I am sure the Gaza protests of Trump policy will definitely get started any minute now.

Real wage growth was negative for the fifth consecutive month in August.

Breaking News: The 10-year Treasury yield, one of the world’s most important interest rates, breached 5% for the first time in years, capping a long stretch of turmoil in the bond market that has pushed up borrowing costs for companies and consumers. https://t.co/V1PPPru1nu

Hillary Clinton: "I love Israel, and I hate Netanyahu's government and his policies. I love America, and I hate Trump's government and policies ... if the Israelis want to vote for that again, then I think the United States has to take a very tough position."

More than 190,000 Indiana children have lost Medicaid coverage since Gov. Braun took office, making Indiana the state with the largest percentage drop-off in children on Medicaid in that time period.

“The state has the ability, with or without a disaster SNAP declaration, to do mass benefit replacement by looking at the households in the zip codes that we know were impacted.”

Gov. Braun’s admin is failing to do the bare minimum for Hoosier families.

Happy Labor Day, Indiana! Today we celebrate every Hoosier worker and stand with labor in the fight for fair wages, good benefits, safe working conditions, and the right to join a union in all workplaces.

If you have to mention “I don’t mean it in a racist way,” what you’re saying is racist.

This language is disgusting and should be called out for what it is.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

Pretty sure calling the black leader of the Democrats an ‘AIPAC monkey’ can’t be not racist. And it’s definitely not said in support of Palestinian sovereignty.

The Archdiocese of Indianapolis issued a temporary dispensation from the obligation to attend mass. The decree comes as ICE activities have surged in recent days. https://t.co/eo1TgWpN8o

I think both Islamophobia and racism are bad.

Is it legal to record ICE agents or other law enforcement in Indiana? Know your rights https://t.co/6oWsfTiGvG

“Why was there indifference towards an evil that could have been stopped? This is the question Americans had best start reckoning with. I have said for 12 long years that fascism did not rise in the 1930s because it was strong, but rather because democracy was weak.”

“There’s nobody to help.”

This is not a partisan issue, it’s about good government. 20+ years of Republican rule is failing our state. From decades of brazen corruption to dropping the ball on the recent storm response, Hoosiers deserve better.

BREAKING: Liam Tadeo was just deported by ICE.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center.

ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad.

Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.

Say whatever you need to say, however you need to say it, however long you need to say it.

But I’m going to say this slowly and stubbornly for the folks who still don’t get it:

When Democrats win the House majority in a few weeks, @RepJeffries who has kept his caucus remarkably unified and has been historically successful at controlling the House floor from the minority- WILL become the first Black Speaker of the House.

That’s not speculation. That’s how this will work because he has done the work from leading to recruiting to raising the necessary funds for the team to compete.

So argue, complain, handwring, write your think pieces, post your threads, curse me out. Hell, do what you need to do.

The vast majority of us are focused on winning the damn majority in both chambers and addressing the needs of the American people.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

An Amazon worker died in one of Amazon's warehouses. 

As he lay on the floor dying, management told the other workers: "Just turn around and don't look. Get back to work." 

That was a human being. A child of God. Sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.
