Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

Just so it's been said, the judges who signed these warrants need to be impeached at the earliest opportunity.

We can give you perfectly legitimate reasons all day long but if you're a denialist piece of shit it doesn't really matter.

Billionaires want you to believe taxing their extreme wealth is too radical and that it can’t be done. Baloney. Economist Gabriel Zucman debunks their lies. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNg2Uea6uUs

He's right, of course, but, notably, just saying so costs these multimillionaire actor types... nothing.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

The grotesqueness of the lie that is their implied inevitability cannot be overstated: the oldest and the youngest. Again. And all they had to do to normalize this macabre absurdity is *not* fund a public education campaign on #VirusFreeAir. bsky.app/profile/covi...

We can do better, fyi. #VirusFreeAir

*** Ontario Virus Update | Oct 25 *** Hospitalizations due to COVID increased from 71 to 87 in the last update. Influenza hospitalizations increased from 42 to 77 and RSV decreased from 6 to 3. 🧵 #Ontario #Virus #COVID #Hospital #Wastewater

Trump’s attempt to overturn any results of the 2026 election he dislikes took a sharp turn toward authoritarianism when his DOJ asked a federal court to block certification of the Senate election in Alaska if the Republican incumbent narrowly loses. Here's what you should know.

Repeat after me: Hand sanitizer will not stop you from catching an airborne virus.

It isn't that BC voted *for* the rwnjs, it's just the latest instance of progressive voters, after decades of betrayal by pretenders to the cause, giving up. We've been stuck with our corrupt idiot for exactly the same reason here in ON... www.myprincegeorgenow.com/254424/news/...

Our latest podcast episode features Lindsay Briggs, PhD, a professor of public health at California State University. Dr. Briggs has been masking in her classes since the beginning of the pandemic, and we talked about how she teaches while wearing a Flo-Mask and offers her students fashion masks.

I mean, at this point, it's sort of strange that the rest of pp's MPs haven't crossed the floor — they haven't had this much corporatist shilling success since the days of the shamrock summit.

Brownstone's founder, the pro-smoking, pro-child labor, anti-vaccine neoconfederate libertarian who was the architect of the Great Barrington Declaration, also became the man who built RFK Jr's cabinet of MAGA/MAHA/anti-vaccine federal health agency leaders: www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

Running pro-energy sector ads is not the mandate of Environment and Climate Change Canada. Carney is also gutting federal science agencies and trashing environmental protections. Carney is worse than Harper.

More plugin solar legislative activity south of the border. Here in Canada... silence. We need affordable plug-in solar legislation, across the country, now. Check out www.pluginsolarpower.ca to learn more about our advocacy. And join the fight!

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Highly recommend you read this survey report. Majority of Canadians want Canada to be a GREEN “energy superpower”! @mark-carney.bsky.social are you listening?!?!

He’s Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed, why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy up major media, and why our government shouldn’t give them huge military contracts.

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

It's not just Alberta referendumb day! It's also Alberta Vaccine day! First day Albertans can get vaxxed for the flu and COVID! And of course, I got mine.

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?

Nixon infected the modern Republican Party with a sickness that would ultimately kill it. Trump applied the coup de grace. The Republican Party is now officially dead. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-tragic-death-of-the-republican

People whose concerns are *not* religious tend to believe the opposite... 👍

Republicans win the White House, enact trickle-down tax cuts, and collapse the economy. Feel like we've been in this doom loop before? Here's why it keeps happening — and how we can lay the groundwork to stop it this November.

And this short post outlines everything about how to avoid it: #VirusFreeAir.

In 2025, a majority of S&P 500 CEOs made more in 1 day than the median US worker made the entire year. Meanwhile, the median US worker would need to work 43,154 years to earn what Trump made in 2025 thanks to his crypto scams & various grifts. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Or... #VirusFreeAir.

The goal of sane people must be to defund Elon Musk and get him as far away from politics as possible. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

What a mess! Covid surging in Alberta & hospitals filling up fast with Covid patients! Preventable: •Get vaccinated! •Wear an N95 respirator in indoor public spaces eg hospitals, schools, workplaces. •Clean the air with ventilation and filtration •Use germicidal UV lights in indoor public spaces.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is an indomitable fighter for working people. Can't wait to join forces in the Senate to pass Medicare for All.
