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.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

The anti-voter SAVE Act failed in Congress thanks to widespread opposition. Now, its proponents are pressuring the Election Assistance Commission to enact a similar “show-your-papers” requirement for voting. Will you speak out against this attack on the freedom to vote? bit.ly/4ngSyyl

Trump's mass deportations aren't just pointlessly cruel.
His own Labor Department is now warning they are "threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices" for Americans.
We should be offering the people who feed us a path out of the shadows — not demonizing them.

1st act of an autocratic government attempting to usurp power, demonize and “other” the opposing side. The freedom to protest is an American civic DUTY.
“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.
Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

The Trump admin is pouring $625 million into the coal industry & selling 13 millions acres of public lands.
This will hurt consumers and destroy the environment.
And for what? So Trump's billionaire buddies in the failing fossil fuel industry can hoard more money.

Inequality has always been the “trickle down” outcome.
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1
CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1
Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
