81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social DON’T DO IT! Please! For the love of God, don’t! You’ve been holding out for US! Deal now, & it was for nothing! They’ll take it all because, I for one, will find an alternative when I vote! And I won’t be alone! 🇺🇸💙

Here’s a thought… How about gun legislation? You know, age limits, background checks, maybe a waiting period at a minimum. None of those takes your guns away. What’s your excuse this time? 🇺🇸💙

All this means is more money & control for the top 1%! Ultimately, it’s us in the 98% who will pay the bill, just like tariffs. Whether in OTC cost increases or taxes, benefits to us lesser creatures will be minimal. 🇺🇸💙
A new merger wave has begun in America. Like its predecessors, it is energised by technological promise, enthusiastic credit markets, willing politicians and striving bosses

Seems to me journalists today have more to consider than algorithms. Many need a course in journalistic ethics & integrity. The current global political climate DEMANDS that the news reported is accurate & truthful. That’s not what they’re giving us. DO BETTER!!! 🇺🇸💙

What amazes me is that anyone who went through everything it takes to become an attorney would risk their law license, not once but twice, merely to protect the mechanisms of an adjudicated criminal. Guess FAFO isn’t just for the uneducated anymore 😆🇺🇸💙
Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general and former head of President Trump’s criminal defense team, has helped usher in his retribution campaign. But he faces anger on the right for resisting some of the most extreme measures.

Dear Members of Congress, please use this horrible act as momentum for positive action, not a catalyst for ever increasing violence & dissension. We, the American people, are sick & tired of your “thoughts & prayers” while you ALLOW this kind of violence. PASS BIPARTISAN GUN LEGISLATION NOW! 🇺🇸💙
