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.

The Constitution says Congress, not the president, decides how your tax money is spent. Trump canceled $810 million Congress approved by running out the clock & the independent spending watchdog calls it illegal. Trump treats your money like it’s his #PayToPlayPresident #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

🇩🇪 According to Bild, Germany is preparing to use the Port of Hamburg to transport tanks and other heavy NATO equipment. The Bundeswehr recently held exercises with civilian authorities, as Hamburg’s port could become a key NATO logistics hub in the event of a potential Russian attack.

This is wrong. Trump and his hand-picked Board of Directors are canceling John F. Kennedy, one of the most beloved U.S. Presidents in history, and selling off his legacy for parts. Trump knows he’ll never be adored like President Kennedy was so he’s erasing JFK’s presence in our nation’s capital.
