Before Trumpism Came To Town....

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

It's that simple. 👇

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES stood on a stage and said: “Let ’em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego.” And people CHEERED. I’m sorry, but what the actual fuck are we doing?

In the history of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. SMH. Politicians lie. These politicians lie so often it seems like breathing.

Agree With Abdul El-Sayed 💯%....

Why are we paying for this??

Why the 🤬 are my tax dollars paying for a political ad for that convicted felon, malignant narcissist staining the White House? How is this legal? #TrumpIsAFelon #TrumpIsAMoron

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.

I know we're all* numb to this by now, but it really needs to be said that any one of the batshit insane tyrant tweets from our special little boy would've led to swift efforts to remove any other previous president.

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.

@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social Why doesn’t the White House Press Pool just leave the White House is solidarity with MSNOW, CNN and Politico? Deny the President the attention he craves?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

A few days ago I had a discussion with the top executive of a corporation specializing in AI who told me not to worry and assured me that the chance of AI wiping out humanity is “no more than 10 percent.” I was astounded. Isn’t a 10 percent threat of extinction STILL too high?

AI advocates say we have no right to stop innovation in the free market. Hogwash. We don’t allow corporations to come up with new nuclear weapons or varieties of cocaine or biological pathogens. We protect the public from certain kinds of innovation. We need guardrails on AI before it’s too late.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

Yuuuuup…

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

"My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”--US Senator Carl Schurz (R-MO), 1871.

Cut and run to the safe place when the job just gets too monotonous. When you come back from vacation, Reality will STILL be waiting.

Federal corporate political spending has already reached nearly $650 MILLION ahead of the midterms, according to Public Citizen. That’s an all-time high — and we’re still months away from Election Day. Big Money is the real threat to “election integrity.”

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

If Nancy Pelosi had repeatedly told reporters she had no idea what was going on around her, the coverage would have been unsparing and vicious.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

Social Security turns 91 today, but thanks to rising inequality it may not live to see many more birthdays. I used to be a Social Security trustee — here's how we can fix it without cutting benefits or raising the retirement age.

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.
