Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death.

Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

Last night, every Senate Democrat voted for my amendment calling for a $17 an hour federal minimum wage while every Republican but 1 opposed it. The movement to raise the minimum wage to a living wage is growing.

In 2025, a job must lift you out of poverty, not keep you in it.

Today, across the country and around the world, tens of thousands of people turned out for what organizers say has been the single biggest day of protests against President Trump and his second-term policies and actions.

Trump’s National Security Firings Come as He Weakens U.S. Cyberdefenses The firing of the head of the National Security Agency was only the latest move that has eroded the country’s fortifications against cyberattacks, especially those targeting elections.

Good job firing the national security officials who DIDN'T accidentally add a reporter to a Signal chat. The orange clown is rolling out the red carpet for Russia, practically begging for increased election interference in 2026 and 2028. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

Trump says things are 'going very well' after worst stock market drop in years over tariffs President Donald Trump is sounding an upbeat note about his tariffs even as the stock market reacted by falling more than 1,600 points.

Trump has a long history of bragging about how he and his rich friends can rush in and buy things when markets tank. No wonder he's perfectly happy with your 401k getting crushed.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

Opinion | America was at its Trumpiest 100 years ago. Here’s how to prevent the worst. During WWI, America lurched toward autocracy. Resistance was minimal.

STATEMENT: Chair Hertel Celebrates Election Integrity Assessment Amid Republican Attacks on Democracy  - Michigan Democratic Party LANSING — Earlier today, news broke that the Secretary of State’s office completed an audit confirming the security of the 2024 election at the same time that Republicans are pushing to put more…

“Democrats are proud to be the only party of election integrity and of defending our democracy. This months-long review is telling us what we already know... elections can be safe and secure without sacrificing access to the ballot box." @CurtisHertelJr.bsky.social

Thank you @CurtisHertelJr.bsky.social and Michigan Dems for auditing our elections BEFORE claiming they are plagued by fraud. The GOP has decided mass election fraud exists, then demanded a "solution" involving government overreach that is just disenfranchisement. Which party protects liberty again?

Elon Musk went to Wisconsin where he said the "destiny of humanity" rested on the election. Tonight the voters agreed and rejected his and Trump's undemocratic vision for the country.

Federal Health Workers Make Up Less Than 1% of Agency Spending (Gift Article) Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggests that laying off thousands of federal workers would tame a massive budget. But nearly all of the agency’s money goes to hospitals, doctors and nursing ho...

Yet.

Cory Booker Condemns Trump’s Policies in Longest Senate Speech on Record The New Jersey senator, who had spent much of his last 24 hours on the Senate floor assailing the Trump administration, surpassed Senator Strom Thurmond’s speech in 1957.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for standing up for democracy and justice and opposing tyranny! This was no April Fools' joke. The only joke is thinking the American people will silently watch democracy go down in flames.

I'm running for Governor I just launched my campaign to be California’s next governor.

Hopefully Katie Porter can win the California governor's race, then follow another former California governor's path to Washington.

Report: Trump Had Over $280 Million In Debt Forgiven And Avoided Paying Taxes On Most Of It The debt largely came from his Chicago tower.
