When I want to feel hopeful, I remember I hold my political beliefs because progressive taxation, equality of all citizens, peaceful co-existence & anti-fascism are morally & logically superior to MAGA fascism. I can hope the scales will fall from the eyes of others. Lots of work in the meantime.

REMINDER: Cutting IRS spending is not a “cost-cutting” move. Cutting the IRS lowers revenue. It’s a move to protect the wealthy, like Elon Musk. Auditing the rich returns $12 for every $1 spent. www.nber.org/papers/w31376

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The Democrats should appoint a 'shadow cabinet' to counter this Administration's lies and show what a competent cabinet could accomplish.

Again, this idea has been floating out there for ages, and many other governments around the globe use the concept of shadow cabinets. Why haven't the Dems actually done this?

Banning noncompetes. Changing OT pay rules to include more workers. Capping credit card fees. Erasing student loan debt. All Biden Admin executive actions to help working people that were blocked by Trump-appointed judges. And Republicans didn't have a problem with any of it.

Today I offered a motion to help ensure Elon Musk no longer has unlawful access to Federal Government systems and the private, sensitive data of taxpaying Americans. All but one House Republican voted No and defeated my motion, choosing cowardice over patriotism.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics. What a tragically stupid country we are.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Once they normalize breaking the rules to go after people who are not citizens of this country, their next phase will be to go after people who are "not the right kind of citizens". By then it will be too late to stop them. Don't let them normalize any of it.

I'm a former OMB official and this is absolutely true. And let's also not forget that these illegal actions have direct, harmful consequences for actual people. New moms won't get help feeding their infants. Small businesses won't make payroll. People could lose their jobs, their homes.

My father was 10 and living in Bergen when the Germans occupied Norway in April of 1940. He almost never talked about it but every time he did he broke down. Very much related to Tor’s thread, you should watch Nr. 24. It’s onNetflix.
