Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

An avalanche of stupid

No biggie. This man is temporarily in charge of, and Trump wants to put him permanently in charge of, one of the two United States Attorney’s offices that handle the most national-security matters.

Fox removed the stock market ticker from their broadcasts.

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

Breaking: Trump’s National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and his team used their personal Gmail accounts for work, including to handle sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems.

April 5th is a big day. Let your voices be heard, but stay safe!

Hillary Clinton in a new NYT op-ed:

“As a businessman, he bankrupted his Atlantic City casinos. Now he’s gambling with the national security of the United States. If this continues, a group chat foul will be the least of our concerns, and all the fist and flag emojis in the world won’t save us.” 🍿

Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵

It appears that Kristi Noem may have worn a $60K Rolex during her visit to the El Salvadoran prison camp today.

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.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:

If you are a Southern California person upset about @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, the theatre his book tour will be at on 3/23 is the Moss Theatre.

Their phone number is 310-828-5582

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.

Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters

Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Many hours have passed and I’ve thought about what happened in the Senate some more.

And you know what? I’m still mad as hell.

I may just repost their names every day until everyone knows them by heart.

If you’re in the neighborhood…

I called Canadian Premiers Doug Ford and Wab Kinew today as we try to find a way through this unnecessary and costly trade war.

While the President may not value the partnerships that contribute billions of dollars to our economy, Minnesota does.

Leavitt: "He feels strongly that it would be very beneficial for the Canadian people to be the 51st state of the United States."
