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.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Let’s not overlook the fact that “many people” (that’s a qualifying big and authoritative number according to Trump) have accused Trump of rape, assault and even murder! And yet…..

Can I just put this out there? If Trump does before the midterms, that’s doesn’t change anyone’s voting decisions, right? This is a Republican betrayal writ large not just one man show.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Although Bernie Sanders, AOC and Zohran Mamdani use the democratic-socialist label, most policies they advocate would fit comfortably within European social democracy. American political terminology makes their economic programs sound further left than many of their policy proposals actually are.

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

This can come across as victimhood or jealousy. It’s neither. It’s facts. I’ll debate anyone who disagrees.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

The Kevin Hart roast was utter crap from the start. He had his hands all over it and that’s not the point of a roast. And it platformed a bunch of garbage comedians. The best ones were the least well known. Sit down The Rock, you’re dull. Thank goodness for Chelsea Handler.

Your April Fools' Day Reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.
