Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

We need a hero to come forward in so many Donald situations.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Absolutely 💯 True…..

In a country so deeply divided, isn't it nice to have something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheFiles-BeginTheTrials ⚖️

If Trump is so terrified of being impeached it’s a confession that he knows he has committed impeachable offenses. IF NOT WHY BE WORRIED .

The U.S. owes $40 trillion in debt. Everyone has an opinion about why. But there’s one question you almost never hear asked: Who’s actually getting paid?

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

We all know this is true. The SC knew it too, which is why they gave him immunity. But if the immunity was supposed to just be for official acts, why are they using it to cover everything, including insurrection and treason?

The Pentagon has retroactively lowered the U.S. death toll in Trump's Iran War, claiming the four soldiers killed last weekend don't count because Trump declared a ceasefire in April. Trump's ego is so colossal he can't admit his own warmongering is getting Americans killed. Shameful.

Federal immigration agents have fatally shot 10 people in Trump’s second term. 10 human beings. 10 people with families, friends, hopes, and dreams. 10 people who should still be alive today. Everyone carrying out Trump’s deadly agenda must answer for their crimes.

Here’s the problem: we can no longer believe the government when it makes these kinds of statements after its agents kill someone. That’s a very dangerous place for a democracy to be. Read the full analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I spoke with my dear friend Mitch McConnell this morning as he continues his recovery. We talked for nearly 20 minutes about Graham Platner, low gas prices, and Greenland. I told him Washington needs him back soon. He responded with the same silence he used to kill voting rights.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

If there's one thing Americans can agree on, it's that there's too much money in politics. But the Supreme Court just decided to demolish some of the last safeguards we had left - creating an even bigger role for special interest spending.

This Person Is Correct ! Algae Do NOT Have Seeds,They Rely On Microscopic Spores, Cell Division, Or Fragmentation......💪🏻

Ronald Drumpf, (I know how you love nicknames) people especially those with children can’t go to your fair. Costs too much to get there! Have you bought gas lately? Still costs more than last year. Eating out is too expensive. Plus it’s extremely hot. Global warming is real. You’re welcome.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

If you a lawyer looking to help in the fight for free and fair elections, Democracy Docket is hiring for a Legal Research Director. ats.rippling.com/democracy-do...

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

I took last weekend off but with a big week ahead in court this one will be busy preparing. If you appreciate the work Democracy Docket does to keep you informed and want to help it grow, sign up today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

To win a war means changing the politics of the enemy such that they must surrender. That is what Iran just did to the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/capitulati...

This.

Did I do the meme right?

No lies detected.

Trump rambling and incoherent news conference at G7 embarrassing us again on the world stage.

NEW EPISODE: Days after the Callais decision, Tennessee became the first state to eliminate a majority-Black congressional district. Memphis was cracked into thirds in just 72 hours, with no hearings, no community input and no requirement to notify voters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JibI...

Doesn’t this break even more parts of the Constitution?

A new report revealed that Trump’s ballroom will cost $600 million, with over half that coming from taxpayers. That’s despite his initial claims that taxpayers wouldn’t pay a dime and it would only cost $400 million. Here’s what else you should know about his vanity project…

Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.

Trump said the repairs would cost $1.8 million. It ended up costing $14 million. The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract that baked in a 20% profit margin. The typical federal construction contract profit margin is 6% to 12%. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

Fox is buying Roku. Ellison bought CBS and CNN. Bezos owns WaPo. ABC and NBC owners support Trump. We need to grow independent, pro-democracy media. Support Democracy Docket now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

The question inside Trump's White House wasn't whether suspending habeas corpus was a good idea. It was how much the administration could get away with before the courts stopped them. That's a warning worth paying attention to. Read here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-questi...

Who paid for and owns the MMA stage on the White House South Lawn?

this is like a simpsons joke from 1997 about what the white house would be like under donald trump in the year 2026
