There’s simply no legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, speculation, and crime.

Doubly ironic because Trump’s national socialism is making fortunes for a small group of top executives who were already fabulously wealthy, while the democratic socialists in the Democratic Party want to tax the wealthy to provide funds for better schools, better wages, and healthcare for all.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Joan Sebastian Guerrero Ruben Ray Martinez Alex Pretti Renee Good Dozens of other innocent lives. These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable. It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

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

Vote susan collins out of office in November. She was the final vote on approving the billions of dollars for ICE😤

People don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into detention centers. They don't want billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a rogue police state. They want healthcare. They want affordable homes. They want their basic needs met.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

The CLARITY Act is the bill supported by the crypto industry to increase their reach into our banking system and broader economy. There are many problems with the bill, but most egregious is that is essentially legalizes Donald Trump's crypto corruption scheme. Let me explain.

Susan Collins voted to give ICE and CBP $70 billion. She owns the consequences of that vote.

A friend called me yesterday, a trumper and clueless to all the law breaking, private police force ICE and their murders, trumps Iran War and tariffs causing high prices plus inflation. He asked how I was and I didn’t mention my hatred of trump. When the call ended I realized the friendship is gone.

As ICE continues its murder spree, some of America's biggest corporations are still profiting from the agency's cruelty.

Trump is turning America into a police state. His forces are ICE and Border Patrol, the National Guard and the U.S. Army, and the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI.

Saw a few GOP lawmakers recently. The level of hate for Nancy Mace is much much higher than I ever knew. From members of congress to staffers. I’ve never threatened to sue a former staffer. She basically does that daily. The country will be better off when she leaves

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

In just six months, Mamdani has already made huge progress on: -Lowering rent -Enacting universal childcare -Taxing the super rich -Improving city buses -Cracking down on junk fees and subscription traps -Protecting gig workers from wage theft This is what delivering for the people looks like.

Why are prices so high on gas, food, meat and everything that is shipped? It’s due to trump with his War on Iran and Tariffs. Don’t get fooled again. Vote the MAGA Republicans out of office this November!

Under no circumstances should the Senate confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/you-wanna-know-why-todd-blanche-should

Trump’s interviews today about the passing of Graham made one thing clear, again, as he immediately promoted the “save” America act: He is incapable of compassion. He made it all about…. Himself. He is a empty hollow “man”

Trump approved disaster aid requests from six red states last week. Two days later, he rejected aid requests from four blue states. Not only is he punishing states who didn’t vote for him, he’s playing politics with people’s lives. Despicable.

Justice Democrats, a political action committee that helps progressive insurgents, is celebrating a string of victories in recent primaries. "People power beats organized money every single time," says @justicedemocrats.com executive director Alexandra Rojas.

The problem isn’t that Americans disagree.The problem is politicians making money from keeping us angry.

The 14th Amendment, ratified July 9, 1868: “All persons born or naturalized in the U.S., and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the U.S. and of the State wherein they reside.” This includes U.S.-born children of immigrants, as reaffirmed in 1898 by SCOTUS. Remember this.

This absolute disgrace of doofus denying FEMA help to Blue States while granting it to the red hat hillbilly states. What a fucking child and a horrible embarrassment to the office of the President.

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will introduce new legislation making ballot seizure before they are counted and certified by a state or county official a felony. In a July 4 recorded speech, Newsom was not shy about who the law targets. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. He apologized for not convicting Trump for January 6th and said that Lindsey Graham is a sissy who is too scared to bring Russian sanctions forward despite promising it for a year. It was a pleasant conversation

ICE fatally shot a man in Houston yesterday. Agents arrested a nun on her way to mass. An Afghan who helped the U.S. military died in ICE detention, one of at least 21 people to die in detention this year. The headlines have moved on, but Trump is still waging his reign of terror.
