There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.
This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

Said essentially this a few days ago.
I don't know how many times I can say it, or how many ways, but the right's actions *are not caused by the left*. They want power & control. They want to destroy the left, crush its organizing mechanisms, jail its leaders, and rule without opposition. THEY DON'T NEED EXCUSES.

As Trump holds Northwestern University hostage with $800 million in frozen funds, Northwestern leadership cracks down on students' right to free speech.
These policies put more than 22,000 students at risk of punishment for peacefully protesting for any cause in any way.

We are taking the Trump administration's threats to our immigrant students and our higher education institutions very seriously.
I was truly inspired by those I met today who shared their experiences as students and alumni at City Colleges navigating these attacks.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Kudos to Stephen Colbert on his Emmy win last night. It was a pleasure chatting with him a few weeks ago on The Late Show about how rampant inequality has brought us to this moment in American history — and what we can do to fix our politics.

Coming off the August Jobs Day report, I have an op-ed in @msnbc.com about why we should be concerned about the rising Black unemployment rate.

Opinion | Black unemployment is rising sharply. That's an ominous sign for the whole economy.
Tariffs have hurt manufacturing, while DOGE has imposed deep cuts on government workers. Both sectors disproportionately employ Black people.
