Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes. That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services. This is why people are mad as hell.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Pennsylvania is 49th in the nation for public higher education funding! Decades of disinvestment hurt the PA economy— hurt students, families, communities, and workers. It doesn’t have to be this way— and it hasn’t always been this way. We need Governor Josh Shapiro to lead the way!
