Trump is giving $300 billion to Iran. This could pay for:
— Student debt elimination for 7.6M Americans
— An end to homelessness in America
— Healthcare subsidies for 22M Americans for nearly a decade
— Medicaid coverage for 3.2M Americans for a decade
— Food assistance for 41M Americans for 3 years
— Federal cancer research for 40+ years
— Free school lunch for every kid in America for over 4 years
— Replacing every lead pipe in America
— Free pre-K for every child in America for over 7 years
The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth.
The definition of evil is being a trillionaire in a world where millions of children are starving.
The billionaire donors supporting Susan Collins have a net worth of $888 billion, or nearly nine times Maine’s entire economic output in 2025. None are Maine residents. https://t.co/DaXa9XOL5g
If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.
Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.
Two New World Screwworm cases have been confirmed in Texas, infecting both a calf and a dog.
This comes after the Trump admin slashed funding for programs responsible for monitoring the New World Screwworm.
Graham Platner: “The fact that Jeff Bezos exists and the fact that I know someone in Sullivan who works three jobs and pays 60% of her monthly income in rent, those two things are directly connected. There is no metric of hard work that justifies a billionaire when people in Eastern Maine work three jobs just to put food on the table”
Marie Glusenkamp Perez has the guts to stand up to her party and adopt important heterodox positions, like helping Republicans cut fruit and vegetable WIC benefits to children and nursing mothers. Such a profile in courage!
🚨 Republican Susan Collins has been caught illegally hiding $395,000 in stock trades.
Some analysts say her trades show clear signs of insider trading.
This is the type of crisis that a Democratic president would be held personally responsible for by the media. Instead it’s getting virtually no national attention despite the issue being directly connected to federal cuts enacted by the Trump administration
Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.
So of course the @NYTimes finds some reason to attack her.
They hate her because she shows what can be done.
‼️ Sen. Susan Collins failed to report up to $395,000 in stock trades.
- 24 transactions in Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase & CVS from 2013-2018 weren’t disclosed violating the STOCK Act she helped pass.
- Even a Pfizer purchase earlier this year missed the deadline.
Graham Platner: “Susan Collins hasn’t met a war she doesn’t like, and it’s no surprise because she’s married to a lobbyist who represents the defense industry. You don’t see as many articles about that.”
“He’s the best candidate by far. And probing into the minutia of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous”
The New World Screwworm, a grave parasitic threat, has just been detected in US cattle for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.
The parasite's revival comes after Trump and DOGE slashed funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.
I'm starting to become convinced that Trump's monomaniacal obsession with the ballroom/bunker is because he plans on barricading himself inside the bunker when his term is up.
