On International Day of Women & Girls, let's honor Frances Perkins, the trailblazing first female Secretary of Labor. She fought for Social Security, fair labor laws, and a living wage. Her legacy is a reminder that true leaders protect the vulnerable, not dismantle their safety nets. t.ly/jyrbp

Marco Rubio think it’s cute to thank @POTUS for 'courage' when he sat there like a silent puppet, shrinking in his seat and said nothing during that disastrous Oval Office meeting. If this is leadership, ventriloquists everywhere must be proud. #Disgraceful

Ah, Justice Roberts to the rescue! Hours before a deadline to pay $2B in foreign aid, he grants the Trump admin a stay, letting them stall payments to USAID and State Dept contractors. Apparently, paying bills is hard now. Meanwhile, workers pack their offices in grocery bags. Bravo, indeed!

The irony—Trump voters, who cheered attacks on the ACA and "big government," now want federal help with medical bills. They elect leaders who slash Medicaid and protect insurers, yet demand solutions. It’s like sinking your own boat and wondering why you’re drowning. Delusional much?

In polls and focus groups, Trump voters say they want to the government to do something about big medical bills. It's a big change from 5 years ago, pollsters say, and may not be on Trump's agenda.
Some Trump voters want him to rein in health care costs. It's unclear if he will

The GOP’s big budget bill is crashing as there may be a potential revolt from swing-district Republicans. Who knew governing was harder than slashing programs? And they still don’t know how to govern. Grab the popcorn, this circus isn’t over yet.🍿 #TheyCantGovern

Join the movement! On 2/ 28, let’s send a powerful message to corporations profiting off our struggles. No Amazon, Walmart, gas, or fast food—buy nothing unless it’s essential or from a small business. Together, we’ll show that we have the power. Spread the word! #EconomicBlackout shorturl.at/2RfTa

Ah, nothing like the sweet smell of a trade war! Trump's back, slapping tariffs like it's going out of style. Canada, Mexico, China - no one's safe. Brace yourselves for skyrocketing prices and economic chaos. Who is going to tell Chump in Chief that he's not going to "win!"

Media's role in shaping 2024 election narrative:
Biden: Scrutinized for minor slip-ups
Trump: Major issues often overlooked
Result: Unfair portrayal of Biden as weak
Media fixation on trivial matters
Inadvertently paved way for Trump's return
Lesson: Media influence distorted public perception

It’s laughable that the right hates California so much but has no answer on what they would do without the 5th largest economy in the world driving the economy of the United States.

Cali's burning & Mike Johnson's playing political hot potato! Looks like the Speaker's got a new recipe for disaster relief:
-Add wildfires
-Mix in debt ceiling drama
-Sprinkle with "conditions"
-Serve cold to Californians
Who knew saving lives could be such a bargaining chip?

SCOTUS shifts: 5-4 ruling against Trump

Well, isn't this interesting. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision denies Trump's bid to stop NY sentencing. Roberts and Barrett join liberals, marking a change from previous pro-Trump rulings. Four conservative justices dissented.
