When billionaires control the media, the public loses. Outlets meant to inform and empower us are being gutted for profit — and we're paying the price. 📖 Read more in this powerful @salonnewsroom.bsky.social piece by our President & CEO, @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social: www.salon.com/2025/05/26/t...

Mind you, pre-Trump, Canada was leaning towards the Conservative Party. This is as much of a rebuke of Trump as it was conservatism. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

And exactly how is this making America great? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Crazy to know we’re living under authoritarian rule, the Constitution is being disregarded, people are being disappeared, our government is being dismantled, our economy is being destroyed, and half of Congress is hiding from their constituents.

Just disgusting www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

If this isn’t a “let them eat cake” moment, I don’t know what is. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

💙 DC never disappoints. #handsoff

In North Carolina we witnessing one of the worst cases of voter disenfranchisement in modern history. This decision should not be held in any partisan court.

I’m so afraid to look at my 401k

They really don’t care about us. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...

“‘A president does not set election law and never will,’ said @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social, president and CEO of Common Cause” apnews.com/article/trum...

They literally don’t give a damn that our national security was compromised. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/u...

The gross incompetence and pure stupidity is not surprising but it should also have us all asking what else they doing that could put us and our national security at risk. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Trump and Musk are only out for themselves and other corrupt billionaires. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/u...

Jesus, help us.

Essentially, they are using the full power of the United States government to go after anyone who does or has challenged Trump.

Canadians are some of the NICEST people and have always been great neighbors. This is so embarrassing. I really hope they hold their ground against this reckless tyrant.

My sister in law has worked for the federal government for 34 years. She is 8 months shy of retirement and just found out she’s being let go and may not get her retirement benefits because she’s not going to make it to 35 years.This is how the Trump/Musk administration treats public servants.

They are an independent nonprofit! Congress must put an end to this. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

This budget will decimate the city of Washington, DC. I’m disgusted that any Democrat would vote for this garbage CR that does nothing but hurt people.

There is absolutely no reason for any member of the Senate to vote for a CR that would harm people. Full stop. If Democrats think letting the people suffer without putting up a fight they are delusional.

This is the energy I want to see out of the Dems. Don’t let this shit slide or allow them to dehumanize people.

I know former Presidents don’t like to talk shit about sitting Presidents but I’m going to need Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and Barack Obama to come out of retirement and speak up about what’s happening in our country because we need help here.

Honestly, it’s pretty remarkable. It took them less than 2 months to destroy the economy. Next up: predatory buy outs by the rich all over the place. Suggestion: take some tums before you check your 401k.

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

My child is a veteran and already struggles to get adequate healthcare because the VA is currently severely understaffed. The depth of their disdain for our country and our service members who have given us everything knows no bottom. apnews.com/article/vete...

Trump and Musk took away funding for cancer research.

The exploitation of people’s pain and tragedy for political gain is so deeply sad and disturbing.

Every Democrat should walk out!!

Donald Trump is a liar.

The disrespect is shameful and disgusting. Just a humiliating day for the United States. This administration is an embarrassment. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Ordering groceries and just realized someone making minimum wage would have to work 1.25 hours to buy a dozen eggs.

I am here for this news!

They want to rob the most vulnerable Americans of healthcare to fund tax breaks for the rich. If that’s not a let them eat cake moment, I don’t know what is.

If you are as astounded that @msnbc would acquiesce to Trump by ending The Reid Out with @joyannreid.bsky.social @joy.msnbc.com please support her by letting them know this is NOT okay.

This makes no sense. I’m so disappointed in @msnbc.com. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Why are the most incompetent people also the ones with the most hubris? Further proof that having money does not equal having intelligence. That email to federal workers was another level of stupidity and cruelty.

“He said he was going to drain the swamp. He brought the whole Everglades to Washington" says our President & CEO @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social about Donald Trump while discussing this administration's corruption with @thedailybeast.bsky.social

Funny how it’s always the poor and working class who have to endure the hardship while the rich get richer.

“We are forced to ask ourselves if The Washington Post — a pillar of investigative journalism during Watergate — is unwilling to challenge those in power.” -Common Cause President & CEO @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/m...

Spot on. This will also result in a large transfer of wealth from government to the private sector with devastating results for the country.

This is not the party of Ronald Reagan. This is the party of Vladimir Putin. God help us all. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

To think, there are a lot of people who not only voted for this but are giddy that it’s happening.

They are erasing history in front of our eyes.
