These tariffs are a Trump tax. Instead of putting a stop to them, Congressional Republicans are rolling out the red carpet for more.

Republicans have been out to gut Social Security for years because it’s one of the most popular and successful programs ever created.   Those who claim to care about the debt while pushing for trillions in tax cuts for the rich and corporations don't really care about the debt.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

House Democrats are fighting to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The partisan Republican spending bill is an attack on veterans, seniors and families. Unacceptable.

If your day has been hard, if you’re feeling anxious or angry or lost, allow yourself to pause for a moment and come back to your breathing. The present moment is all we truly have. When we become so tied up in our thoughts, we miss our appointment with life. Rest well, my friends. 😊 #calm #peace

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

Donald Trump and his unelected multi billionaire co President Elon Musk are now cutting after school programs like art and music that allow kids to flourish and stay off the streets. There will be further cuts for kids with special needs. Really disgraceful.

Donald Trump campaigned on the fact that he believed Kamala Harris would cause a recession. In reality, the only candidate who would have caused a recession is Donald Trump, and the American people are feeling it today.

When you think of it as an equation… Education + Empathy = People who resist fascism. …it’s easy to see why Republicans attack both. I don’t know how we get there, but a democratic future requires us to (re)build a culture that incentivizes both.

A sad day in our house today. This fine feline fella has died. I never thought I’d be shedding tears over a cat but here I am. He was a fine cat indeed.
A grey and white cat with a pink nose and green eyes is lounging on a wooden surface, bathed in warm sunlight. The cat’s expression appears calm and slightly regal, with its front paws tucked under its chest. The background is blurred, showing an indoor setting with soft lighting and indistinct human figures.
