Having exausted all other options — having seen all other defenses fail — all our hopes for being rescued from one of the most deranged and stupid national leaders in history now rest with the highest and final authority in this country: the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

I urge Senate Dems to reject the Anti-Veteran, Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security spending bill, & support a 4-week extension to give Congress a chance to pass a bi-partisan bill to fund what is left of our government after Co-President Musk’s chain saw cuts.

We can't continue to pontificate about democracy being on the line and then turn around and acquiesce every time it gets hard. Democrats must not cede more power to this authoritarian administration. Doing so equates to complicity. The time to hold the line is now.

Ironic. Perhaps, the least qualified Defense Secretary we’ve ever had should check his own standards first.
A photo of a tweet from Pete Hegseth, with a link to a Department of Defense statement.

Transcribed Text:

Our troops will be fit — not fat.

Our troops will look sharp — not sloppy.

We seek only quality — not quotas.

BOTTOM LINE: our @DeptofDefense will make standards HIGH & GREAT again — across the entire force.

Lutnick is a liar or an ignorant fool. Greedy management took advantage of the commodification of labor and sent American jobs to China where auto workers make $2 an hour. Cars didn't get cheaper because management pocketed the difference.

1 in 7 families in California rely on SNAP. That’s less than $7 a day to help afford increasingly expensive food. $7 can barely buy a dozen eggs right now. And, remarkably, Republicans want to lower that number to pay for tax cuts for corporate donors. Unconscionable.

In the future, when voting between presidential candidates is separated by less than 2%, let's make them both sit down at school desks, take civics tests about the constitution, and the one with the highest score gets to be president.

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist. Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success. Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success. It's that simple.

Freezing scientific funding isn’t abstract. In medicine, life or death is often dictated by time. Temporary delays can cause great harm.
A friend of mine has skin cancer and was about to start a clinical trial at MD Anderson after his other treatments did not work.

Trump's decision to temporarily halt funding for medical research also applies to clinical trials. 

His treatment is now canceled.

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave. This is why women need protections, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
