81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The Cowardly Eight™ will forever be remembered for failing to save democracy and healthcare. They made a choice. They need to go, NOW, along with Schumer and Jeffries. Incrementalist, defeatist leadership by @democrats.org is killing Americans & a free America.

Senate Democrats' Cowardly Eight Knifed Americans In The Back
The sudden move on Sunday, despite claims to the contrary, appears to have been caused partly by worry about holiday travel amidst chaos at the nation's airports, giving Trump an easy win. Again.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

China saves the world while the US tries to throw gasoline on the climate fire. Didn't have that on my bingo list
This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Siddhant Awasthi and Emmanuel Lamacchia, the Tesla executives in charge of its Cybertruck and Model Y programs, are leaving the company.
They're the latest in a string of high-profile executive exits.

Every day this shutdown drags on, Virginians feel it, from federal workers struggling to pay their bills to families unsure how they will put food on the table because this administration is cruelly and deliberately withholding the assistance they need.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.
