We need a "Truth In Advertising" law that applies to political ads. Lies and misinformation only get worse and worse. Attack ads don't just encourage more of the same, they displace even the opportunity for candidates to really tell us who they are and what they stand for. Enough of this crap!

@katiephang.bsky.social is absolutely right. Congressional party lines should mean nothing. These were children when this happened and the emotional scars remain deep for everyone of them today. Failing to act sends a warped message that somehow this depravity goes unpunished.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

Why in heaven’s name should the Supreme Court be concerned about whether an administration suffers “irreparable harm?” Shouldn’t it be far more concerned about whether the American public suffers irreparable harm if Trump’s plan moves forward? robertreich.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

Trump is dragging our nation into greater debt by the day: the same path he took in bankrupting his own businesses. So, when are his supporters going to understand what the rest of us see.... that he is far from the "successful businessman" he depicted himself to be?
