We’re all getting screwed—Democrats and Republicans alike. The billionaires who run this country don’t care about your politics, they only care about their profits. They don’t see Red or Blue—they see Green. They see us as one opposing team. So we might as well act like one.

Can someone who knows more about EVs tell me if it would be feasible to put a solar panel in/on the roof of a car and wire then to the car's batteries to charge the batteries? Just curious. #EV #solarpower #renewableenergy

Maybe I just don't run in the right circles but it seems like we should be making people who want to make all these AI data centers be able to provide a certain amount of their own power so they have less of an effect on the surrounding communities. Is this a thing and I just haven't heard it?

Democrats should ensure that voters hear this so much it haunts their dreams this fall.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Inflation hit 3.8% last month, the highest rate in three years. Gas prices alone rose 5.4% from March to April due to Trump's war on Iran. And the jump in grocery prices this past month was the highest in nearly four years. Wages are now officially lagging behind inflation. "New Golden Age."

Trump INHERITED his wealth. Trump was GIVEN Truth social. Trump was GIVEN his crypto business. Trump was GIVEN The Apprentice job. He has never been successful in any business EVER.

Maybe we should take this whole thing with Iran closing the straight of hormuz as a sign that we should be doing everything we can to divest ourselves from fossil fuels. That way one country closing a small strip of water won't throw the whole world into an energy crisis #gogreen #downwithbigoil

Time to reset their budget to whatever it was the last time they actually passed a budget and tell them they won't get any more money until they pass another. #accountability #militaryindustrialcomplex

The Pentagon just failed their EIGHTH STRAIGHT AUDIT. Congress cannot continue funneling hundreds of billions of dollars to a completely unaccountable agency while American families can’t afford food or health care. www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

If Trump is innocent, prove it. If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it. If you're a politician and aren't complicit in Epstein's crimes, prove it. Release the Epstein files.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

This. Contact your senators demanding they make @schumer.senate.gov step down as Senate minority leader. If they don't, we need to make sure they are ALL primaried from the left. I personally will not be supporting anyone who does not support #universalhealthcare. #votethemout

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

At least we know there's one person who gets it

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

For those of you in NYC not sure about Mamdani's idea for a millionaire tax, I would urge you to read this article about the same tax that was instituted in my home state of MA just 2 years ago. Spoiler alert: it's delivering better than expected. #taxtherich commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/the-...

commonwealthbeacon.orgThe Fair Share Amendment is delivering - CommonWealth BeaconNearly three years after its passage, it’s becoming clear that the millionaires tax has been a total success, and an incredible benefit for our state’s businesses.

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.

Can someone explain to me why so many people on the right (lower and middle class voters included) are against regulations that would keep big corps from polluting their air and water? Like, what's so bad about having clean air to breathe and clean water to drink? #upvsdown

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

It’s wild that the “don’t tread on me” crowd and the “we can only go by what the Founders believed” originalist crowd are somehow ushering us toward a constitution-less tyrannical king. Um, guys, I’m not sure you really know your history.
