Trump doing a trade war:

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

“It’s a lot easier to destroy a thing than to build a thing.”

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit. House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent. They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

🤷🏼‍♂️

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Fuck yes

I’m not crying you are. 😭😭😭😭

Joe Biden, you’re gonna beat this cancer. You’re a great man with a strong spirit, and you have a family that loves and supports you, not to mention tens of millions of us grateful for your steady, principled leadership.

President Biden is a man of deep faith and extraordinary resilience. Chasten and I are keeping him, and the entire Biden family, in our prayers for strength and healing.

Grabbed this photo of Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s tonight at Cruel World. She absolutely ROCKS and her guitar says it all. ✊🏽

So whatever happens it will be important to remember that Trump tried to take a half billion dollar bribe in the form of a blinged out pimpmobile 747 from the princes who fund Hamas.

"Nobody knows more about capitulating to China than I do."

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

This brought me to tears - the Stars and Stripes in all black. #fucktrump #distressedUS

The people constantly braying about “Christian values” are attacking the Pope for suggesting that we love others.

Justice David Souter has passed. He was a model of independent jurisprudence, defying Republicans who had hoped he would deliver consistently conservative rulings. As a justice, he became a rare convert to liberal and progressive causes, and he stood by his beliefs through it all. Rest in power.

The Vatican keeps in tradition of having a Pope who doesn't like JD Vance.

BREAKING: A major win for VoteVets and democracy. Over 60,000 ballots—many from military and overseas voters—were nearly tossed in NC. We fought back. The court agreed. Justice Riggs’ win stands. Our Troops followed the rules. We made sure their votes counted.

Whenever I walk by this building behind Independence Hall I think: “If I was a Revolutionary War soldier, this would probably be my name.”

Stephen Miller's law firm has sued to place federal courts under the control of the president. It's flagrantly unconstitutional. But do they have a point?

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

The Truth Of The Matter And They Are Not Bringing Jobs Back….

A farmers market in deep blue Brighton, NY might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over a lengthy discussion of the health risks of kombucha for pregnant women, you can hear whispers that woke is the reason the NYT spelling bee doesn’t count racial slurs as dictionary words.

-Dropped or halted investigations into 100+ corporations -Gutted regulatory agencies and fired ethics watchdogs -Launched a crypto coin and offered an "intimate dinner" to top buyers -Turned the White House into a Tesla showroom to help his biggest donor "Drain the swamp."
