Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

This is just so deeply vile on a human level. I’m no Massie fan, but the guy tragically lost his wife & remarried. Trump, by contrast, treats women like garbage & was joined at the hip with a pedophile network.
Trump is a psychopath. He represents the worst of humanity.

If you engage in an insurrection to overturn an election on behalf of the president, you get a pardon.
If you illegally possess firearms, that too will be excused.
Trump’s actions are a dangerous invitation to lawlessness, if you use that lawlessness to keep him in power.

NEW: California now has nearly 17,000 megawatts of battery storage – reaching one-third of the way to our 2045 goal.
We're deploying more battery storage than any state in America, building a stronger grid, cutting pollution, and securing a safer future for our nation.

When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.
