Americans know the economy is rigged against them. President Trump is doubling down by allowing big corporations to rip people off with impunity.

And for World AIDS Day today, I’m reposting this important, sensitive, and profound essay. We all had, and have, our lists of love.

I looked Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon dead in the eye and asked, “Do you think you can shut down the Department of Education?” She said, “No, I don’t have the legal authority to do that.” Yet here we are. Linda McMahon should resign.

Trump's crypto memecoin. Multi-million dinners with CEOs. Firing independent officials in charge of rooting out corruption. Giant tax cuts to Trump's billionaire friends. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in our nation's history.

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:

As families prepare their Thanksgiving dinners, they’re paying over 20% more for some holiday staples compared to last year, including: Onions (56% increase), Spiral hams (49%), Cranberry sauce (22%), And creamed corn (21%). This is Thanksgiving in Trump’s economy.

While Trump is calling the affordability crisis a "con-job," new data shows that utility costs are soaring and families can't keep up.

BIG NEWS OUTTA PITTSBURGH 🔥

Donald Trump just said he'll ask the Supreme Court to freeze SNAP payments AGAIN. His message to the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP? Eat dirt.

We are the wealthiest country on the planet. There is no reason why anyone should go hungry while billion dollar corporations get permanent tax cuts. While veterans are refused care at VA hospitals because their staffing has been cut by 30k. Donate to food banks and food drives if you are able.

Intuit, parent company of TurboTax, donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Always follow the money.

The Trump Administration continues to resist its responsibility to feed our residents. Every day they delay, families are at risk of going hungry. We're urging the court to hold them accountable and deliver full benefits to the millions of Americans who rely on SNAP.

Donald Trump’s war on SNAP.

Donald Trump’s cruelty is endless. He just cut a program that helps people who are blind run businesses.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

“Only in blue cities” Right. www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...

They broke the republican supermajority in the Mississippi state senate respect to the organizers and power to the people

Some political experts will want to dismiss @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's win as a New York phenomenon. But in reality: The bold, progressive candidate who campaigned on a real affordability agenda won. And affordability candidates won all across America.

New map of the cool parts of NYC just dropped.

Two federal courts have told Trump to pay SNAP benefits. But he’s still threatening to break the law and delay payments. Trump is trying to use hungry children, veterans, and seniors as a political bargaining chip. He wants to force people to go hungry until he gets his way.

On Friday night, Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party themed "A little party never killed nobody.” On Monday morning, the Trump administration told a judge it will only PARTIALLY fund SNAP and 40 million Americans should expect delays for food benefits.

Since Donald Trump took office, electricity prices have gone up by 11%. If only Trump cared about lowering costs as much as his new White House bathroom.

One of the top reasons people go broke? Medical debt. With health insurance premiums spiking from RFK Jr. and Trump's cuts, how many more Americans will be forced to take on medical debt and go bankrupt?

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Thanks to Trump, 42 MILLION Americans will miss out on food assistance funds starting November 1. Congress has already passed a law that SNAP benefits should not be interrupted. The money is there. Donald Trump is trying to use hungry kids and veterans for political leverage.

here's the video

Spoiler alert: if people are searching for second jobs at record high numbers, that means the economy is in a pretty bad shape. Donald Trump is making America unaffordable.

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

Every single member of @housedemocrats.bsky.social need to start being seen visibly working food lines every single day. The message needs to be clear who wants to feed America and who does not.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

7 things the Trump administration could do instead of sending money to Argentina: - Lower health insurance premiums - Restore family food assistance - Cancel student debt - Fund public media - Restore USAID - Fund military child care for 20 years - Fund the CFPB for 50 years

FOLLOW THE MONEY: Billionaires and corporations with business in front of the Trump administration are coughing up millions to build Trump's BALLROOM. What are these companies getting in return? I'm pushing for answers.

Trump thinks he is a king that can decide how every nickel in the U.S. budget is spent. That’s not what the Constitution says. If Congressional Republicans would grow a spine, we could stop this right now, get the government reopened, and get federal employees paid.

If Congress does not act, nearly 22 million Americans will see their health insurance premiums more than DOUBLE on average. Democrats want to lower those costs. Republicans shut down the entire government instead of coming to the table to prevent this crisis.

Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice. He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education. What kind of person abandons kids with special needs?

Now that we have even more reasons to boycott Spotify, I thought I’d repost this video from @cutoffthespigot.bsky.social with recommendations for more ethical alternatives.

The richest people in the country aren’t stressing that their health care costs could double. No, they’re getting tax breaks. Thanks to Trump, the super wealthy have never had it this good. Working people are suffering from Trump’s higher costs.

"Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer." That's who ICE arrested and disappeared as part of Donald Trump's immigration policy. It's outrageous. I've been pressing for answers and I'll keep pushing for accountability.

Americans lost over $240 million of their hard-earned savings to crypto ATM scams this year. The companies running these machines profit while doing little to stop it. We need rules that protect people, not profits and scammers.

You might be losing your health care, but don’t worry — Republicans are hard at work wining and dining billionaires to fund Trump’s new ballroom.

Some families in America are on track to pay over $22,000 more per YEAR for their health insurance. Where are their Republican senators?

Donald Trump is making it easier for you to get discriminated against when trying to rent or buy a home. Housing is out of reach for too many Americans and Trump is making it worse.

This is our moment to fight back. It’s about health care for millions of people, and saying we’ve had enough.

The President of the United States is openly seeking revenge on his political opponents. First Jim Comey. Now Tish James. Anyone who seeks to hold Donald Trump accountable could be next. Trump is ripping a page right out of the authoritarian handbook.

It’s the “workstations” part that’s so funny. Start checking the paperclips

Since Day One, Donald Trump has made it harder for families to get help from the IRS. Now, he's using the Republican shutdown to gut the IRS even more. Billionaires get tax breaks while families have their health care ripped away.
