This is our moment to fight back.

Itโ€™s about health care for millions of people, and saying weโ€™ve had enough.

The Real Reason Trump Wants To Invade Chicago and Portland
YouTube video by Robert Reich The Real Reason Trump Wants To Invade Chicago and Portland

Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and heโ€™s following a four point plan to do it.

Hereโ€™s what you need to know about it โ€” and some thoughts on how to respond. www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8v...

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

At least Trumpโ€™s out golfing and enjoying his paid vacation meanwhile, weโ€™re on day four of a government shutdown.

It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.

Thank you to former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra for explaining.

The thing that bothers me so much is not the โ€œwe have to enforce our borders and laws.โ€ We do.

Itโ€™s the giddy joy and celebration they have at the misery of people far less fortunate.

This is illegal, and yes this is the same guy who claimed he'd never heard of Project 2025. But there's a larger point to make here about public service. No one who wins elected office wins 100% of the vote. But everyone who holds public office represents 100% of their electorate.

Remember that this is what the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill was all about. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Why would any Democrat vote for a continuing resolution that greenlights this regime's cruelty?

How out of touch can Donald Trumpโ€™s top economic adviser be?

A 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR.

TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

My message today is the same as it was during the government shutdown 30 years ago: we can't balance the budget on the backs of working people.

Democrats must keep fighting against Trump's cruel healthcare cuts.

Seeing so many people spreading the word about the No Kings rally on October 18th. Trump is scrambling to mobilize as much of the National Guard as he can to control the narrative, he was rattled by the last one on his birthday.

Billionaires are using the anger of the working man to keep themselves in power to get richer on their backs.

Itโ€™s been a massive scam

Itโ€™s starting to feel like martial law with troops being sent into city after city. Trump announced on social media that heโ€™s deploying forces to Portland, escalating his campaign of targeting Democrat-led cities with military presence.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Medicaid Work Requirements, Debunked
Robert Reich Medicaid Work Requirements, Debunked

Georgiaโ€™s Medicaid work requirements program spent two times as much on administrative costs as on health care costs โ€” while preventing thousands of eligible Georgians from accessing health care.

Say it with me: Medicaid work requirements donโ€™t work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMqYttKv1c

After enacting the largest SNAP cuts in history, Trump is now scrapping the federal government's annual report on hunger in America.

The utter cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is planning to hand over major shares of TikTok to his billionaire pals.

Understand this: Trump-friendly billionaires could control even MORE of what you watch โ€” all while lining their own pockets.

The murders of Charlie Kirk and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman are part of a dangerous rise in political violence.

We cannot accept this as the norm.

We must do whatever we can to reduce the anger and hate that are consuming and destroying so much of the country.

Students were eating lunch when they heard the gunshots. Itโ€™s yet another horrific school shooting, and every time my heart breaks for the kids, parents, and communities shattered by gun violence.

We canโ€™t stop demanding change. Congress can and must pass gun safety legislation.
