Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.
During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange—completely ignoring its history of corruption and bribery.
Why? Maybe because they donated $5M to his inauguration.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
