Time to reset their budget to whatever it was the last time they actually passed a budget and tell them they won't get any more money until they pass another. #accountability #militaryindustrialcomplex
The Pentagon just failed their EIGHTH STRAIGHT AUDIT.

Congress cannot continue funneling hundreds of billions of dollars to a completely unaccountable agency while American families can’t afford food or health care. www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...
Pentagon fails financial audit for 8th year in a row
DOD is the only one of the government’s 24 major agencies never to pass.

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters”

James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

If Trump is innocent, prove it.

If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it.

If you're a politician and aren't complicit in Epstein's crimes, prove it.

Release the Epstein files.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

The American people know that our current health care system is broken and extremely expensive. They understand that health care is a human right.

A recent poll shows that 6 in 10 back Medicare for All.

Let’s do it.
6 in 10 Americans Back Medicare for All — Poll
The poll's results stand in stark contrast to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," which cuts federal health care spending.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

This. Contact your senators demanding they make @schumer.senate.gov step down as Senate minority leader. If they don't, we need to make sure they are ALL primaried from the left. I personally will not be supporting anyone who does not support #universalhealthcare. #votethemout
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

If you are a voter who typically votes democrat and have a Dem. senator, email and/or call them to demand the @schumer.senate.gov step down as minority leader immediately. He is clearly not able to do the job effectively.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

I’m terribly disappointed in him.

@democrats.org so the resounding victory you go across the country last Tuesday wasn't enough of a message that the people want you to FIGHT for them? FFS how much more dense could you possibly be? #primaryeveryone

At least we know there's one person who gets it
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Been a bit but just found a new song for the country #protestmusic. This one from @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social called #TheOlderIGet. This resonates with me cuz how many times have you heard "you'll get more conservative as you get older" from boomers? #DontLookAway

For those of you in NYC not sure about Mamdani's idea for a millionaire tax, I would urge you to read this article about the same tax that was instituted in my home state of MA just 2 years ago. Spoiler alert: it's delivering better than expected. #taxtherich

The Fair Share Amendment is delivering - CommonWealth Beacon
Nearly three years after its passage, it’s becoming clear that the millionaires tax has been a total success, and an incredible benefit for our state’s businesses.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

This next one is from one of my all time favorite groups, #OldCrowMedicineShow. It's not quite as recent but I believe it was written around #MangoMussolini first term, so it's quite relevant. Take a listen to "Mean Enough World." #Don'tLookAway
