Looking to find common ground with our fellow Americans. Will fight for those less fortunate, the weak and the oppressed. To leave a place less than is not an option.

The MAGA regime’s 50% trade war tariffs against Canada officially took effect in the middle of the morning. Canada’s Prime Minister says they will match those tariffs dollar by dollar. I’m an American and I fully support our Canadian neighbors against this fascist criminal syndicate. 🇨🇦

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

I wonder why 90 days. Couldn’t be because the midterms are in… 74 days, right? Right? Apparently communist price controls are fine when you’re trying to get votes. Who knew?

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

This summer, more than 50 young men from Chicago Public Schools attended the MBK-Obama Leadership Academy to get ready for high school. They earned credits toward graduation, developed important life skills, and built connections. We’re proud of their hard work, and can’t wait to see what they do.

Trump defends Darline Graham after she fumbled a basic national security question: She’s very smart. She was being honest. She’s into the price of groceries. She is going to do what the military wants, and really what the president wants. She understands that national security is my thing

We might not be in a technical recession, but people sure feel like they’re in one. Walmart may be the canary in the coal mine. Sales growth just hit its slowest pace in more than 6 years as consumers get squeezed by gas, groceries & debt. When folks start pulling back at Walmart, PAY ATTENTION.

Are you kidding me right now? "Keep more of their money"? The tax cuts you passed are permanent for the wealthy, top rate dropped forever, while "no tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime" for workers is just a tiny bone and expire in 2028. ...
