Arthur & Edy’s Mom Resists

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

#Ugh🤢✅

For my forever Space Sis: 🎂

💞

I am so sad. Absolutely at a loss for words.

Post-spay and neuter recovery going well for Arthur & Edina! Edina popped a suture so we had to get a few staples added … she’s healing nicely though and will be flowering collar-free this week!

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

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

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

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.

As hard as it is to smile right now, this little face does it for me. Edina just went through her spay and looks adorable in her post-surgery flower cone! Arthur is doing well after his neuter procedure as well. Look at this little peanut girl!

Friends — I’d like to talk with you about a difficult subject. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-a-national-trauma

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Imagine paying rent, buying groceries, and then get a bill with your insurance tripling. This could hit your inbox—and your future.

HOW IT STARTED: $307

HOW IT’S GOING: $964

A new survey just revealed that far more Americans blame Donald Trump and Republicans for the government shutdown than Democrats.

Thank you, Marc! There is absolutely no reason why this sensitive information should be released.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA.

I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

"If we lose hope, we're doomed."

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Rest In Peace, beautiful soul.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.

We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.

We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Arthur & Edina are 6 months old come October 1st! How the time flies!
