Yikes. For the first time in 3 years inflation is outpacing wages. Trump’s policies—and Republicans’ refusal to push back on them—are driving the economy into the ground.

America: Gas prices are killing us! Trump: But the stock market. Womp womp.

Breaking: a new Public Citizen report just dropped: For-profit detention companies like GEO Group & Core Civic are paying ICE detainees $1 a day to cook, clean, and run their facilities — then threatening solitary if they refuse. Meanwhile, GEO Group's profits jumped from $32M to $254M in 1 year.

Checking in with Trump supporters after a banner day on the world stage. 🙄

Listening to these Trump voters wake up and realize how badly they’ve been scammed is mostly enraging, but a tiny bit entertaining as well… but in the end, mostly enraging again.

HUGE breaking news about sexual misconduct at ICE and CBP, and the investigative report that just forced CBP head Michael Banks to resign. 👏👏

Turns out that Americans get really, really, REALLY excited about good government, taxing the rich, and balanced budgets. Who’da thunk it?

Rep. Huffman: Who is the arch being built for? Burgum: Well, for the American people Rep. Huffman: We're going to build one just a little taller than the one in Pyongyang. Donald Trump was asked this question, and he said this arch is for him.

Want to fight back against the Republicans trying to take away our votes? SEND THIS VIDEO TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN GEORGIA!! 🔥🔥🍑🍑 And if you live in GA for God’s sake vote on 5/19 (or in early vote until the 15th) as if your freedom depended on it. It may. Info in links in first comment below.

CNN has new polling numbers out on Trump and the economy and they are genuinely catastrophic for the Republican Party. I don’t care how skewed they try to make their maps. They are losing big in November. And they deserve to.

I translate Mike Johnson as he bulllsh*ts the American people once again. 🙄

Burgum: When the sun goes down, solar panels produce zero electricity. The whole machine doesn't work. Rep. Huffman: I request to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the Secretary is unaware of. It's a battery. 😂

Every American has a dog in the redistricting fight. If you think otherwise? You’re about to lose your rights.

Mayor Mamdani just did the impossible. He closed NYC’s 12B budget deficit without cutting any services or raising property taxes on working New Yorkers. How did he do it? Efficiency, cooperation with Albany, and TAXING THE RICH! 🤑 👏

We are witnessing one of the largest rollbacks of voting rights and attacks on Black political power in a generation. It’s time to stand up and fight back. The civil rights leaders who poured their literal blood, sweat, and tears into getting the Voting Rights Act passed deserve no less.

Who would have thought that starting a war of choice, massively increasing taxes on goods at home, killing all the clean energy projects that were creating jobs and lowering utility bills, neglecting American farmers, and deporting the workers who fuel our economy would lead to higher prices?

Dr. Oz says we’re “underbabied.” What we actually are? Underwater.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy spent seven months filming a road trip reality show while on the job. The sponsors? Boeing, Shell, Toyota, United Airlines, and Royal Caribbean — companies he oversees and regulates. More corruption from the most corrupt administration in American history.

Oil companies are taking in massive profits while you can’t afford gas to get to work. And Trump continues the war, because ultimately it’s profitable to industries who paid him off. What a scam. And Americans CHOSE this. Wild.

BOMBSHELL! Trump admin cut Andean hantavirus research last year. Then his admin fired the CDC’s cruise ship outbreak team. Now there’s a deadly hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship with Americans exposed. Trump says it “should be fine.” Thats not a strategy. He is making us less safe.

Here’s an easy way to pull yourself out of the gloom: do something nice for a mom incarcerated at Dilley detention center this Mother’s Day. It’s just an online form. It takes a couple of minutes and it’ll mean the world to these families. Link in first comment below.

Trump voters really have a self destructive bent.

The hypocrisy is just…🤯. MS NOW airs compilation of Republicans reacting to gas prices under Biden vs. higher prices under Trump.

Reporter: How much more is my summer vacation going to cost? I don't have great news for you. For a family, it's going to be about $4,000 this year. That's a lot of money. It's so much money that almost half of people said, 'Forget the whole thing. I'm just going to stay at home.'

Yes, the ruling in Virginia is devastating, unfair, and outrageous. But does it mean we’re not going to win the house in November? Only if we decide it does. We must not do that.

The purported suicide note from Jeffrey Epstein sounds an awful lot like someone we know…if Trump dictated a fake one you have to admit it would sound JUST LIKE THIS.

The Tennessee legislature just passed new congressional maps that will likely eliminate the one Black seat in the state. It’s enraging. But to quote Rep. Pearson, "We’ve got to do something.“ Sign up to be a poll worker at Powerthepolls.org. Don’t let Jim Crow win.

Republicans are killing people—literally & figuratively—with their refusal to extent the ACA premium tax credits. Premiums are up 58% on average & middle aged people are getting hit the hardest. 5M people have already fallen off of the ACA completely. And the Medicaid cuts haven’t even hit yet.

Are we at war or aren’t we? Either way this administration is getting away with some seriously duplicitous stuff. Demand better

The Hanta virus is scary. But a government stripped of all expertise and cut to the very bones? Thats downright terrifying.

One small town mayor decided to stand up to Border Czar—and all around fascist—Tom Homan. You love to see it!

Unbelievable. Republicans are already working on a third reconciliation bill. It would give massive sums to the Pentagon and give rich people and corporations more tax cuts…to pay for it they would cut what’s left of our healthcare funding. Make a ton of noise NOW Please folks.

ICYMI Rep Jared Huffman (D-CA) ripped into Republicans on the Natural Resources Committee last week for acting as if everything is normal in the face of Trump’s madness. MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE!! 👏👏

Miss Rachel posted a list of the Dem members of Congress who have spoken out about Dilley Detention Center. It is disappointingly short. I don’t expect Repubs to do anything to help children, ever. But Democrats are supposed to be better.

The FBI diverted nearly 1 in 4 employees to do ICE's job. Then we went to war with Iran with a depleted counterterrorism force. Congress already gave ICE $140 billion last year — now they want $140 billion more. You are less safe. Great reporting by @theintercept.com. Link in first comment.

If you’re angry about the Met Gala last night you can channel that anger into your purchasing choices. It matters. Withhold your money from Amazon, Home Depot, Starbucks, ChatGPT, Paramount+, Hilton, Target, DoorDash—I could go on. Remember your purchases matter. Use them strategically!

It’s Met Gala day! Let me show you my favorite look!

Last week SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act. This week “Jim Crow” redistricting sessions are already in the works. We have a strategy to fight back. @statesprojectus.bsky.social report is below. It’s not long please read, share and donate if you can!

I read Rebecca Solnit’s “The Beginning Comes After the End” and it is THE book for this moment. It’s given me renewed energy for this fight and reminded me of how far we’ve already come. And if you’re in the Los Angeles area, consider coming to the writers Bloc event tomorrow, Sunday, May 3!

Congressional Republicans let Obamacare subsidies expire. Now millions are losing coverage — and the Trump admin is calling it a success. Here’s what’s actually happening.

A federal circuit court of appeals has just blocked the mailing of mifepristone, one of the two pills used in medication ab*rtion. This will absolutely harm access to reproductive care in this country.

🎯🎯

No more playing nice, Democrats. Hit back hard or step aside for those who will.

Some footage from the May Day protest downtown—so powerful! The workers of this country are ready to SHUT IT DOWN! 👊

Massive May Day march in Downtown LA right now! The energy is off the charts!

David Huerta, president of SEIU, was detained by ICE for several days last year. Today he’s at a May Day protest in Downtown LA fighting for workers! THAT’S courage! #mayday

This is an important read. The TLDR: post-Callais Dems can fight fire with fire and redraw maps aggressively to more or less match Republican gains. It simply requires determination and a plan…and winning as many state legislative seats as possible in 2026. newrepublic.com/article/2098...

The billionaires are trying to buy off NY Gov Kathy Hochul and there’s a real fear she may side with them instead of working New Yorkers. Please send this video to anyone you know in New York and ask them to call NOW! She’ll be making a decision in the next 48 hours. Script in first comment.

Yesterday the House passed a three year clean extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and FORTY TWO DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR IT. I need you to call them and give them hell, please.

A few words on hope, and devastation, from the inestimable Vaclav Havel.
