The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.

Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Over and over, the Trump-Vance administration is tearing down rules that protect ordinary people from mistreatment by corporations. Now it's happening in the airline sector.

Our nation is in grave danger.

But across America I’m seeing the stirrings of a giant backlash. People rising up and hitting the streets.

Our fight — for democracy, the rule of law, social and economic justice, and decency — is gaining ground.

Trump will lose. We will win.

Is your personal data being weaponized against you when you shop?

Are you paying a different price for products than anyone else?

You may be thanks to a shady practice known as "surveillance pricing."

Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) has introduced a bill to ban the practice.

During his first term, Trump launched so many failed "Infrastructure Weeks" that it became a running joke.

Now he's taking credit for infrastructure projects he opposed.

His whole life, Trump has taken credit for things he inherited — starting with his own personal fortune.

Trump scrapped a Biden rule requiring airlines to compensate passengers for flight delays after the industry gave millions to Trump's inauguration and hired Trumpworld lobbyists.

This isn't about policy anymore.

It's about who can pay off Trump and get in his ear.

We are like ant colonies when you shake up the jar you have them in. We are fighting among ourselves instead of attacking the one shaking the jar.

Some Democrats have shown real heroism. But as a party they are disunited, ineffective, seemingly afraid of their shadows.

What would an opposition party strategy look like if the Democrats were bold and united? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-democrats-got-off-their-asses

The most powerful force in American politics today is antiestablishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate and Wall Street Democrats and embrace Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

BREAKING: Texas House Democrats have fled to Chicago to block a vote on new gerrymandered Congressional maps that would give the GOP five additional seats.

Instead of changing their policies to get more votes Republicans have to cheat.

How can anyone be for what they are doing?

Delta Airlines reportedly wants to use AI to set individualized ticket prices for passengers.

It's the latest company to embrace a shady tactic called "surveillance pricing" that weaponizes your personal data.

Every single person who voted against releasing the Epstein files should publicly answer 1) Who ordered you to stop the release? 2) Who are you protecting? 3) Why do you want to stop the release? 4) Are you part of the sex trafficking? 5) Why do you support illegal sex trafficking?

Start your week off right.

First thing Monday do these simple things:
- Get caffeinated ☕
- Grab the phone
- Call your senators at their DC offices
- Yell at them for any number of reasons about how much this bill will damage your state.
- Feel proud! You did it!
If you have a R senator, seriously call their office tomorrow & say vote against this bill. Say you don’t wan’t three times the budget of NASA going into a sprawling immigrant detention infrastructure. That you don’t want to kick folks you know off Medicaid. That you don’t want solar taxed. reps.fyi
The budget is a statement of values. The budget is policy. This budget is awful.

Bernie Sanders:

“It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college.

That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.”
