As Republicans go all in to remake the US, Democrats are crashing podcasts and talking sports?

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.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

Wanna know what it's like to be a writer? You plan out characters for a story, don't touch it, and then start making a list of new story ideas next to list of current projects...and just never write till your brain decides to be kind enough to let you 😅😅😅

What’s on the chopping block due to Trump’s cuts to NIH? Crucial cancer services for rural patients. Groundbreaking diabetes research. A treatment for children with severe intellectual disabilities. Tell me how this is supposed to make America healthy again?

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.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. But the greed of the oligarchs never stops. Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs. Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

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.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats. An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences. And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible. They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way. Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown. Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down. Why vote to legitimize Trump's coup?

Chuck Schumer selling us all out will be the last straw for a lot of people. And they need to be organized into organizations and into a project that will outlive the Democratic Party.

There is no point in Senate Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Dems should only vote for a continuing resolution if it stops DOGE pillaging and fully funds services. Call your Dem Senator 202-224-3121

The GOP has been told not to host in-person town halls—what are they so afraid of? Hearing from their own constituents? Meanwhile, leaders like Tim Walz are stepping up. He’s hosting a town hall in Iowa, not even in his own district, making sure Americans’ voices are heard.

What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting American citizens who support any cause the regime doesn’t like? Where, may I ask, are the “First Amendment absolutists” these days? Where are all the Republicans who for years have accused liberals of “cancelling” their views?

Whether you like or dislike what’s said at universities, free speech is at the core of our democracy, and protecting it should be one of the core missions of universities. Which is why America needs a new Free Speech Movement, similar to the one that broke out on college campuses 61 years ago.

Trump gutting the Dept. of Education will impact every child. But states that voted for Trump rely more heavily on Dept. of Education funds than those that didn't. Education funding shouldn't be a red vs. blue issue. It should be about all of us supporting the common good.

Musk is unilaterally wrecking the government from within and lining his own pockets. Get him out, terminate his access to all government systems. If you can't rally the public against a cartoonishly corrupt bond villain who's stealing from them in plain sight then get out of politics

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

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully. That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
