Mark Cuban has the same problem as all billionaires. He's *literally* living in a different reality than you or me. He's got no idea how basic things work (or how much they cost!) because for him it's a non-issue he never has to consider. He hasn't thought about the price of *anything* for decades.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov I hear Mark Cuban thinks M4All is too expensive. I bet a few more of your billionaire friends think the same. WE DO NOT CARE what they think. You need to do what is right for the majority of us. AND make them pay their fair share.

Mark Cuban has a money-induced traumatic brain injury, but what really makes me nuts are the meat riders in his replies pretending he’s the good billionaire. THERE ARE NO GOOD BILLIONAIRES

Today’s the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act—but the fight for access, dignity, and justice didn’t start in 1990, and it sure as hell didn’t end there. Anyone can become disabled at any time. So saving Medicaid is survival. For all of us. #SaveMedicaidSaveFamilies

Wow. I was raised RC and turned from it at age 12 bc of view of women. When I later understood homophobia and IRS crimes it confirmed my decision. This deceased Pope and this Vatican clearly are not the RC church I knew. Respect for the powerful statements this funeral makes.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

So, next moves for Harvard: going tuition-free until tax-exempt status restored, foregoing sponsored research, rethinking endowment investments to minimize tax eligibility, and riding this out. Not to mention throwing the full weight of Harvard law into myriad legal challenges.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

On Apr. 8, 1864, the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery passed the U.S. Senate with a 38-6 vote. Though the amendment would not pass the House of Reps. until January 1865, the Senate’s vote was a major step in banning slavery. 134 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

Every Democrat needs to be appearing on long form discussion segments with lefwing YouTube channels. Having long engaging discussions and getting their messages and arguments out to more people. They need to come off genuine and engaging. Not grandstanding on CSPAN, CNN and MSNBC.
