Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Yes we are offering a compromise. Just a simple one year extension. No bells and whistles. So Americans don’t see devastating rate hikes - rates doubling in many cases - this holiday season. Now Republicans just need to say yes and the government reopens.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has: -Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks -Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise -Made the largest cut to SNAP in history -Canceled the annual food security survey Shameful.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out. Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

I am in the middle of this. I love it like crazy. I’m a big fan of this genre. You know how people say they couldn’t put a book down. I put this book down all the time because I don’t want it to be over. I also want it to be a series. And I also want more of this #ArtificialWisdom #SciFi

Now THAT’S a Project I can support!! 👊

On another note, the spelling bee is challenging me today

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts apologized for releasing a video last week defending Tucker Carlson for hosting white supremacist and avowed antisemite Nick Fuentes: “I didn’t know much about this Fuentes guy. I still don’t, which underscores the mistake”

Pelosi: "Trump is a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the earth. Because he's the president of the United States and he doesn't honor the Constitution of the United States."

Trump and MAGA Republicans would rather shut down our air space than agree to protect your health care.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

Dear National Democrats, You see how progressive politics can win in the cities. Now come back to rural America and help us take over the country.

Endless lies 🤥 - brought to you by corporations who won’t pay a living wage

Trump is throwing a tantrum tonight, demanding “voter reform.” What does that even mean? He wants to stop Americans from voting because when we do, like we did tonight, we create a blue wave 🌊.

The resistance to fascism is alive & well. The resistance to cruelty is alive & well. The resistance to golden bathrooms & ballrooms is alive & well. The resistance to a madman who singlehandedly fucked up the economy for middle class/working class Americans is alive & well.

Still waiting for the live cam of all the billionnaires packing up their NYC apartments to move to Ohio

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Really can't be exaggerated how poisonous it is that @mattyglesias.bsky.social has taken up the "climate vs material prosperity" framing. It's empirically false. It's straightforwardly right-wing. It's going to make it harder to pass good policies. It's going to set that whole debate back.

First they erase the crime. Then they pardon the criminals. Now...they’re targeting the people who tried to stop it. 👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

The DOJ have tried to quietly end any kind of prosecutions in the Epstein case, regardless of numerous testimonies. They have literally allowed disgusting and vile PDFiles to continue going about their PDFile business.

Donald Trump sure as hell doesn’t care about babies, seniors, and veterans going hungry.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year. Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase. This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

Abigail Spanberger has won the governor's race in Virginia. In 2020, she introduced a bill to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time. This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

But thank god we remodeled the Oval Office to look like a Saudi palace, right?

I’m not flying until folks are paid. Canceled a flight two weeks ago and I’ll do it again.

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

Don’t know what’s going to happen today, but I do know this: People who oppose the corrupt, cruel, lawless madman in the White House would crawl butt ass naked over broken glass for miles right now to vote against him and his party.

You found $40 billion to bail out Argentina. But refuse to provide a dime to keep American children from going hungry. Show some leadership, get off the golf course and reopen the government.

LEAVITT: It's absolutely true that there's fraud in California's elections Q: What's the evidence of that? LEAVITT: It's just a fact

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits. This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans. As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?
