Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Economic inequality is not some naturally occurring phenomenon. It is the consequence of choices. One question I always urge my students to ask: who is the market organized for — and why?

In a classified briefing, a DoD official revealed to Senators how much Iranian attacks on U.S. bases have cost us. Now, I'm calling for the DoD to make that number public. Americans deserve to know how much of their money is being burned on Trump's war with Iran.

Beyond devastating, incomprehensible & unacceptable that we have abandoned our allies & our principles and really everything the United States of America once stood and fought for. Thanks to Trump & his gang of lap dogs - our close ally now is Russia -and possibly China

Ossoff: “Trump begged Putin for diesel. Meanwhile, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and campaign. Oil fields, refineries, and gas stations worldwide are being sold to Trump cronies in a deal backed by the US government.”

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand. The Trump admin is out of control, they've lied us into war, they've sent prices skyrocketing ... "

It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

Sen. Jon Husted: “The war needs to come to an end as quickly as possible so that we can lower gas prices” Sen. Jon Husted when he could've voted to do just that:

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Amy Acton’s powerful new ad targeting Vivek Ramaswamy’s scams.

He’s literally building a fortified bunker, now an arch that holds major weapons, and controls the military and nukes. He has zero plams to leave, people better wake tf up

A six year old does not deserve to be in poverty. Full stop.⁣ ⁣ Every kid in poverty is a policy failure. But since kids don't have separate incomes, you can't help the kid without helping the household they're in. That's the whole political tension. https://youtu.be/gL2kxIbPitU

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

Gas and diesel just hit the highest prices ever for a Labor Day weekend - a direct result of this president’s decisions. It doesn't have to be like this.

HARDING: Trump cut US assistance to Ukraine, repeats Kremlin talking points, actually supports Russia. He’s most pro-Russian president in US history. O’BRIEN: I mean, if Trump were a Russian agent, what exactly would he do differently? When you think about that, it’s terrifying.

So now we’re supposed to hate Canada and love Putin? That’s where we are at with this corrupt gangster government?

💉 Where can you find accurate information on vaccines❓ ✅ American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP): downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP-... ✅ Medical societies: cmss.org/programs-and... ✅ CIDRAP for in-depth evidence review: vaxintegrity.cidrap.umn.edu/evidence-rev...

Imagine believing that govt should force citizens to be pregnant against their will... ..and forcing rape victims to remain pregnant by their attacker.. ..while not making pregnancy/childbirth/childcare more affordable... ...then openly pretending that Jesus shares your view.

Mifepristone is safe and effective—and has been widely used for over 30 years. In fact, it’s safer than viagra. But Trump officials want to rip away access to medication abortion in ALL 50 states. It was never about states’ rights—it was ALWAYS about controlling women.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Israel has universal healthcare—which they can afford because of all the money they get from the USA—but the USA does not. Funny, how that worked out.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

It seems that a lot of right wingers who claim to care about women’s sports for the first time ever really just care more about attention for themselves, ratings and social media engagement.

JD Vance just told audience in Michigan that Abdul El-Sayed wants to impose religious law in the US. Vance is obviously confused. Abdul is Muslim, he's not a Republican! It's the GOP that has imposed religious law (GOP sharia law) in 13 states that totally ban abortion--not Muslims!

Ohio Republican corruption is the reason. tiffinohio.net/posts/husted...

Sadly, many will not grasp the historical reference. Virtually every communication from Trump and his administration are either a confession or projection. Voters should keep that in mind when Trump calls someone a communist or a fascist.

The “locker-room talk,” “fuck your feelings” folks do not get to spend half a century treating women’s equality like an administrative error and then appoint themselves hall monitors of misogyny because Jon Ossoff uttered one woman’s first name. jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/how-dare-j...

Progress is possible, not guaranteed!

Trump cares A LOT about his ballroom, which he calls a “military complex.” About the actual military? Trump doesn’t care at all.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

The President of the United States is a fraud. #Pinks

Top Big Pharma drugmakers have raked in $300B in revenue so far this year and increased their stock buybacks and dividend payments. What's driving those windfalls? Lifesaving cancer drugs that Trump excluded from Medicare drug price negotiation. "Make America Healthy Again."

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Let it be said over & over: While Trump will try every trick to scare & intimidate voters from casting their ballots and then lie about the outcome in the aftermath, each of us can help get as many people to the polls as possible & ensure an overwhelming turnout and a massive, undeniable GOP defeat.

The executive orders are becoming the equivalent of when they gave Fred Trump fake paperwork to shuffle when he was in full blown dementia.

Jon Husted has taken more money from an Epstein co-conspirator than any other sitting senator.

“But if Miller had abused someone who wasn’t the daughter of a senator, and if there were no electoral repercussions, would any of them have spoken up to condemn his behavior? No. The Republican Party seems happy to turn a blind eye to the abuse of women.” www.thebulwark.com/p/ground-con...
