Last night, every Senate Democrat voted for my amendment calling for a $17 an hour federal minimum wage while every Republican but 1 opposed it. The movement to raise the minimum wage to a living wage is growing. In 2025, a job must lift you out of poverty, not keep you in it.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t. If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Wait till @JoeBiden finds out Musk wants to privatize Amtrak: "Look, Jack, I’ve been riding these rails longer than you’ve been launching rockets. Amtrak’s staying the way it is—end of the line for you!"

One of my hobbies is looking for clues that President Trump understands that NATO countries do not pay dues to NATO, or us, but are required to pay a certain percentage of their GDP on their own defense. None today. See at 30:00. www.c-span.org/program/whit...

Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Tucson AZ, the city wide gem and mineral shows here are bananas. Always blows me away the incredible beauty that the earth holds, and the ingenuity involved in bring things like this to the surface. This insane ~20’ amethyst and calcite specimen from weltderkristalle is no exception. 🤯🤩🤤

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.
