Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.

That is beyond unacceptable.

By illegally neutering the National Labor Relations Board, Trump has enabled Jeff Bezos to ignore the union victory at Whole Foods in Philadelphia.

Trump has given the green light to corporations to violate labor law with impunity. Unacceptable. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Whole Foods says Trump’s actions make union win moot

Probably the worst thing about social media is when some random corncob tells you that you don’t know anything a topic you’ve written a WHOLE ASS BOOK ABOUT.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Tomorrow I'll be speaking at a press conference at the U.S. Capitol. Standing alongside Mrs. Sicknick as we continue this seemingly impossible journey for accountability.
I'll be joined by Whip Katherine Clark, Benny Thompson, Bonnie Watson Coleman and other lawmakers committed to this fight.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

I have never seen anyone flip as quickly as Robert F. Kennedy did on the question of whether a woman has the right to control her own body.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.

Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.

We must stop him.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.

It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.
