The most corrupt administration in generations. Trump’s conflicts of interest and grifting off his offices is astounding, and deeply violative of our constitution and shared values.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

OK guys, post your best signs from today for entry into my Top 15 No Kings Sign Contest.

One of my favs

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

I mean irony has already been crushed and trampled by this administration, but really???

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Thune warns Democrats about Russ Vought: ‘We don’t control what he’s going to do’ The Senate majority leader spoke out as some Republicans express qualms about the White House slash-and-burn campaign.

"We don't control what he's going to do" says Leader Thune as he literally tries to give Vought a blank check to do whatever the hell he wants.

Don't let them gaslight you — Senate Republicans are complicit in everything coming out of this White House.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election.

In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

Jimmy Kimmel to Return to ABC on Tuesday After Show’s Controversial Suspension The Walt Disney company in a new statement says the move was made "to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country."

I’m glad Jimmy’s back.

But Brendan Carr still needs to resign.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Solitary confinement is inhumane and part of a larger pattern of systemic abuse against people in ICE detention — this torturous practice must end.

Democrats now have a huge opening to go on the offensive. Between the RFK vaccine disaster, the Homan bribe, Trump's nakedly corrupt DM to Bondi, and Brendan Carr breaking the law, they should turn on the firehose. As should the press.

Doomers will be blocked. TY for your attention to this matter.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income.

Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Patel says can't release Epstein files because of courts. But Judge Berman said that grand jury materials "pale in comparison" to the files Justice/FBI have from 2006 & 2018 investigation.

Don't fall for the headfake. Stand with Rep. Thomas Massie & me -- full release of Epstein files!

LIVE: Murphy, Schumer, Crow Announce The No Political Enemies Act YouTube video by Senator Chris Murphy

Tune in as we introduce the No Political Enemies Act.

We aren't going to lie down as Trump tries to destroy free speech in this country.

A New York City Broadway dancer, Mar Garcia, was taken by ICE yesterday. No one knows where he is. While I have an entertainment lawyer, I do not know an immigration lawyer. If someone can help us with this, I would like to find out where he is and to make sure that he is safe.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

Supreme Court Lifts Restrictions on L.A. Immigration Stops

The 3-justice dissent was right:“We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, [we] dissent.”

Trump reportedly owns more than $600,000 in shares of Nvidia and Apple.

Both companies have financially benefited from special concessions Trump made to them while in office.

The president is profiting off the policies he sets. This is corruption in its rawest form.

NBC News Chicago headline: 5th grader says friend saved him before getting shot in Minneapolis church shooting

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot.

It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place.

Ban assault weapons again now.

Cash bail creates a two-tiered system of justice where the wealthy can buy their way out of jail.

Cashless bail lets judges detain people based on flight risk and community threat, rather than financial means, and does not raise crime rates.

Don't fall for Trump's lies.
