The Supreme Court just weakened a key check on power by limiting nationwide injunctions. It’s not about left vs. rightβ€”it’s about whether courts can still protect us as a co-equal branch. Democracy doesn’t die in one moment. It erodes decision by decision.

I grew up during a presidency that lied about weapons of mass destruction and dragged us into a war that left thousands of Americans dead or wounded for nothing.

We remember. We haven’t forgotten.
Americans don’t want war. We want truth, peace, and leadership that values lives over power.

The entire federal government is imploding and being hacked away with a chainsaw, thousands of people out of work, systems and agencies being shuttered β€”but you better believe I was reminded three times that my student loan payment is due today. πŸ™„

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it should’ve been Bernie in 2016.

Just recently talked to yet another person who has voted for Trump but loves Bernie and think he’s β€œmiddle of the road” and β€œcommon sense” when it comes to working people’s issues.

I’ve never seen a president ruin an economy on purpose.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.

If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.

If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

Agree. Schumer and Jeffries are weak and they need to go. With leadership like this, it’s not even an opposition party. 🀬😑😀

The #Tesla board should shed itself of Elon before he completely ruins the brand and bankrupts the company.

If the education department is closing does that mean my student loans disappear?

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

You don’t get to break the system, then yell that it’s broken and you need to β€œsave it” by gutting and outsourcing it. Wake up, people! He’s the arsonist playing the fireman!

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.
