That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Memorial for George Floyd at the Say Their Names cemetery

Memorial for George Floyd at the Say Their Names cemetery

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today.

The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.Β 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Socialism is what they called public power.Β 

Socialism is what they called social security.Β 
Β 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Β 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Tell Congress: Reject the SAVE Act The SAVE Act could block millions of American citizens from voting.

Do you know where your birth certificate is? Millions of Americans don’t. But under the SAVE Act, providing documents like a birth certificate or passport would be required to register to vote. Send Congress a message demanding that they reject this sweeping voter restriction bill:
