The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

YouTube video by Robert Reich How to Take the Fight to the Oligarchy

People ask me all the time: how do we actually fight the oligarchy?

Here's my answer.

According to new data released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there have now been more measles cases in 2025 than in any other year since the contagious virus was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

ICE is going to get someone killed.

This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District.

If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car.

Hope everyone’s OK.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

The U.S. Is Switching Sides Donald Trump is giving Vladimir Putin every incentive to keep killing Ukrainians.

"the American realignment with Russia and against Ukraine and Europe is gathering pace—not merely in rhetoric but in reality"

“The sun sets in the East. I said that. The president said that. How many times do we have to tell you?”

#Florida sheriff who threatened to kill "No Kings" protesters has a history of corruption, racial profiling and bribery accusations www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period.

This shit is out of control.

Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

It’s a bribery free-for-all.

Tampa Bay pastor, father of five detained in Trump's immigration crackdown It's another case that shows the human toll of Trump's immigration crackdown.

A #Florida pastor & father of five with NO criminal record is among the thousands of undocumented immigrants detained amid President Convicted Felon's mass deportation scheme. www.axios.com/local/tampa-... via @axios.com

This is the disgrace of a society.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Trump cut staffing at the VA, and now Dallas vets are waiting months for care.

Surgeries are being delayed. Vets are being left without mental health care.

I’ve called for an investigation—because if you claim to support veterans, act like it.

The entire family is corrupt

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing.

it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary.

Grow some balls

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP.

Republicans' budget guts both programs.

Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

We must not allow Trump to accept a $400 million plane from Qatar to scratch his greedy itch

Not to mention the $2 billion investment from a UAE-backed fund in his biz World Liberty Financial

And more--the corruption is STAGGERING

I discussed @velshimsnbc.bsky.social‬

Just a Vessel: Georgia Keeps Legally Dead Pregnant Woman on Life Support Georgia's fetal heartbeat law proves the CONTROL and the CRUELTY have always been the point

In Georgia, women’s bodies are merely human incubators. Just ask Adriana Smith’s family.
