Actually I don't find it funny at all. We've wasted $72 billion, seriously made life harder and more expensive for those in our country that can least afford it. It's a debacle that infuriates me.

This is the scene at the Tennessee Capitol as we get closer to a final vote.

Instead of capping benefits, let's scrap the cap on Social Security contributions — so that millionaires and billionaires finally pay the same rate as the rest of us!

Shell made nearly $7 billion in profit in the first three months of 2026—double the previous period. BP's Q1 profits also doubled to $3.2 billion. While millions feel economic pain from the disruption of the Iran War, oil and gas companies are making massive sums of money.

I find it absolutely bizarre that people think in January 2029 all of this ends. What’s happened to our society cannot be undone. People have died. Many more will before then. These people don’t believe in the peaceful transfer of power as we know.. there was an insurrection. They won’t be leaving.

Had a productive meeting with Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya to talk about building an economy that delivers for working New Yorkers. From affordable groceries to preparing our city for the World Cup, public servants and private sector leaders must work together for the people.

To those of you who claim there isn't enough money for healthcare, while spending billions on endless wars and corporate giveaways: We don't believe you. Hands off Medicaid. Hands off Medicare. Hands off affordable healthcare! - Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ)

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.

Huge❗️ @maiforus.bsky.social just earned the Sacramento Bee’s endorsement—their first backing of a challenger in 20+ years! Calling her a “people’s candidate” who embodies Sacramento today, when Matsui refuses to show up. We stand with Mai who is ready to fight for working families.

Standing before the White House to demand we close the concentration camps where roughly 70K people are now forced to endure horrific conditions by virtue of who they are, not anything they've done. #CloseTheCamps #BringThemHome

Protesters are singing civil rights songs in the Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee.

Huge crowd cheering for and thanking Senator London Lamar as she enters a committee room. Memphians are at the Capitol protesting redistricting. #tnpol

💥💥BOOM💥💥 Kudos to Costco. They didn't capitulate to lardass and were rewarded by an 18% increase in business! www.businessinsider.com/costco-store...

For working people, buying groceries is too damn expensive. And families are not feeling hopeful that their situation will improve. How can they? Prices go up, companies' profits go up, but their salaries remain the same. We must change that. That's why we must pass my Living Wage for All Act.

Thirty years of this is more than enough.

BREAKING: The FBI is raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, according to Fox News, who was conveniently on the scene. 1/4

When Donald's stupid, tacky ballroom was estimated to cost $200 million and be privately funded: Donald planned to pocket anything over the actual cost. He then raised the estimate to $400 million to account for this corruption. Now, he wants taxpayers to pay $1 billion so he can pocket even more.

Kurt Loder turns 81 today. We are old as fuck.

Color vision test: What number do you see?

So much for talking down Mexico, huh?! 👇 Shine on MEXICO, shine on. 😎✨

BREAKING: Congressman Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) is introducing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for Supreme Court Justices. The ROBE Act would establish 18-year term limits for justices.

Texas voters just sent the book banners packing. Not in California. Not in New York. In Texas. Across the state, voters went to the polls and threw out right-wing school board members who built their local political brands on book bans, anti-LGBTQ policies and Christian nationalist culture-war panic

Which is the backwards country now, United States?

Asheville, NC high schoolers are currently schooling the presidency on what real leadership looks like. It is inspiring to see thousands marching behind a generation that is done waiting for permission from a government that doesn't care about the people.

Thirty years ago Susan Collins pledged to retire after two terms, saying "12 years is enough." Twelve years of Susan Collins is, indeed, much more than enough. I have never agreed with the Senator more.

All of us

Looks like voters in CD7 are already getting their ballots in the mail. It's still surreal and I couldn't be here without yall. Let's make history together, turn your ballots in by June 2.

Just another late Saturday night writing about courts and democracy. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

May Day Marches across the US yesterday! Such a beautiful day to celebrate and to fight against the oligarchy and the patriarchy.

We wanted to give a shoutout to Raleigh, NC for May Day. ✊💚

The Supreme Court blatantly exceeds its constitutional authority and undermines its legitimacy when it acts like a super legislature rewriting laws it doesn’t like.

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

NETANYAHU is threatening the WORLD, our GOVERNMENTS are saying we CITIZENS in our own COUNTRIES are antisemitic for not bowing down to the RHETORIC that ISRAEL is entitled to do as they FUCKING PLEASE. And if you disagree, well you are antisemitic of course - NOT. FUCK OFF.

Israel is a terrorist state filled with terrorists. Any supporter of Israel is also a terrorist.

The Philippines are celebrating May Day with the burning of a Trump effigy in Manila 🔥 Here in the U.S., “May Day Strong” protests are happening nationwide, involving 500+ unions with thousands taking to the streets in solidarity

I owe my position as Mayor of New York City to the power of working people and I will always govern with them in mind. 

We’ve delivered millions of dollars in corporate settlements to workers — nearly $100K each day we’ve been in office. 

We’re just getting started. Happy May Day, New York.

Elon Musk was paid $158 billion by Tesla last year. That is double the entire budget of the U.S. Department of Education.
