Reminder: no matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their proposed tax cuts without gutting Medicaid and other programs that millions of people rely on.

Don't believe their lies for a second.

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless.

This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

Supreme Court upholds Biden regulations on 'ghost gun' kits The decision means that the federal government can regulate the easily obtainable gun parts in the same way as firearms purchased from specialist stores.

Y’all love talking about the 2nd Amendment, but let me remind you: even that has limits. Today, the Supreme Court upheld common sense regulations on ghost gunsβ€”and that’s a win for public safety.

This is why idiots, who have not earned their way into the most powerful positions in our government, should not have access to classified information, much less the ability to distribute it.

We have moved from governing by tweet to war by text. Absolutely unfathomable.
