My God, what a perfect quote for this moment in American history

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Total student loan debt that would have been erased for millions of Americans: $400 billion

Total cost of the Trump tax cuts that largely benefited the wealthy and corporations: $1.9 trillion

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

This morning, Donald Trump raged at Fox News for showing 'Horrible' pictures of him: "3 people in New Hampshire asked me why Fox News uses such 'horrible' pictures of me when doing or promoting a story"

Donald Trump has a very fragile ego. Please don't retweet this "horrible" Trump picture

AMAZING! The Biden administration just announced $40 billion for high speed internet. This will help rural America greatly.

Biden helps ALL Americans, not just the ones who voted for him.

Do I have this right...Chief Justice Roberts launched a full-scale investigation into a leaked opinion but has done nothing to investigate members of the Court who are jetting around with GOP megadonors?

Since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, analysts & officials have claimed that Putin will never back down; that he needs a facing-saving win (i.e. Ukrainian territory) to end his war. Events yesterday completely undermined that assumption. 1/ THREAD

@MarshaBlackburn It is clear you are paying absolutely no attention to what is actually going on with regard to China or the Indo-pacific region, which is inexcusable with Prime Minister Modi actually HERE. What do you think that visit is about? Or all our other strengthened partnerships?

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Putin reportedly has fled Moscow.

You know who didn't flee the capital ahead of advancing Russian forces?

President Zelenskyy.

Republicans are working on Hunter Biden’s laptop and censuring Adam Schiff.

Boycott PGA Golf

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

1. For months, the @PGATOUR has been VERY CLEAR: The Saudi investment in pro golf is about papering over its human rights abuses and buying legitimacy

YESTERDAY, the PGA Tour announced, in exchange for billions, they would help launder the Saudis' reputation

Colgate-Palmolive, which controls 40% of the toothpaste market, has increased prices 12% even as volume declined by 2%. As a result, the company's profits have soared.

Greed and market concentration are driving inflation, not workers demanding better wages and benefits.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

House Republicans get $79 per day for meals and incidentals.

Poor people get $2 per meal under SNAP.

Republicans want to cut $2 for the poor while pocketing nearly 40 times as much for their own meals.

Sound fair to you?

BREAKING: Republican Liz Cheney stuns the audience during a commencement address at her alma mater Colorado College by bluntly calling out her own party — to the horror of the MAGA graduates and parents in attendance.

Cheney said that after the 2020 election and deadly Jan. 6th insurrection, "my fellow Republicans wanted me to lie" and they "wanted me to say that the 2020 election was stolen" and that the Capitol riot "wasn't a big deal" and "Trump wasn't dangerous."

“I had to choose between lying and losing my position in House leadership," she explained.

She revealed that on her very last day as chair of her party's conference, she told them outright that "if they wanted a leader who would lie, they should choose someone else.”

“No party, no nation, no people can defend and perpetuate a constitutional republic if they accept leaders who have gone to war with the rule of law, with the democratic process, with the peaceful transfer of power, with the Constitution itself," she added.

Retweet to thank Liz Cheney for her honesty!

15 yrs ago, my cat woke me up to let me know that my son was dying. Collin was in a diabetic coma. Only the cat knew. The doctors told me he would not survive. But he made it. And he graduated from college and grad school with an engineering degree. A good day after all.

I don't know about you, but after seeing this lunacy tonight, I'm more committed than ever to doing all I can to help re-elect @POTUS @JoeBiden next year!

If you have Joe's back too, please share!

To CNN:
He isn't the party nominee.
He isn't even the presumptive nominee.
He is an unsuccessful defendant in suit for defamation and assault.
He is under indictment.
He has been impeached twice.
Explain to me why he is worth what you are handing over to him.
Why now?
