In the richest city in America, we cannot simply accept that 500,000 kids go to bed hungry every night.

Powell: "Both supply and demand in the labor market have come down so sharply so quickly. The fact that the unemployment rate has barely moved is kind of remarkable."

This is not about crime. It’s about power. (+ distracting from the Epstein file cover-up)

Yesterday’s announcement of the official call to action begins now. It is just after 6 am in California. We wait to see how many farmworkers join the #StrikeForDignity They asked for just three days, “They will not fire you”. They can say this bc they know no one can do what they do.

Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."

A cop doing the right thing? I think that i might need my fainting chair!

Gavin Newsom spoke yesterday about longtime migrant workers—parents, farm & construction workers, and kids left behind. None had records; many were taken at work. The Trump admin lied: families ARE being separated. This won’t make us safer—but it WILL hurt our economy and food supply.

The war in Ukraine will be over in 24 hours. So will Gaza. There will be 90 trade deals in 90 days. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. Interest on car loans will be tax deductible. No tax on Social Security. He will balance the budget. Tariffs will pay for everything.

The dream is dead

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

Kamala Harris: There were many things that we knew would happen.. I’m not here to say I told you so

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

Tanden: This administration is demonstrating incredible weakness against the Russians, who are 1/14 of our economy. We are a much stronger country. And Donald Trump waited for an hour today for Putin.

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

DIMON: “America First is fine. America alone? If we end up alone because, you know, we're tearing the world asunder? We will have made a mistake.” (via The Transcript) $JPM

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

Auchincloss: DOGE is about distracting Americans from what is happening in Congress, where congressional Republicans are axing Medicaid.

DOGE claims to have "saved" tens of billions in fraudulent government spending, but don't be fooled — all they've really done is illegally cut a bunch of congressionally-appropriated funding that Elon Musk doesn't like.

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

Reporter: You said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza but after a fact-check apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique meant to protect them against HIV.  Musk: First of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect
