2045 was set to be the year when whites were the minority. This is what they’re freaking out about. I, a white genXer raise on Free to Be You and Me, was really looking forward to a culturally and ethnically diverse society.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

This is the price that a family in Eau Claire will have to pay for their health care plan next year, thanks to Republicans. Does that look affordable to you?

This is the last thing families need on top of their already skyrocketing costs.

“We’ll keep fighting” after giving up the only leverage you’ve had all year.
You’re a disgrace @schumer.senate.gov
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

President Trump said it was "highly unlikely" he would fire Jerome Powell, but also said he discussed the idea with Republican lawmakers who expressed support.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

(Published 2022)
That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Listen, I live in a city. I can’t grow ALL the vegetables. If I grow two things exclusively and create a vast network of trading partners who are growing different two things, we can become our own little city-states I guess.
