Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity. I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking. Here are some of them:

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%. The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

SHOW UP!

So true indeed 👇. They have sold themselves to Russia. Russia has been aiding Iran with weapons and missiles, so the GOP has been party to this game going on with Russia,China, and Iran. There is no denying who the real DICTATOR is. 👇

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

We will need scientists telling truths in the days, months, and years ahead. Here are some of my faves on Bluesky. go.bsky.app/14W5Rdk

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

Team Canada wins in overtime, and l’ve never been delighted with a hockey win before, ever.

The United States got to where it is by technological research and innovation. Without that, it would be no different than many other countries around the globe. DOGE shut the funding spigot for medical research overnight. Scientists are calling it ‘the end of science’ in America flip.it/FDbhn7

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Nothing less than annihilation is unacceptable! youtu.be/pNF55iCcQ3I?...

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.
