Trump and Republicans are terrified of policies that curb their own wealth and power, and the wealth and power of the oligarchs that bankroll them.
That's why they're amping up the fearmongering about "socialism."
As Trump attacks women’s reproductive choices, I signed new bills strengthening California’s nation-leading protections on reproductive rights and maternal health.
We’re expanding access to care for students and vets, bolstering perinatal and postpartum care, and allowing health professionals to serve more people.
This man is so deeply Christian he insults & lies about my deceased mom & dad.
Fundamentalists believe God prefers them, so they can hate, piously.
The actual religion is:
1) Criminalizing abortion (which the Bible never commands)
2) Pretending they're better than you.
Amid the darkness of 9/11, so many Americans demonstrated what is best about our nation. People saved lives, gave blood, helped one another, signed up to serve.
Looking back on what happened in 2001 and all that has come since, we must hold to the memories and examples of those who were lost, those who responded, and what it was like for this country to come together as one.
The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life.
A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation.
No more political violence.
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
This week, our country was shaken by yet another act of horrific political violence. Charlie Kirk, a young activist, husband, and father of two, has tragically left behind his family and children. This violence must end, and we must stand together in condemning it.
What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨
I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family.
Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.
Love you former President Obama. Glad to see a real human being showing compassion for others and not have the bullshit attitude of "Let them eat cake." I suppose next he'll be tossing them paper towels like he did to those in Puerto Rico during his first term.
The flash flooding in Central Texas is absolutely heartbreaking. Michelle and I are praying for everyone who has lost a loved one or is waiting for news — especially the parents. And we’re grateful to the first responders and rescue teams working around the clock to help.
Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper.
DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. And it’s an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies.
We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect. In fact, it’s the only way we ever will.
