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.

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.

Hey guys, let me out, I'm trapped "Inside" here. #BlueSkyArtShow #Inside #photography #dogs

THE WH is a “designated historic landmark”. A Prez has ZERO AUTHORITY to alter it.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

If anyone needs to be fired it's Kilmeade

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

If you're a cable host interviewing Tom Homan, at the very least you need to ask him about accepting bribes to influence government contracts. Or -- hear me out -- you could wordlessly pull a thick envelope from your coat pocket and slide it to him across the table with a stage wink.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

With the right folks in charge, it doesn't take long to get from a US economy that is "the envy of the world" to this: "The long-term unemployment number is a post-pandemic high and a level typically only seen during periods of economic turmoil..." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Yesterday's piece from @jamellebouie.net is the only high-profile piece I've seen that specifically discusses the watchlist, its effect on academics, and its effect on public attitudes toward academia as a whole. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o...

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

#SCOTUS all-but overruled a unanimous, 90-year-old precedent through an unexplained "administrative" stay this morning, and that's only the second-most-problematic thing it did before lunchtime.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year. Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

“To bomb one hospital, Mr Netanyahu, may be regarded as a misfortune; to bomb the same hospital again twenty minutes later to wipe out even more medics and journalists looks like a war crime” - Oscar Wilde, UN prosecutor.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

Just a reminder that immigrants are good for society and the economy. https://youtu.be/LCl9-uaKzv8?feature=shared

Mark Kelly: "I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. This is not a show of strength to allow him to fly into the United States to land here to negotiate with our president."

The scientists at CDC are right. @joho.bsky.social and @noupside.bsky.social and @gorskon.bsky.social have been saying this for years. We need more science and academic institutions to stand up and criticize RFK Jr and medical disinformation.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military. And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Bogdan Bezpalko, a member of the Presidium of the Council under the President of Russia for Interethnic Relations, openly called for genocide of the Ukrainian nation and the destruction of Ukrainian statehood. In case anyone still thought Russia wants peace.

mRNA vaccines can be modified and produced cheaply and quickly. This doesn't only help us respond to pandemics better, it enables researchers to rapidly test different treatment strategies for many diseases such as cancer. Cutting mRNA funding slows all of health research and makes us all sicker.

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

As the piece notes, the PragerU propaganda is being used in schools in Louisiana, Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona, South Carolina and Idaho. Check with your district to see if they're using this garbage to brainwash your kids.

Canadians are polite until we are we are not. What makes us not polite is fascism. We fought them on the streets of Toronto in 1933. We fought them in Spain. Long before America joined the war we fought them. When you tell us we don't have a right to a country or kidnap our people we will fight back

All you really need to know about the federal prison facility to which Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred is that the official signage looks like the kind of place that offers 2-for-1 slider specials, 10-cent wing happy hours, and a live karaoke band every Tues. night. She sex trafficked kids.

This man is a danger to us all.
