There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical. We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

This is the beginning of a massive fall of MAGA. No amount of division, fear mongering, lies, and cheap lines will overcome the fact that you just took many people’s prosperity just because it makes you feel powerful. Mark my words, the beginning of the end.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Elon Musk is spending millions of dollars to elect Brad Schimel, a conservative judge in Wisconsin, to the State Supreme Court. If he succeeds, conservatives will retake a 4-to-3 majority and be in a position to push the state rightward on issues like abortion, labor rights and congressional maps.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security?

I think the dems need essentially two arms of communication. We currently have (and need) an explain-y arm, best exemplified by Buttigieg. But we also need a meme (in a pseudo-Dawkins sense) arm. The American people as a group don't think in arguments, they think in tidbits. 1/

Peaceful protest is protected under our First Amendment: freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of the press. Trump threatening to pull federal funding from schools over Americans protesting is unconstitutional on several levels. It’s authoritarian overreach & must be repudiated.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

There are some self-proclaimed Christians pushing voucher scams. Vouchers take money from public schools and give it to wealthy parents who already send their kids to private school. I can’t think of anything more un-Christian than stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

Disgusting. Immoral. Betrayal. Traitorous. Trump and his fascist henchmen planned to humiliate Zelenskyy. They humiliated themselves and our nation. Trump serves Putin, not the United States. He is the enemy of democracy. Will our institutional press cover fascism now?
