Where are the rest of the states' governors? No, I don't just mean "blue" states! ALL states should be condemning the actions of ICE in MN! If you think it won't happen to your state, you're wrong! What happens when they run out of blue states? They will come for you too.

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

We are witnessing unacceptable violations of Americans’ safety, rights, and freedoms. No one should accept this. 

The violence must stop.

Michiganders stand with Minnesotans as they exercise their First Amendment right to protest and make their voices heard peacefully.

Mr. President: Read the Constitution.

The function of the U.S. military is to protect us from FOREIGN enemies, not Portland, OR.

In this country we have local and state police for law enforcement, not federal troops.

Stop deploying the U.S. army against Americans.

@MIHouseDems What about school lunches? 🤔

@jeremymbarr Apologies do not undo his words! We've all heard the "break a plate" analogy before, right? They're desensitizing Americans again. He needs to lose his job. The end.

We have a system of checks and balances. That includes checking egregious judicial overreach and abuse of power.

Without a check, democratically-elected lawmaking will be increasingly disposed of and replaced by a partisan judiciary. Folks may not want to face it, but it’s here.

Here's what happens with the American people: They work longer hours, their standard of living is in decline, and they turn on their television, but they do not see a reflection of that reality in the news media.

SNAP’s boosted benefits expired this month as the government winds down its pandemic assistance programs.

@throughlineNPR If only the residents of East Palestine had chosen to be banks instead of working class people, the government would've made them whole already

UPDATE: Union Pacific, one of the railroads that successfully fought off workers' demands for paid sick days, announced a record $7 billion profit. The company said it spent $1.7 billion more on stock buybacks in 2022 than on pay and benefits for all of its employees.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Why in the world does Congress have to authorize borrowing for spending that it has already approved?

Here’s a suggestion...

Abolish the debt ceiling.

It serves absolutely no purpose. End the drama.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Never forget that the 25 richest people in America paid a true tax rate of just 3.4% between 2014 and 2018 on over $400 billion in wealth gains. The rest of America paid an average of 13.3% in 2018.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

I’m sick and tired of hearing this lie peddled by the GOP and corporate media. Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken on— and defaulting on the debt would be catastrophic.

[The Late Show @colbertlateshow]

That’s one epic fail. #Colbert

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Why did more than 200,000 workers go on strike this year? Perhaps it’s because CEOs are now paid 399 times as much as a typical worker…
