I've been finding these meetings to be very worthwhile.

Billionaires’ wealth surged $6.5tn over past decade, Oxfam reports Real-terms gains of $33.9tn for world’s richest 1% ‘enough to end annual global poverty 22 times over’, charity says

Democrats vote to reject Senate crypto bill All Democrats and three Republicans — including Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Josh Hawley of Missouri — voted against the effort.

Senate Democrats unified in opposition to block the crypto-friendly bill that would have enabled Trump’s corruption. We were worried about losing some Democrats on this vote, so thank you for speaking up over the last day. Your calls definitely made a difference.

So no new yacht this year. Boo hoo.

Can't be said enough.

Trump's IRS apparently plans to follow through on his threat to revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status. That would violate the only tax provision most people have heard of, 26 USC § 501(c)(3), and also violate the First Amendment. Details on the blog, where I urge Harvard to fight fiercely. 👇

Keep up the good work

Turns out people want their dems to fight for their values and protect due process

Jim, a Republican farmer who voted for Trump three times has just lost half his income.

HUNDREDS of protests and MILLIONS of protesters in big cities and small towns all across America today.
From Washington D.C. to St. Paul, Minnesota. New York City to Chicago.
Hartford, Connecticut to Phoenix, Arizona — and absolutely everywhere in between.

The “50501” movement is…

Pope Sends Deputy to Lecture Vance on Compassion at Vatican Vance had an “an exchange of opinions” with Cardinal Pietro Parolin that touched on migration, the Vatican said.

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement."

At least a thousand in Seattle

Wow!

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Due process isn’t optional in America—it’s guaranteed

Trump is NOT a king—he’s a president bound by our constitution

In America, the government doesn’t get to grab people off the streets, skip the courtroom, and send them straight to a foreign prison.

Wake Up America!

I didn’t realize this was nationwide.

Everyone come out!!

I’m fricking serious. I’ll now if you’ve been there or not.

Meiselas: A 20-year-old American citizen was being held by ICE. Protests happened all day, and as public pressure mounted… This guy is an American citizen. But the public pressure was so intense that the Trump regime folded. He was released

Absolutely! Vote with your wallet.

Wow: Bernie Sanders took the Coachella stage tonight to admonish Trump and Musk.

Now this is how it’s done.
