I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Trump and Republicans think it’s ok for kids to go hungry if it means their billionaire friends get richer.

It’s sick—and I’ll keep fighting to reverse these cruel cuts to SNAP.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Under RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz's leadership, Medicare rolled out a pilot program that allows AI companies to profit from denying seniors their health care.

They are literally incentivized to RIP health care away from seniors.

I’m fighting to END this program.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

If the media corporations want people like me and you to fight for their constitutional rights, maybe they should stand up and start protecting their own damn constitutional rights rather than holding black-tie events honoring the guy. https://t.co/BwBUJ1yDXW

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Just a reminder to @RepJeffries. kushner is not a member of govt despite pretending he is.

He is driving intense self dealing and corruption. He enables Trump.

There really is no excuse for a secret meeting, especially before the election

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Katie Phang is out with her latest column, taking apart Trump’s secretive plan to flood the U.S. market with hundreds of millions of pounds of foreign beef, while refusing to say where it’s coming from or who is behind the deal. https://t.co/WeA5uq8g6s

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

The U.S. needs a new defense strategy. The Iran War showed that a second rate Iranian military can take out our military bases and overseas assets.

Russia and China, and the whole world, now see that the U.S. cannot sustain a war and cannot defend our overseas bases.

A federal appeals court ruled that an acting U.S. attorney in New York was serving illegally when he issued subpoenas to New York Attorney General Letitia James. https://t.co/Ys1QQBkwfR

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

It seems the Trump regime’s feathers were awfully ruffled this week.

One of Trump’s toadies is even going after me.

Heather and I discuss that along with the state of the economy, our skyrocketing national debt, and the last gasp of the corporate Democrats. https://t.co/OMWyjz3BVl

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @WhiteHouse: The American people have the right to know if we will be eating low-quality foreign beef. Why is trump hiding where the foreign beef is coming from?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Yet again, the national debt has soared under a Republican president. It now stands at a record $40 trillion.

Republicans accuse Democrats of being fiscally irresponsible. But time and again, they create economic messes that Democrats have to clean up. Watch.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Anyone know what else happens in the next 90 days? Midterms.

He wants to lower the cost of meat, get your midterm vote, then you can go back to suffering.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Republicans are distancing themselves from Trump; Byron Donalds wouldn’t even say his name. Rick Wilson joins MSNOW to discuss Trump’s newfound political toxicity:

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Donald Trump hates me and Republicans think I am the enemy. Trolls and critics can say what they want, but they should know that I wear their scorn as a badge of honor.

As FDR said, “I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.”

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Melania suddenly resurfaces as Trump’s economic schemes unravel, his threats fall flat, and another election delivers a brutal warning for MAGA.

Meanwhile, world leaders are starting to respond to Trump in a very different way. https://t.co/JorHwAo3Os

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

With every paycheck contribution, we pay for top-tier customer service to make informed decisions at one of the most impactful financial moments in our lives.

Donald Trump wants to sabotage Social Security because it works so well for Americans and their families.

Trump doesn’t care if the government does its job, he just wants obedience across the board. Rick Wilson joins MSNOW to analyze Trump’s latest blunders.
