Friend of mine was the lobbyist for anti-sexual violence organizations in Colorado during the Kobe Bryant trial. His attorney said her name in open court multiple times. Rape crisis hotline went silent for 6 mos. When it started again, 1st question was often "will I be named like she was?"

🚨New: With data added from more states, we now estimate that about 2 million fewer kids are receiving SNAP in the wake of deep cuts enacted in last year’s Republican reconciliation law. Overall, more than 5 million people have lost SNAP since July 2025. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

The Press, and a lot of other people, do not get Trump's pathology. He didn't "float a plan" or strategize a way for Republicans to win. He belched the thought that popped out of his damaged brain. $5000 came out before $1776 did or $4547. It means nothing to him. He's just obsessed with not losing.

One thing, I don't think we fully appreciated how BADLY Trump f'ed up the 250th national birthday. It was an easy slam dunk opportunity to raise America's morale and he just pissed it away because of his massive ego and childish image of what a "celebration" should be.

Here's how 80s and 90s bullies operated: They called you gay. They usually used a different word for it, or they appended the suffix “wad,” but that was the gist. "You are gay." This was the preamble to a beating, because being gay meant you were somebody who deserved a beating.

65% → 53%. That’s how much working people's share of the economic pie has shrunk since 1947. Workers didn’t stop producing. But less and less of those profits are making their way back to working people. This is why we organize. ✊🏿
