The problem isn't boomers. The problem isn't immigrants. The Social Security actuaries say that there's one cause of the trust fund emptying 30 years sooner than it should – and it's the billionaires who do not pay in on all of their income. SOCIAL SECURITY HAS A BILLIONAIRE PROBLEM.

Thank you @rbreich.bsky.social for highlighting that firing federal civil servants not only affects us all but directly affects the workers who got fired and their families It also affects the many civil servants who weren't fired but have been living in a state of anxiety for nearly two years now

The freedom to vote is fundamental to working people's power. The SAVE Act would make it harder for eligible Americans to cast a ballot. Working people deserve a democracy where EVERY voice can be heard.

Tell the Founding Fathers that you can't gerrymander the US Senate. They ensured that rural areas got disproportionate power in the Senate—precisely what Republicans are currently trying to do to the House. Wyoming (587,000 residents) and California (over 39 million residents) each have 2 senators.

Dems will not win the smashing landslide in 2028 that Magyar won in Hungary, but they need to hit the ground running like he did. A Trump flurry of executive orders is dandy, but if they have the Senate, they can't hide behind the filibuster There is only so much you can do without Congress
