Students in rural communities, low-income families, and those who need special education services will be hit the hardest. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Tariffs have thrown the auto industry into disarray, and workers on the Iron Range are paying the price. I’ve been in touch with the union to make sure that laid-off workers are getting connected to the resources they need. www.startribune.com/iron-range-l...

Louis DeJoy's wishlist to DOGE includes slashing 10,000 jobs, closing tens of thousands of postal retail centers, and gutting oversight. This will devastate seniors, small businesses, rural communities, and anyone else who relies on an affordable and reliable Postal Service.

Do you know why Americans are angry? Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant. At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%. We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

STRESS KILLS. 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going. The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

We need a new free speech movement. And universities should sue the Trump regime for abridging the First Amendment rights of their institutions and their students. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/we-need-a-new-free-speech-movement

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA. Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people. This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become. It's targeted harassment.

We are supposed to be a democracy. Elected officials are supposed to listen to the vast majority of the American people when they say: NO tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy NO cuts to Medicaid NO more billionaires buying elections

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

Senator Mark Kelly is a combat fighter pilot and Navy captain who bravely served his country. Elon Musk is a multi-billionaire trying to dismantle the VA who called Kelly, a veteran who put his life on the line, a “traitor.” Disgusting.

Trump and Musk's SSA cuts will mean longer wait times for beneficiaries, worse customer service, and fewer people receiving their earned benefits. Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

Let’s be clear: the Dept. of Ed. provides resources to 26 million children living in high-poverty school districts; Pell Grants to over 7 million students; & funding for millions of children with disabilities. Closing its doors would be a disaster for working class families.

Bill Maher saying Dems should be nicer to Trump pisses me off, because THEY TRIED! If Democrats want to get ANYWHERE from now on, they NEED to take the Walz approach. BE MEAN! CALL TRUMP AND HIS LACKEYS OUT ON THEIR BULLSHIT! GO LOWER THAN THEM! Harris/Walz would have won ‘24 if they did this.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Mr. Musk plans to layoff 83,000 workers at the VA. That means lower quality care for our vets. Unacceptable. I agree with the VFW: The VA must “reconsider its planned reduction of 83,000 employees & thoroughly review any proposed cuts prior to rolling out further announcements.”

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country. We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to Wall Street billionaires for profit. Privatization would increase costs, reduce access, and be an utter disaster.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel. They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands. Keep up the fight.
