Manufacturing could lose more than 1m jobs by trying to bring back mfr jobs w/ tariffs...if there's a recession. The chart shows avg mfr job losses of 10.5% after recessions, compared with 3.9% for the private sector minus mfr. A recession could wipe out 1.2m mfr jobs, 500k at the low end. 1/2

This one’s for you Dad. The Silver Star you earned. And the grave injuries you suffered fighting fascism. I’ve never been so proud. I know how disgusted you’d be now. Rest easy brave soldier. ❤️

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

This is Chuck. Chuck is selling a book. Chuck also has a full-time job. I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not. Don’t be like Chuck. And don’t buy Chuck’s book.
