Ossoff: "There's a wickedness to the program. I don't know, pastor, where it is in scripture that it says deny care to the sick, take from those with the least to give to those with the most, violate the house of worship to hunt down the refugee. Where in the scripture are those lessons taught?"

Martin Luther King Jr. understood better than almost anyone that racial justice and economic justice are inextricably intertwined. Watch his powerful call to end poverty from his final Sunday Sermon.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies. Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican. They're selling out their own voters.

Apple is anti-union. Tesla is anti-union. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions. They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1. We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

According to MAGA, 35 year old “Young Republicans” are “boys being boys” but 15 year old girls are fully grown women. Admittedly, I am not fluent in FoxNews-ese, but what am I missing here?

The U.S. is now a... Kleptocracy: rule by thieves, officials use political power to steal national wealth & resources for personal gain Kakistocracy: rule by least qualified, most ignorant & unprincipled citizens Plutocracy: rule by wealthy, using their riches to influence policy for own benefit

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

They “didn’t know they had the legal authority” to use the SNAP emergency funds and it may take until Wednesday to figure out the process. They tore down the East Wing overnight and will send their goon squads into cities and put people in camps with no problem…. but feed people? Don't be fooled.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI. Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity. AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.
