If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Heads up: The U.S. Postal Service has proposed a new rule that would allow it to refuse to deliver mail ballots in states that don't turn over voter rolls to the federal government. Dems say it's clear evidence the Trump admin is trying to unconstitutionally intrude on state-run elections.

If there was ever any doubt about Trump's outright grifting... youtu.be/b1ytw85Npt8?...

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

As primary season continues, some Democrats claim the party needs to "move to the center" to win in November. Hogwash. Democrats can't repeat the same failed playbook of the last 50 years. It's time for them to grow a spine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQzG_TrhyrY

I have been a vocal critic of gerrymandering. But the Supreme Court has unleashed the Republican Party on a gerrymandering spree. Democrats must respond in kind, removing any incentive for Republican states to gerrymander. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

56,000 people will die per year forever because of Mike Lawler's healthcare cuts. This was a choice made by politicians in Washington DC. to put our health at risk. Why did they do this? To give trillions in tax handouts to the richest people in the history of the world - @alaw202.bsky.social

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job. One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

I understand the argument for how Israel’s national interest was advanced in this war. I do not in any way see how our interests were anything but severely harmed.

ICE is dangerous, cruel, and lawless - and a growing number of local law enforcement agencies in New York collude w/ ICE on a regular basis. We need the NY legislature to pass New York for All to protect immigrant communities and end the collusion. Add your name: action.aclu.org/send-message...

I literally cannot abide listening to the sound of Trump's voice anymore. For him to characterize Iran as a violent country because they shoot protesters is just idiotically hypocritical and shows his profound stupidity.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Trump is plotting to shell out nearly $1 billion of taxpayer money to get an energy company to stop building two wind farms. That will make us more reliant on dirty fossil fuels, whose prices are soaring due to his war on Iran. Everyone loses — except Trump’s Big Oil donors.

So far the war on Iran has cost $25 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless. You are giving me hope. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-we-will-prevail

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses. Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high. Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025. “Golden Age” for whom?

Videos shared online falsely claim Keir Starmer banned New York mayor Zohran Mamdani from the UK, after Mr Mamdani supposedly said the UK had “lost its moral compass” at an event they both attended. But no such event happened, and he hasn’t been banned.
