Two weeks remain until Election Day. Vote early, vote angry, vote to rein in the would-be king.
The midterms will make Trump even more dangerous.
When we fight we win.
I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.
Our democracy is only as strong as those willing to defend it.
The political landscape is shifting. There's a genuine crack in the armor. GOP leadership is scrambling to balance tax cuts without dismantling essential safety nets. This is a critical moment to influence the outcome. Get loud and get active! Your involvement right now matters more than ever.
The top consumer brand financially backing this group of ICE supporters is Home Depot ($536,500 to 77 members), Walmart ($308,000 to 88 members), Toyota ($262,500 to 75 members), and Google ($257,500 to 48 members). You know what to do. #boycott
The CLARITY Act would make crypto even more opaque. It would allow even more tax evasion, more money laundering, more fraud, more speculation, more ripoffs, and more crime. Shame on any Democratic senator or representative who votes for this. @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy
A new generation of Democratic politicians is shining a bright light. It’s the emergence of the next America. @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy
Vance resembles Trump in every way — he lies effortlessly, he’s utterly without principle, and he’s intent on gaining power — except that he’s smarter and more ruthless than Trump. Take note and beware. @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy
The Democratic Party must seek to return to the American people the wealth and power that the obscenely rich have taken from them. @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy
Trump will continue to torment us with his cruelty, corruption, and criminality for some time, so we have to keep fighting. But his power is disappearing.
Trump’s strategy to sabotage the election depends on fear, confusion, and division. We must respond by being brave, focused, and united. @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy
To win the midterms and 2028, democrats must run anti-elite, anti-system campaigns directly linking the corruption of Republicans in power to the higher costs Americans are seeing every day.
America will survive the Trump years if Democrats pick themselves up and start learning from the successes of opponents of autocracy across the globe. The answer to political defeat is not to disconnect, but to organize.
Our mission is clear. We all know what we need to do: vote in record numbers.
The dummymanders make the Democratic mission for November clear: voter turnout that rivals or bests the 2018 midterm. If that happens, all the carefully drawn maps will be of no avail, and the long moral arc of history will bend toward justice once again. @nycjayjay.bsky.social
The biggest force in American politics today — and in the Democratic Party — is anti-establishment rage at political insiders.
#MayDay
TOMORROW: Americans are calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop on the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can get involved on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i... Join one of the over 3,000 events planned: www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/?...
This brazenly corrupt arrangement is being completely ignored by most major media outlets. @juddlegum.bsky.social
This is what democracy looks like! A landslide victory in Hungary. We’re next.
“Tonight we ask all of you to join with us in choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unrivaled corruption, resistance over complacency, truth over lies, unity over division, and peace over war.” #TheBoss
This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.
It’s an all hands-on-deck moment, and the right would like nothing more than to see the movement’s energy fizzle. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen. #NoKings
#NoKings!
TOMORROW: Be a part of history! Show the world that the majority of Americans oppose the most corrupt, inept, criminal, orange "president" in U.S. History. NO KINGS. Also: NO SERIAL LIARS/CONVICTED FELONS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS & NO ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN Be there. Make your voices heard! 🇺🇸 ✊ #NO_KINGS
We will not be silenced! On #NoKings day we will proclaim our refusal to submit. We will march against this vile regime in larger numbers than have ever protested in America.
If we simply refuse to get discouraged and quit, we have already won half the battle.

The combination of Trump and Christian Nationalism presents a true threat to our country and the world.
Trump will pay a price for helping foreign autocrats while bringing death and hardship to Americans. All of this will backfire on Trump, and set in motion events that will lead to his fall.
Here’s a Texas Democrat who is reminding the powerful and corrupt what it means to actually understand community and fight for families.
The American public is firmly against this conflict. None of us want another forever war. Congress must act. Republicans need to understand that we will not accept their rubber-stamping endless wars, and any Democrats who are falling short need to understand that we will hold them accountable.
