THIS! THIS is what we need more of! THIS is changing the narrative and bringing people together.

This full podcast is long, but take the time to watch it! Even if you don’t do it all in one sitting.

Pete’s message hits home for ALL of us and is the leadership we need!

Listening to the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance live hearings this morning and I have to say - it's refreshing to see both sides agreeing on a topic and working together - I wish we saw more of this

People don't miss manufacturing jobs. They miss the effects of having 30+ percent union density. And we can build worker power again, with good policies, for the jobs most working class people actually have today rather than hoping mumbo jumbo will make it 1955 again.
When (some) people talk about bringing back manufacturing, they mean "bring back steel & auto jobs that someone can take right out of high school, and live a middle class life"
The worst part of this is that even if manufacturing jobs came back because of this (they won’t)
and even if Americans retooled for those jobs (they won’t) those jobs sucked! It’s like demanding to return to being a farming society. People fled that life the instant they could, in the millions!

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates:

"Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels?

The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.

Me sitting over here waiting to see what the next big thing is that's going to drop by this administration to take up the news and distract us from these texts. . .

Let's talk about why this isn't the proposal!
NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!”

@USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?”

NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY*

I ordered my copy - did you?
🧵Started ‘Careless People’ tonight and — it is the book that EVERYONE needs to be reading right now.

It’s the brand new whistleblower memoir by a former Facebook Public Policy Director of 7 years that Meta is moving mountains to silence.

Yes! Can't state this enough - don't only show up for the bad - REWARD the GOOD!!
Yes! And, if your senator is a NO, still call and THANK THEM for being a NO.

Reinforcing the behavior we like is just as important as rebuking the behavior we disapprove.

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!

2/2: If you are comfortable in doing so - PLEASE don’t let this courage go unnoticed and share, write or even better - call and say thank you! Especially if you live in Nebraska and even more so if you live in district 2!

1/2: I’ll start by saying thank you, GOP Senator Don Bacon for taking a stance and exemplifying true leadership - which some times means speaking up for what’s right, even when the pressure to do the opposite may be immense!

2/2: Our Senators and Representatives listen to what provides the greatest feedback from constituents. Let's start providing that feedback. #LetsChangeTheNarrative

1/2: I have a RADICAL idea - let's start sharing gratitude posts for BOTH "sides" of congress on something they have done that's bipartisan and we can all get behind and say thank you for! Like the old saying goes "kill them with kindness".
