Lady Gaga said this in 2020. Six years later, her words are being shared again ahead of the 2026 midterms. Listen to her message. Then make your own voice heard at the ballot box. “Vote like this country depends on it. Because it does!” #Midterms2026 #LadyGaga #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

It's a better and more beneficial investment in people's health than a tax cut to ultra rich which usually is shared only with investors if at all.

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Prop. 39 is the GOP's attempt to convince CA that non-citizens are voting - everywhere, all the time, and in huge numbers - despite their own Heritage Foundation's accounting that it's incredibly rare. Far-right villain-aires have joined in, hoping we'll oppress ourselves. (tinyurl.com/39-is-a-scam)

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Let's start with compensation reform: every employee must be compensated equitably for the time and energy spent and the skills used working for the employer. Then the minimum wage will become the living wage and the wage gap between the top and the bottom will start narrowing down.

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.
