"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes. Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

Yep. Unbelievable.

I really hope there is a some-number-greater-than-zero percent chance that establishment dems wake up this morning and see that what we are looking for is fighters. I’m not holding my breath.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

@klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov What are you doing to support this?

Dem politicians are failing to meet the moment we are in right now. They failed to see the threat in Nov ‘24 and Jan ‘25 and seem to think business as usual will work to bring Repubs to their senses. They (not all) are leading from behind instead of leading the charge.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

How we treat others is a reflection on who WE are, not who THEY are. We could’ve lined up Nazis up & shot them at the end of the war. Afterall, that’s what they did to others. But we held them to account for their actions, because that’s who we are. That is(was) our belief in the rule of law.

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies. He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

“Trump supporters scored higher on traits such as Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—which reflect manipulativeness, entitlement, emotional callousness, impulsivity, and antisocial behavior”

Things could have been so different.

“Starbucks had the largest pay ratio gap in the entire S&P 500 at 6,666 to 1 last year—Brian Niccol reportedly pocketed $95.8 million while the average worker earned $14,674, the eighth-lowest median pay of any S&P 500 firm, the report found.” Capitalism without conscience is greed.

Six Republican-led states sending National Guard troops to D.C. under the guise of a fake crisis. Texas Republicans using police to impose a rigged map on Texans and steal an election. Congressional Republicans funneling taxpayer dollars into kidnappings and concentration camps. This is fascism.

I can’t wait to see the partisan gerrymandering that comes out of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Alaska. That’s only funny until you realize they have more senators than New York, California and Illinois.

@klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov do you support Senator Durbin’s demand for transparency?

I keep coming back to the idea that we need a “Son’s of Liberty” reboot. “Children of Liberty”? “Descendants of Liberty”? Something that reaches back, but is more inclusive. I’d sign up for that.

Political violence is a tool of those who know they are on the wrong side of history.

Is it too late to form “The People’s Cabinet”? Why has this idea withered on the vine? We still need an opposition party @timothysnyder.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Slept in my Bob Marley t shirt. Woke up ready to get up and stand up. Keep it going.

We cannot let the Republicans off the hook for the unlawful and illegal actions of the Trump regime. Mike Johnson and House Republicans are 100% complicit in every unconstitutional and authoritarian executive order that is issued. 1/

“If we don’t get our s**t together America will become an autocratic hellhole”

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

You either stand with a small man who wants to line his pockets with ill gotten gains or else you pledge your loyalty to creating a more perfect union. You can’t do both. End/

It is time to demand action from our representatives and from our fellow patriots if we are to ensure that this government “of the people, by the people and for the people” does not perish from this earth. 3/

Trump is isolating American interests around the globe, turning our backs on our allies and emboldening our adversaries. He is devaluing our economy and degrading our institutions. He is a threat to the promise of America envisioned by our founders though never fully realized. 2/

President Trump is an embarrassment to the American people. Despite his lies to “make America great again” he has only succeeded in making America small. Trump is closing American frontiers and closing American minds. 1/

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Thank you Senators @smith.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com for your votes against Pete Hegseth for Sec Defense. 50 Republican “colleagues” voted for confirmation to give cover for 3 to vote no. There is no “pick your fights”-every fight needs to be you fight. Every day. Every fight. We implore you.

Thank you @smith.senate.gov for your vote against Trump loyalist John Ratcliffe for CIA director. @amyklobuchar.com why is he more qualified today (you voted yes) for CIA than he was in 2020 for DNI (when you voted no)? Bipartisanship with fascism = more fascism
