Office Hours: What will America learn from today's elections? Friends,

Off-year elections are important both for who’s elected and what the nation learns from them about where we may be headed.

What do you think America will learn from today’s elections? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-what-will-america-learn

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.

Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.

AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

An act of pure community. 💙

A neighbor turned an old plastic shelf into a mobile pantry at Circle Park — “take what you need, leave what you can.”

This is what it means to be a true patriot: caring for one another. 🙌

⁨⚠️Hoosiers, it’s happening⚠️
According to Indianapolis Business Journal, sources confirm that Gov. Mike Braun plans to call a special session for early redistricting. We don’t know yet when this session will occur, but we expect to learn details early this coming week.

Robert Reich "King" Trump’s Reign of Terror | The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich

Are you one of the millions of people heading to a No Kings Day rally today?

Be peaceful. Have fun. Build solidarity.

Heather and I discuss some things to keep in mind as you hit the streets.

"The solution is simple. We need to make sure healthcare is affordable and accessible to all Americans."

YouTube video by Robert Reich The Real Reason Trump Wants To Invade Chicago and Portland

Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and he’s following a four point plan to do it.

Here’s what you need to know about it — and some thoughts on how to respond. www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8v...

Well, this is interesting... 🧐

Sunday thought: Why Trump is doomed Friends,

Rest assured. The seeds of Trump’s destruction have already been sown. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-263

We ask tough questions and demand real answers. If those in power attack journalism, silence scientists, and quietly erase access to research and public data—that’s not patriotism! Real patriotism protects dissent, demands facts, and refuses to be lied to. #TruthBrigade

As one can imagine, I have some thoughts. Here’s a thread no one asked for:

1. SCIENCE IN THE US IS POLITICAL. No matter how much you want to ignore that fact, it is supported by taxpayer dollars and is therefore, political by nature.

2. BUT it has had bipartisan support for decades, which…

Food waste isn’t just wasteful — it’s catastrophic. 🌍

That means eating your leftovers, buying only what you’ll use, and cutting waste really can make a global difference.

Let’s not let “the country of food waste” keep polluting our future. 🍽️♻️

great climate session, @redwineblueusa.bsky.social!

In the age of monarchs, kings issued decrees. Tsars of imperial Russia proclaimed ukases. Dictators of the 20th century made diktats.

Trump issues executive orders. They make him feel powerful. 

But arbitrary power depends on the acquiescence of everyone subjected to it.

Thou shalt not use tariffs to tax working class Americans and then pretend the money is being paid by foreign countries.

Trump’s Big Brutal Bill is law — and the pain is scheduled. ⏳

This @fairshareamerica.bsky.social timeline shows when the worst hits:

📉 Healthcare cuts
💰 Higher taxes on working families
🛑 Slashed safety nets

Y’all really loved this post!

I wanted to wax poetic for a minute about Lysenkoism. I’m adding the rest of the thread below and then I’ll ~explain~

My mission throughout my career as a public servant and as a Member of the U.S. House is to advocate for the most vulnerable in our communities. Any attempt to redistrict now is simply an attempt to silence those very voices. mrvan.house.gov/media/press-...

I just called Gov. Braun (317-232-4567) to say NO to a special session for rigging Indiana’s maps.

Took 60 seconds of waiting on hold before I got the voicemail option. Make your voice heard, too!

#NoSpecialSession #ProtectOurVote #INLeg

Vice President JD Vance is coming to Indy this Thursday to discuss a gerrymandering scheme with Gov. Mike Braun to steal democracy from We the People.
Redistricting isn't due for another 5 years, but the MAGA movement is hell bent on silencing our voices. We won’t let them.

130 Texans died in historic floods. 🌊

The Trump regime cut emergency services, then blamed the stats. 📉

Now they’re rigging maps to stay in power. 🗺️

Texas Dems broke quorum to block Trump’s gerrymander. We back them. ✊

Extra! Extra! 8/3 🎈🎈 Yes! There's still good news!

Trump got mocked on “South Park,” drowned out by bagpipes in Scotland & blocked in court (again). And…

Trump fires Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner after dismal employment report President Donald Trump on Friday removed the head of the agency that produces the monthly jobs figures after a report showed hiring slowed in July and was much weaker in May and June than previously reported.

Trump got a bad #jobsreport 🤔

📉 Only 73k jobs added
📉 Layoffs rising
📈 Tariffs spiking prices

He fired the #BLS commissioner.

Because the data embarrassed him.

This isn’t how a #democraticrepublic works.

It’s how #authoritarian regimes behave.

What’s one piece of “health advice” you’ve seen online that turned out to be total BS—or even dangerous? 💬

We need to talk about how Big Wellness profits off our insecurities while real care gets defunded. 🗣️
