This emerging "peace deal" (if in fact it's actually real this time) does nothing but restore where we were four months ago.
$50 billion dollars, 13 dead Americans, and soaring gas prices, just to re-open a strait that was already open. The Art of the Deal.
Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.
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.
Jennifer Welch: “Susan Collins votes for the rights of rapists over the rights of rape victims. Stop with the purity tests and all this bullshit. It’s nauseating, nobody likes it. We need to be completely locked in, dark woke, in the gutter, fuck these people”
“They told us voting is a privilege, not a right.”
That’s what I heard from students at North Carolina A&T who are fighting to protect access to the ballot.
These young leaders are organizing, speaking out, and refusing to let anyone take their power, and I am so proud of them.
It’s not their flag - it’s ours. It’s a proud American symbol, and it doesn’t belong to Trump or MAGA. This weekend, take back our flag and share with us how you’re displaying your patriotism #TakeBackTheFlag
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
Really Retro. Who did I sell access too? Show me one legitimate shred of evidence I sold access. But even if you believe all the BS about me, how is it your okay with this:
Don Jr. is a partner in a venture firm whose companies pulled more than $735 million in federal contracts in a single year. One, a tiny magnet startup, landed a $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest that office had ever made, months after his firm bought in. Its valuation went from $200 million to $2 billion.
Eric is a strategic investor in an Israeli drone maker going public at $1.5 billion. Drones the Pentagon buys. For the war their father runs.
And Don Jr. opened a private club in Washington. To join: $500,000.
Thanks I forgot:
Joe Biden received 81 million votes. More than any candidate for President in the history of this country. It was a total landslide. A wipe out of historic proportions. He then went on to pass more bipartisan legislation than any President since LBJ. Conversely Donald Trump has not done much except start a war no one wanted doubled inflation expanded the trade deficit to historic highs and enriched himself and his family to the tune of billions of dollars.
On this day in 1963, civil rights leader and organizer #MedgarEvers was assassinated by a white supremacist in the driveway of his home. We remember his legacy and honor his family, including his wife, #MyrlieEversWilliams, who was a dear friend of our founder, #CorettaScottKing.

Elon Musk may become the world’s first trillionaire while millions of workers are one medical bill, one rent hike, or one layoff away from disaster. Yet there are people who will defend Elon, turning on their own class.
If you’re still supporting the guy who ran on lowering costs but has SKYROCKETED them; who ran on “ending wars” but has STARTED them; who ran on “ending inflation on day one” but has BALLOONED it and says “he loves” the higher inflation HE CAUSED; you’re in a motherfucking cult.
The same country that tells you healthcare is too expensive just watched billionaires cheer a $75 billion SpaceX IPO. There is always money. The question is who gets it. You don't. They told you you'd get $4,000 checks from DOGE. They lied.
Big banks denied entire communities the opportunity to buy homes, start small businesses, and build financial security right here in our City for generations. In response, Ponce Bank was founded in the 1960's to give Puerto Rican New Yorkers the opportunity to build wealth.
Today, alongside @NYCComptroller and @nycfinance, we announced that we are depositing $20 million into Ponce Bank branches in Inwood and the Bronx to directly increase access to capital for working people.
Government should invest directly into people and neighborhoods. So that’s exactly what we’re doing.
A man in Florida is suing Jacksonville Beach police after they relied on an incorrect facial-recognition result to arrest him for a crime in a city he never visited. The ACLU says police concealed evidence that he couldn't have committed the crime, including facts about distance and license-plate-reader searches.
They're locking people up without a positive ID of their suspect? This is criminal and outrageous.
