This is the fist bump everyone needs to be talking about.

Ted Cruz and fellow Republicans celebrating after blocking a bill to help toxin-exposed veterans survive.

Elon Musk told the United Nations he would give them $6 billion to end world hunger if they showed him a detailed plan of how they would use the money. They called his bluff and gave him their plan— and then they never got the money. Now he’s buying Twitter for $45 billion.

A Supreme Court justice’s spouse was a part of an active plot to overturn the most recent presidential election and participated in a rally that led to an insurrection in our nation’s Capitol. This won’t be the top news story today, but it matters.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Last year, oil & gas companies made $174 billion in profits. This year they're on track to make more. We cannot allow big oil to use Ukraine & "inflation" as an excuse to rip-off Americans. I'm proud to join @SenWhitehouse to introduce a windfall profits tax. Let's get it done.

Only in America do service workers have to find a replacement when they get sick.

They have to spend unpaid time begging people to fill their shift - all for the privilege of getting an unpaid day off at home, unable to go to the doctor because they don't have health insurance.

@phillysport Yes

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Your reminder that a majority of the current nine Supreme Court justices — all appointed for life — were put there by presidents who lost the popular vote.

Does anyone else see a problem with this picture?

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

It's not "free healthcare" or "free childcare." We pay for these things with our taxes. It's just that we choose to prioritize these expenses over endless wars and fossil fuel industry subsidies.

Don't let them define the debate.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Why is it considered to be 'no big deal' for some of my colleagues to want to spend some $778 BILLION annually in defense spending, but the second we suggest that MAYBE we should invest in the needs of working class people, well, oh my God, the sky is falling!

Disgraceful.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

So much angst over 10 million open jobs and no one pointing out how 13 million people have to work multiple jobs to survive.

Maybe we should focus less on filling bad part-time jobs and focus more on the people who just want one good full-time job?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Is there a labor shortage? Or a shortage of jobs that treat workers with dignity?

[jason concepcion @netw3rk]

anyway I would just urge millionaires who dont want to get vaxxed to think about the people around them who maybe dont have jobs that pay them if they call out sick and who dont have access to the best doctors and treatments money can buy

@thatnoonan That’s the bartender’s 10 minute break sitting in the cooler. Crush an egg and the champagne of beers for a boost in energy!

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

It’s time to tax the richest of the rich and invest in our communities. It’s that simple.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

So vaccine mandates are an infringement of personal freedom, but abortion bans aren't?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

In case you missed it, the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans now own a record-breaking one-third of all shares of stock, and the richest 10 percent own almost 90 percent of all shares.

Never in the history of this country has corporate wealth been more concentrated.

Reminder for you slow folks in the back. #MadeInAmerica products don’t get stuck on cargo ships.

@SpikeEskin 😂💯

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

Future historians — if there are any future historians, that is, if civilization doesn't collapse — will be astonished that we let the planet burn for the sake of an industry that employs less than 3 percent of workers even in West Virginia

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

As Trump prepares to run in 2024, remember this: If there is no accountability for the last attempted coup, the next one will succeed.
