Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it.

Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

HANNITY: How are sanctuary cities not aiding and abetting in the lawbreaking?

BONDI: It is. Look at antifa at Berkeley. That could be material support for terrorism. There are potential criminal charges.

Orange fuckhead got his “special military operation” just like his master Putin!
The “peace president” is starting a war.
Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

Chuck reopened the government and Trump still said stop SNAP and the SCOTUS seems willing to hear him out! Who on earth could've predicted Trump would still stop SNAP even after the shutdown ended and SCOTUS would help him starve Americans?
#BREAKING: Over a public dissent from Justice Jackson, #SCOTUS *extends* the temporary pause of the district court’s order that had mandated full SNAP payments for November—keeping that ruling (and those payments) on hold through the end of the day this Thursday:

Does anyone actually think they’ll get the votes they need to vote on releasing the #EpsteinFiles? A few Republicans will shift to no and this will die in the house.

I feel like anyone who dealt with Schumer's office for any prolonged amount of time would realize he is hardly a Machiavellian genius.

It's like watching slapstick! They are all over the place! The man has a fucking flip phone for chrissakes!

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

How happy are the American people? Are we winning yet? When oh when are we all going to be “so happy,” Mr. President? Because it’s been nearly a year and everything is worse. Reality eventually comes calling and you can only scream it isn’t true for so long.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

@sanders.senate.gov: "We have already had 15 Republicans in the Senate defy Trump and say, 'Release the SNAP funds.' So I think that if we had held firm, it would be the Republicans who would yield. That was not the position of these 8 Democrats."

NEW: The First Circuit has denied the Trump Admin’s motion to stay in our SNAP case. This means that full benefits should be paid after the SCOTUS stay expires. The court does not mince words about what the government has done here. Congrats to our clients, co-counsel, and @democracyforward.org.
