More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

"This is why people don't like Democrats. The Democrats are constantly going, 'How can we talk to Republicans?'... Your attitude needs to be 'How do we beat Republicans?'" The one and only Jennifer Welch on the 'We're Not Kidding' podcast with me today. zeteo.com/p/jennifer-w...

So if the average American pays approximately $14k in taxes...then Trump gets the $10b. That means Trump is trying to steal the tax returns of 714,000 american tax payers. Bet he says they were radical leftist returns...🤷‍♂️

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia. 1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine. 2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague. 3. Russia pays everyone for everything. 4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Anyone who claims to be a 'leader' must adopt and act upon these words and ideals. No exceptions.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Average healthcare costs in the US: Giving birth? $18,000 Cancer treatment? $150,000 One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k. That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through. Cost in Canada? $0. Cost in the UK? $0. Cost in Australia? $0.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!
