Worth noting: progressive caucus member Rep. Jason Powell has also been stripped of committee assignments

If a nine year old is getting it, we are doing well.

Yes, this is the single best insider story I've read about the Democrats' strategic and tactical mistakes (and what has started to work).

Truer words have never been spoken.

Uh-oh. @radiofreetom.bsky.social says the new US counterterrorism strategy reads more like notes for a campaign speech -- "a mess, replete with typos, hyperbolic assertions, and an obsession with Joe Biden." I feel safer already. Not. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

🚨BREAKING: A Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent visited the home of Milwaukee County’s elections director earlier this week in an attempt to question her, the county clerk has said. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here's what you do long-term: 1. S&P 500 Index Fund in your Roth IRA (~10%/year historically, tax-free) 2. Real estate (beats inflation over time) 3. Hard assets & commodities 4. Invest in your skills and income potential

When you flood the economy with cash, each dollar buys less. More dollars chasing the same goods. Prices rise. Your purchasing power shrinks. It's basic supply and demand. The worst part? Wages don't keep up.

The US dollar lost 30% of its value over the last 6 years. Think about what that actually means. $100K in 2018 is equivalent to $70K today. When the government prints more money, your dollars lose their value. You pay more for the same things. Groceries. Rent. Gas.

Canvassing season is officially here. Huge shoutout to our amazing volunteers in Traverse City who showed up in 24 degree weather in the middle of the day on a Wednesday to knock doors with me!

Empathy?

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives making this point:

“[Donald Trump] has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country.”

It’s on. It’s a billionaire vs. a mechanic. This race could transform America. We’re winning by 5 in our last poll. Join our movement at osbornforsenate.com

The orders, issued by the agency’s Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Space Bureau, aren’t surprising given that FCC Chairman Brendan Carr essentially forced EchoStar to sell the licenses.

It's possible Trump invited the executives to remind China that it depends on US tech firms and can’t afford to push Trump too far, but that doesn’t guarantee China will be intimidated.

Politicians have made public statements that sent prices up or down. They've sat on committees that set policy for entire industries they invested in. They've voted on legislation that directly moved stocks they held. And none of it is technically illegal.

Trump's other stock buys include: Intel #$INTC Palantir #$PLTR Sandisk #$SNDK NVIDIA #$NVDA

PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST REVEALED HIS LATEST STOCK TRADES. He filed new financial reports with the Office of Government Ethics. On May 8th he told the whole country to 'Go buy Dell.' The stock shot up 12% that day. He owned #$DELL the whole time.

Jewish students & their families should never have to endure this hatred. No one should. (2/2)

A despicable display of antisemitism was raised in Washington Square Park as NYU students prepared to graduate. Thanks to NYU & NYPD 6th Precinct for taking swift action to remove the hateful flag & working to identify whoever is responsible. (1/2)

Iowans haven't changed, our political system has. We need leaders willing to say it's broken and who are ready to challenge the status quo to do so.

As a mom, my biggest fear is getting a robocall from my daughter’s school saying there’s an active shooter. Common-sense gun laws shouldn’t be controversial, and I’ll take this fight head-on in Congress.

- Average MBA debt sits around $80K-$100K (before interest kicks in) The ROI is falling. The risk is rising. Business schools are in panic mode right now. For decades, schools sold one idea. Pay $150K now. Earn it back in 3 years. That math doesn't work anymore. The scam is finally collapsing.

Business schools are now cutting MBA programs by as much as 50% due to falling demand. Applications are collapsing and the reasons are impossible to ignore: - AI is wiping out the white-collar jobs MBAs were built to unlock - The job market for new grads is the weakest it's been in years

As Kevin O’Leary fearmongers about China winning the A.I. Race his buddy Trump is desperately trying to sell NVIDIA chips to China. Make that makes sense. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYVDZdY...

“I don’t want my kids who live in New York being told what to eat for breakfast by the Chinese.”🤔 A cutdown of Tucker & fearmongering MAGA Canadian billionaire Kevin O’leary’s conversation about A.I. and a giant data center he’s forcing into Utah…

I’m proud to have their endorsement in this race. I’ll fight like hell to support them, from their picket lines to the halls of Congress. (2/2)

New York’s nurses are healthcare heroes. They showed up & saved lives during the pandemic, like they do for us every single day. The least we can do is fight alongside @nynurses.bsky.social for fair wages, better benefits & safe staffing. (1/2)

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

“The discrepancy between the honorable conduct expected of prosecutors and DOJ’s tactics in this case is unsettling... “DOJ has proven unworthy of this trust at every point in this case... “This reckless disregard for the duty of candor owed the court is appalling www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

my favorite genre of international dialogue

none of these people actually want to be doing the job. they want to be celebrities

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is not about keeping us safe. ICE is about normalizing the use of government thugs on your streets. ICE is about keeping the people in power safe from the people.

As with many recent layoffs at tech companies, Cisco’s job losses were attributed primarily to the growth of AI.

Thank you, Chris! Senate seats do not belong to political dynasties or career politicians. They belong to the people. I reaffirm my commitment to be a true public servant and fight for the people of New Hampshire. #nhpolitics #endorsement

🚨NEWS: Attorney w/ firm representing woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in early 80s—and Trump’s FBI interviewed 4x—tells us: “Trump and his admin are willfully covering up something, willfully trying to withhold documents…this is a cover up,” Arick Fudali says

That’s why I am running for Congress, because America deserves real leadership. But I need your help to get there. Can you chip in $10, or anything you can, to help power my campaign through our Primary in June and onto the general election? gc4ny.com/WH-Ballroom

That Orange Buffon in the White House will happily spend $1 billion on a f*cking ballroom, but God forbid the people want some “measly” health care, ohhh heaven’s be that’s too expensive. I can’t stand Trump and MAGA Republicans. They are selfish, egotistical, and stupid.

Charlie Angus: "To say he doesn't care about the economic effects [of the war in Iran] — of course he doesn't, he's burning his country to the ground. So China, I think, will be another example of Donald Trump bending his knee to those who are more powerful to him while betraying his own people."

"I view myself as sort of a special teams player ... I'm gonna come in for a term and work to get rid [Trump] and then work for one more term, max, to pass legislation that makes sure, or does the best we can to make sure that this kind of autocracy, and this kind of corruption never happens again."
