This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

"Brueggemann had a humble spirit, an academic mind, and a poetic soul — but don’t be fooled: He was, above all, a radical."

Yes. When the richest man alive owns over 5 times more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households, our country is rapidly moving towards oligarchy. That is unacceptable.

We must create an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just the billionaire class.

Just left the Senate after voting a hard NO on the “one big, beautiful bill.”

I will never support a bill that uses Medicare, Medicaid or SNAP cuts to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

OPINION: Jeffrey Goldberg is the moral hero we need at this moment.

Last night, every Senate Democrat voted for my amendment calling for a $17 an hour federal minimum wage while every Republican but 1 opposed it. The movement to raise the minimum wage to a living wage is growing.

In 2025, a job must lift you out of poverty, not keep you in it.

Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

I have met with most of the cabinet nominees and have carefully watched their confirmation hearings.

After considering what’s at stake, I have voted against moving forward to the confirmation of Ms. Gabbard and Mr. Kennedy, and will be voting NO on their confirmations.

“I am shocked by the gleeful assault perpetrated by our own government against U.S.A.I.D.’s programs and the public servants who work on them,” writes Samantha Power, the former head of the agency.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

they have nothing but contempt for their constituents. Boooot them all out of office. Celebrating people's misery. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

This man is one of Marco Rubio's newest hires at the State Department. It's hard to even comprehend the mindset that says that he's qualified to represent the United States in any capacity at all.

Our people across #MD08 are rightly demanding answers about President Trump's systematic destruction of federal programs and the civil service.
