There's a powerful solution to improve affordability: Unions. Tripling union membership would deliver $7,700 annually to the median worker—or $270,000 over a typical career. Learn more from EPI president @hshierholz.bsky.social & AFL-CIO president @lizshuler.bsky.social: time.com/article/2026...

Democratic message in Michigan: improve healthcare, decrease inflation, regulate data centers, make taxes more fair. Republican message: SOCIALISTS! MUSLIMS! SCHOOLS PERFORMING GENDER SURGERY! OH MY!!!

I hopped on the train from Chicago back home to Michigan. I break down why I’m focused on the idea that we should speed up trains between Chicago and Detroit, and Detroit to Toronto! In Michigan we love our cars and driving, but taking the train is a great way to travel, and we can make it better.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

It makes me sad that it's not the fact that people are being rounded up by Trump's brownshirts, or that they're being detained in concentration camps, or that his administration is trying to deport a US senator, or ...

"The challenge facing GOP candidates like Marshall, Husted, and Rogers is that voters are angry about the high cost of living, which Trump promised to bring down."

Fox host: President Trump said you all should have a debate… Is that in the works? Are you requesting one with him? Ken Paxton (lying): Oh well, no, look... We can never quite work out the details.

Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

I don't say this lightly, but Pete Hegseth deserves to be impeached. I understand just how serious a vote to impeach is from experience, and I still believe impeaching him is the right thing to do. The Iran war. The purge of senior ranks. The boat strikes. The case is overwhelming. (Link below)

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

You are up to date.
