Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

John Oliver and Co did a great explanation of what public media does, and who exactly the funding recission actually hurts (Hint: it's not liberal elites.) Also very proud to see my old friend and former WBEZ reporter Lauren Chooljian featured for her amazing work.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Today someone asked how much I would pay in taxes to ensure everyone had housing & healthcare
I don’t know, whatever I could? This isn’t the “gotcha” folks think it is
If we taxed the rich properly, the rest of us wouldn’t need to pay exorbitant taxes to ensure every single person was provided for

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.
If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.
Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION.
$793 BILLION.
It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage.
Just wild.

Mike Johnson brazenly lies: "We are not cutting Medicaid. The president has said that and I have said that. We're all said that. We're strengthening the program."

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
