Our calendar is packed. It just needs you. home.forwardparty.com/public_calen...

Don’t forget to check out the latest episode of our podcast! It just dropped this week, and it tackles some of the most critical questions our democracy faces. Thanks to @michaelsteele.bsky.social for joining!

These aren’t the headlines of a democracy where the power rests with voters. Something’s broken. It’s time to fix it. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Russian drones: ninety percent Chinese. #econsky

If you support gerrymandering by EITHER party, then you need to be prepared to answer one question first: Why isn’t the power of my solutions enough to convince voters to vote for me? Why do I need to pick my own voters instead?

Public service announcement for elected officials: If you manufacture a problem and then solve your manufactured problem, that doesn’t count as being “focused on solutions.” It just counts as politics as usual. Do politics as unusual.

Part of being heard is having a voice to hear. Make sure your elected officials know how you feel. Responsibly. Respectfully. But clearly. They work for you.

Wild!! 80% of all #BEEF we eat in the US is grown and processed in the US & NO TARIFFS APPLY. Half of the other 20% is coming from Mexico & Canada and also NOT TARIFFED. Yet, beef prices have skyrocketed to astounding levels. That's insane PRICE GOUGING! What's Trump's doing about THAT?? #EconSky

How did #Ukraine economy survive the RUS onslaught? maybe a miracle but there are also fundamental factors : 1) defend skies, shipping lanes 2) fiscal stimulus ↑ 3) vital int'l aid 4) play econ cards well 5) adaptability of private sector #UkrainianView #EconSky (w/ @tderyugina.bsky.social )

BREAKING 🚨: U.S. Banks Fed Reserve just pumped $18.5 Billion into the U.S. Banking System this week through overnight repos 🤯 This is the 4th largest liquidity injection since Covid and surpasses even the peak of the Dot Com Bubble 👀 Probably Fine, carry on

California now has a larger economy than Japan, India, United Kingdom, and France 🚨🚨

The Top 1% of U.S. earners now have more wealth than the entire middle class

Since the start of Trump’s second term, the number of children in ICE detention has increased sixfold. In their letters, kids held at the Dilley center told us about missing their friends, being unable to go to school and feeling trapped.

US employment growth through March revised down by 862,000 jobs reut.rs/3Zw6FWV

A handyman from Florida who received a pardon from President Trump for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was convicted on state charges of child sex abuse and exposing himself to a child. n.pr/4tx7oVq

A few charts on these benchmark revisions. Starting with the big picture: These revisions dramatically lower the rate of job growth over the past two years. In total, payroll employment is more than 1 million jobs lower than previously reported. #NumbersDay

My answer to “who will stop him” is “you and me”. Start figuring out what you need to do.

Remember who we are!

Masked thugs on the streets. Measles outbreaks across the nation. Blatant government corruption. Coverup of group of elite sex offenders. Ruling party trying to rig elections. Leader building grandiose monuments to himself. Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service. Third world America.

It's becoming clear that Epstein gave Putin dirt on Trump. That is the reason they parted ways..

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein. There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

WOW! This is what #Trump posted in 2012. His perverted mind admitted to everything by blaming "THEM". In psychology this phenomenon is called PROJECTION. Just read his posts again. There is everything... #PedoMAGA #EpsteinFiles

Yeah hey JD remember that? What ever happened with that?

While it is hard to believe, Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach is once again covered in snow.

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

These goons are despicable. They shot off part of a woman’s hand with less than legal ammo. I guess they didn’t get the memo of the demotion and expected retirement of Bovino. The violence we are seeing in MN isn’t lessening.

When in fact it’s Trump and his Republicans…

Why are women still underrepresented in academia despite outperforming men at university? @agueda-sa.bsky.social shows the answer may start much earlier than hiring or tenure decisions in her job market paper.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will go down as one of the greatest chairs in history. Not because of policy, but because of maintaining integrity under pressure. See his statement below #econsky www.threads.com/@federalrese...

I am quite sure that the Trumpsters who tried to overthrow the government on January 6 we're asked to stop. The police officers did not shoot them in the head.

Remember the Epstein files, lol? Yeah, we’re never seeing those.

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

The signs are everywhere: It's time to lower the temperature, find common ground, and build a system that hears and responds to voters and communities. www.forwardparty.com

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like: “Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Isn’t it odd that when a member of an immigrant ethnic group commits a crime, right-wing white guys want to deport the entire group, but when a right-wing white guy commits a crime, the other right-wing white guys don’t volunteer to deport themselves.

"Hope is something that you create, with your actions. Hope is something you have to manifest into the world, & once 1 person has hope, it can be contagious. Other people start acting in a way that has more hope." @aoc.bsky.social is serving a powerful #CupOfJoe to move forward.

A bill with bipartisan support to bring safe drinking water to people in Colorado is vetoed by Trump. Why? It appears he’s pressuring Colorado to free his crooked ally who is imprisoned for tampering with voting systems. Trump doesn’t give a crap about anything but his own money and power.
