Destroying separation of church & state, removing “HISTORY” from the curriculum, eliminating free school lunches, & no longer providing funding to public schools so private schools become the only valid source of education for the privileged.

The youth is cooked.

wow. we are all shocked and surprised

Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.

I would know because I wrote the law.

Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.

This is what illegal corruption looks like. https://t.co/JJjJ59DgB5

TOMORROW @SenSanders is forcing the first ever vote in Congress on blocking weapons to the Israeli military.

The US is fully complicit in the Israeli government's brutality, atrocities, and genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Have you ever had to jump through hoops to cancel a subscription—chatting with an agent, making a call, writing a letter?

The FTC’s new rule means it must be as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up for one, & the CFPB is ready to enforce it for financial companies.

plan to build 3 million new homes.

Trump had a plan to place white men above everyone else, and to use his office to exact revenge on anyone he doesn’t like.

And nearly 50% of voters thought his plan was better.

You can never convince me it was because of credibility or

Just a reminder to the people still here:

Kamala had a plan to lower food costs, cut student debt, 25k help with buying a first home, 6K for a new baby, 3K a year to help with children, a plan to make housing more available by blocking private equity from buying homes, and

BREAKING: Senator Jon Ossoff ran a campaign focused on ending corruption in the healthcare industry. As Donald Trump threatens to destroy Medicaid and Social Security, these are the types of messages we need to spread

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

The big problem with the US political system is that billionaires are allowed to buy the elections. That is usually called corruption, but in the US infamous John Roberts's SCOTUS legalized such purchases in 2010 (Citizen United verdict).

"We need to stop pretending there is some perfect Democratic candidate or magic messaging to reach people who have abandoned objective reality ... to embrace their fears and phobias, while failing to do the slightest bit of work to know what candidates' policies and plans are."

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

This election result isn't about Dem messaging.

Their messaging during the campaign was about helping the middle class, continuing with sound economic policies, affordable healthcare and education, the rights of women, strengthening the border, unity.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz formed a balanced ticket filled with character, intellect, and genuine love for this country, and they eloquently delivered their vision better beautifully.

This election result is about racism, misogyny, lack of education—and an irresponsible media that caters to those realities.

There is no messaging that can overcome prejudice and ignorance, and those two factors are the only explanation for Trump even being the nominee and getting 75 million votes.

We need to stop pretending there is some perfect Democratic candidate or magic messaging to reach people who have abandoned objective reality and chosen to embrace their fears and phobias, while failing to do the slightest bit of work to know what candidates' policies and plans are.

The Dems didn't fail America, they just exist in a nation where far too many people don't pay attention or care to understand what's actually happening. Maybe they will now.

So, the same Republicans who spent years & tens of millions of our tax dollars demanding to see the contents of a laptop belonging to Joe Biden’s private citizen son, don’t want to see the ethics report on the former Congressman Trump wants to make our nation’s Attorney General?

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

We should be able to track a ballot just like we can track a package.

California already does this, but my Vote By Mail Tracking Act—which just passed the House—would add a barcode to each ballot nationwide, so every American can have confidence their vote is counted.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

We cannot allow billionaires to determine the outcome of our elections.

Citizens United has got to go.

It's time for public funding of elections.
