I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.
Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.
A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.
Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.
Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

Cost of public college tuition:
Sweden: $0
Norway: $0
Finland: $0
Denmark: $0
United States: $9,596
When Republicans say it's OK to give billions in tax breaks to the top 1%, don't tell me we can't afford to make public college available for free.

According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2%
Let me put that another way.
President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%

A thing I really need people to keep in mind: 15% tariffs are high, historically speaking. 10% tariffs are high.
The average effective tariff rate before this term was just over 2%. Anything double-digits is high!

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries, no matter what Trump says.
A tariff is an import tax, raising the price of almost everything we buy.
Tariffs are also regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Today, a war criminal under indictment from the ICC will be welcomed to the White House.
Trump, like Biden before him, has aided and abetted the extremist Netanyahu government as it has systematically killed and starved civilians in Gaza.
It is a shameful day in America.

In the City of Newark, where he is mayor.
Here are the federal charging documents accusing Newark Mayor Ras Baraka of "trespassing" by walking onto private property...
... that belongs to a prison company...
... that contracts with the feds...
... and is therefore government property.

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed.
Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.
