Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

Six House Dems just voted to give more money to insurrection-enabling GOP senators than to extended ACA tax credits Cuellar Davis Golden Gray Perez Suozzi clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

"Trump boosts Argentina's Milei with $20 billion lifeline" American farmers are suffering but Trump just gave $20 billion to bail our Argentina!! This is outrageous BS! www.reuters.com/world/americ...

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Of the 24 million people cutting the ACA tax credit would hurt, 19 million live in red states where the ACA exchanges are often the largest insurer. Many would see their premiums triple overnight. Democrats are the only people in government fighting for Trump's voters. It's just that simple.

Priorities.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

Ah, so it's a miniature Nuremberg rally.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Donald Trump & RFK Jr. are making America sicker & poorer. Firing doctors and ending vaccines is dangerous for public health.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Excellent question.

THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A MASTERMIND OF TRADE. WE ARE NOW PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR OUR BASIC NEEDS. YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE TO LOWER PRICES ON DAY ONE BUT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PROMISE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILE, SIR!!

“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker

She sure knows how to bring the fire! 💙

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is worth over $350 BILLION – after receiving billions in government contracts – but could be paying LESS in taxes than you. Why? Because Trump and Republicans rigged the tax code with loopholes for billionaire corporations. No more corporate handouts.

Can’t wait for @jaketapper.bsky.social’s book about this

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "God damnit. Enough. Democrats, stop being weak. Step up. These guys have been dominant in the narrative. They have been defining the terms of the debate. It's time to get off our damn heels, onto our front toes... It's time for us to all band together."

40% of Americans are dipping into their savings. 37% are opening credit card debt. Millions can't afford their bills. You know who benefits from all this? Giant corporations. You know who just got a tax break to boost their profits? Giant corporations. WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.

Adorable Elephant feel all loved with cuddles.. 🥰

In April, Trump approval among men = 48% Now = 39% April, Trump approval among women = 39% Now = 35% April, Trump approval among independents = 31% Now = 21% "This is really bad news for Trump, and for Republicans who depend on independents in close elections...” www.umass.edu/news/article...

The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

Almost 30,000,000,000 passed onto Americans because of tariffs

Hochul: "This is a war. We are at war. And that's why the gloves are off and I say, bring it on."

Phillip: The performance of this economy is actually factually, much worse than the performance of the economy just a year ago

Let them eat cake.

Vile. Qualifications, ethics and morals simply don’t matter to Republicans. Utterly ridiculous.

Opinion | I'm well aware Emil Bove was the least ethical judicial nominee of my lifetime. But voting against him would mean a primary challenger which would mean having to campaign which would mean having to spend time in my home state.

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course? Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

Ghislaine Maxwell did not die in Jail under Biden. She was tried, convicted and sentenced to 20 years, under Biden. Survivors were able to sue and claim damages from Epstein’s estate under Biden. Meanwhile under Trump Epstein evidence is lost, Epstein is killed/suicides/escapes. And Case Closed?

Forgive me if I haven’t seen it elsewhere, but why are we not referring to this as the Pedofiles?

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check. That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year. If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

Every word of this. As American media companies, colleges & universities, tech companies, & law firms all bend a knee to the fascist in the White House, the creators of South Park courageously punch that fascist in the face. #SouthPark 👇
