This is a good time to remember balancing SOCIAL programs with market competition once helped BUILD a strong American middle class. Neoliberal policies widened the wealth gap and concentrated power among a small group of oligarch‑level elites. We don't need extremism, just common sense. #Pinks

Good morning. The Senate path for CDC nominee Erica Schwartz is looking increasingly clear, with Kaine saying he’ll support her confirmation. ...Honestly, this leaves us feeling numb. After so long without stable leadership, we at CDC are all running on fumes.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

We are spending an estimated $1B per day on the war on Iran. Now Trump and Co want an extra $200B from Congress to fund the war. But healthcare? Cut. Food stamps? Cut. Education? Cut. Cancer research? Cut. Environmental protections? Cut. And of course, taxes on the rich? Cut. It's obscene.
