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.

Dem's always get freaked out by the progressives/Democratic socialists. They really do suck at reading the room. Americans are sick of the corruption and ineffectiveness, that's why Mamdani and other progressives are winning.

All the most damning evidence is being hidden from American voters, and everyone in DC knows it. What sort of cowardice prompts anyone to accept this as anything but a criminal conspiracy in plain sight? Institutional violence against justice—and even the very concept of America?

Hakeem Jeffries should demand equal time and directly respond to Trump's lies about the election tonight, and tell us all what we're doing to STOP Trump from stealing this thing.

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time. If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

I am profoundly ashamed of how our government treated the Iranian soccer team. They were classy the whole time. But FIFA cheated to get them out. And we treated them like shit. Not the fans. The fans were great. But the officials and organizers were ghastly. We started the war with Iran.

He has to take his name off the Kennedy Center. His Terrorist Slush Fund has been found illegal. His moon mission is now pushed back indefinitely. His Reflecting Pool scam is 1000% over-budget. Two-thirds of his Great State Fair acts have backed out. Donald Trump is in freefall.

I remember when the internet was a place for watching cat videos instead of observing the real-time collapse of western civilization.

Incalculable harm. In precedent, in cost, in absolving and normalizing crimes against the Constitution. I need to believe we’ll dig out of this but sometimes I don’t know, man.

ABC News reports that Trump is set to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against IRS in exchange for DOJ creating a new $1.7 billion fund that will be used to pay "compensation" to Biden "victims." That could potentially include the Jan 6 insurrectionists. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2105...

Gas skyrocketing, bombs dropping, our standing in the world in tatters, taxpayer dollars up in flames — meanwhile this oligarch dictator wanna-be brags about his new ballroom and the “Corinthian” columns How is every American not sickened by this?

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

There is a kind of smug, dull-minded "We're just here for the show" complicity in that room. During the press conference, Trump announced, not for the first time, "I don't talk to CNN, it's fake news." Why didn't the reporter immediately leave? Why does CNN still invite his stooges on its shows?

full of contempt for the "reporters" who sit there and laugh at trump's "jokes"
