Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

JON STEWART: “They began covering their ass 3 weeks after 9/11… There was poison in the air, on the ground, on your pets/clothes… THE CITY KNEW. Rather than limit the damage, they covered it up… After 9/11, business will never be usual again.” (From @mamdanibulletin.bsky.social )

this-along with so many other posts in the last couple days-are so unacceptable from the leader of a country, or people posting on their behalf. if a leader anywhere else posted this way we would be taking it seriously. why is it just ignored here?!

When I became a dad, it changed the way I see the world. We need new people thinking about the future now. Lower costs. Better healthcare. Jobs. A Michigan our kids deserve. More time with each other. I’m Abdul El-Sayed, dad, and I approve this message.

Farmworkers represent the backbone of our food system. Yet, increasingly, ICE enforcement is wreaking havoc and spreading fear across our rural communities. This moment calls for solidarity, not silence.

no one who works full-time should live in poverty!

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at a paltry $7.25 an hour since 2009. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.
