This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Not to worry. Many countries survive without shipments from these countries. For instance, North Korea.

John Deere announced that it will lay off over 200 workers, citing the economic uncertainty created by Trump's tariffs.

Workers aren't just paying more for everyday goods now because of tariffs, their jobs are also on the line.

It's a recipe for a bigger economic disaster.

What? Trump deployed the National Guard to DC to establish law and order to a city that has the lowest crime rate in 30 years, and isn't even in the too 20 of comparable cities. I thought Nancy Pelosi was in charge of deploying to Natiopn Guard?

It's the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and two things are true at once: The law has never been more under threat, and it's more important than ever to fight for its promise of an equal voice for every citizen.

My optimism about our ability to save our democracy comes from my experience. No matter how broken or bruised our democracy is today, I have seen it work and I know it can work again. I have seen the power of collective action. I know it can save us now.

Note that sections 9 and 10 deal with:

- Writ of Habeas Corpus
- Congresses ability to control tariffs.

See screenshot below: Notice that 9 and 10 are gone.

@lyndah612.bsky.social just followed you on Twitter. I think this place is nicer too tho I’m more active in the bad place. Just nice to get away from it sometimes & have some civil conversation & even talk about things other than politics like science, medicine, gardening, books, etc. w/o MAGA/bots!

It is time that Democrats not only match what Republicans are doing with gerrymandering, but exceed it. Every Democratic controlled state needs to be looking to redrawing their maps -- not to gain 5 seats like in TX, but cumulatively 15, 20 or 30 seats. We must use every tool available.

Today we celebrate 60 years of Medicare and Medicaid, two great programmatic achievements of democracy in America. MAGA just cut millions of people off Medicaid to give billionaires tax cuts, but we’ll work to repeal their dreadful bill and restore the health of our people.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.
