Yesterday at MIT for Planet Action with the next generation of climate champions. The science is clear—and so are the stakes. We need bold action and youth-led innovation to save our planet.

Whoa, this amazing appointment shows that Mamdani means to walk his talk. So impressed. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Trump: "They have Jasmine Crockett -- a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. Have her pass the exams I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. They're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. The first couple questions are easy -- a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe ... "

A 79-year-old Van Nuys car wash owner — who is a U.S. citizen — has filed a federal civil rights claim seeking $50 million after he says he was violently body slammed and pinned by federal agents during an ICE immigration raid at his business on September 9.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

This is how you do it. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

"Even in a contest against men twice his age, Mamdani has begun to sound like the adult in the room on issues of public safety, offering detailed, thoughtful policy proposals." 🙏 @errollouis.bsky.social

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

www.newsweek.com/epstein-emai... Cache of more than 18,000 emails directly contradicts Maxwell's recent statements to federal investigators and undermines her longstanding claim that she distanced herself from Epstein after the early 2000s.

Phang: Part of the reason the FBI has been showing this level of dysfunction is evidenced by the lawsuit filed yesterday by former FBI officials—what it shows is that the FBI has basically been hollowed out…

Just putting this here for anyone who might like to hear Bobby Kennedy's remarks to a predominantly black audience in Indianapolis on the evening of April 4, 1968, after the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kW...

Political figures who decry the Charley Kirk murder and vow accountability who said nothing or even laughed about the attack on Pelosi’s husband or the death of Melissa Hortman and her husband are the problem.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

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? 🤨

We can set an example for the whole nation in this election.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @Rattoons1776)

In a marathon hearing on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, RFK Jr. faced a barrage of questions from senators who were outraged by his recent actions. In some cases, Kennedy appeared to promote flat-out lies.

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say. Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

*NEWS*: Asawin Suebsaeng and Andrew Perez of Rolling Stone are joining Zeteo’s political team as new staff reporters, plus Peter Rothpletz will be helping me launch a progressive politics morning news letter. We’re also hiring a breaking news reporter.

Unbelievably bad. “The CDC you knew is over. Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.” www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Release the EPSTEIN files! #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

On Thursday, I joined the National Action Network's March on Wall Street with Rev. Al Sharpton, MLK III and hundreds of union members, civil rights leaders, and people from NYC and around the country.

Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.

so many people are going to die because not enough people were willing to believe that RFK jr would actually try to do exactly what he has said for decades that he wanted to do

SARAH PALIN: "There are going to be death panels!" RFK JR: "Technically, it's just me."

It's sad that this is SO TRUE!

Trump's tariffs are, quite literally, taxation without representation. Eff that.

God may every member of our armed forces remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not to the death cult leader.

That's gotta hurt! #politics

From me, earlier this year: "Yes, sometimes you persist and you fight 'the long defeat.' Because as the health care justice champion Paul Farmer once said, you don’t turn your back on those who have the most to lose. And sometimes, just sometimes, you win." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

While the 'Big, Ugly Law' rips food from hungry children and healthcare from those in need, it funnels more money to ICE to terrorize immigrant communities. Thank you to Sui Chung from Americans For Immigrant Justice for highlighting this and fighting for immigrant justice nationwide.

Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com

The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
