Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

In the long run, rather than punishing bad people, I would love for us to create fewer of them. It seems two factors tend to create cruel human beings: suffering abuse as a child or growing up very wealthy. We must prevent both.

If this enrages you, it should. And you’re not alone. The 19-year-old sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln is facing disciplinary charges instead of receiving the mental health services he needs. 👀

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

@davids.house.gov I will again ask why you are not active on this account. BlueSky is where Dems went when Musk started messing with our accounts, so ignoring this indicates an unwillingness to listen to our needs. Instead you talk about bipartisanship instead of resistance, again ignoring our needs

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland. Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M. America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech. This is what integrity looks like.

Wow. Mike Johnson only took 2 Qs during today's House R presser - he usually takes at least 4 - and neither was about Rep. Tony Gonzales. Johnson is refusing to call for Gonzales's resignation following the release of texts showing he pressured an aide who later committed suicide for sexual photos.

Pedophilists. All of them. 2026 word of the year: Pedophilists - people who enable, support and protect pedophiles. “The GOP and Trump voters are pedophilists. The USA Men’s Hockey team attending the SOTU as Trump’s guests are pedophilists.” Call them pedophilists and openly shame them.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot. Stacey Abrams Voting-rights expert

Anyone with a heart and soul should agree that children and babies do not belong behind bars. Thousands of kids will carry a lifetime of trauma and PTSD, done in our name, funded by our tax dollars.

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed? That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

Let me repeat this...to Trump, "Fixing it is your problem."

The law does not (should not) base decisions on how inconvenient fixing your mistake would be. It's about whether you were legally wrong to do it in the first place. Fixing it is your problem.
