Is it really that difficult to show a little respect, Bruce? Kamala Harris is our Vice President of the United States. A little patriotism wouldn’t hurt—but then again, it is the anniversary of January 6, 2021.

I’m not a “survivor.” I’ve never liked that way of looking at things. I spent two decades just surviving. No thanks. I’m a thriver.

Surviving is built into thriving; you can’t thrive if you haven’t survived. As a thriver, the focus is on something higher than pure survival.

Let’s THRIVE in 25!

So to clarify, the pediatric cancer research funding bill in the Senate that Republicans said never passed because of Schumer was actually held up by Rand Paul the entire time. Yet another lie.

My God! What a fucking vile monster!!!🤬
ONLY AN ABSOLUTE HORROR OF A HUMAN BEING WOULD DO THIS…

Republicans slashed $200 million for childhood cancer research—a program created with bipartisan support under Obama—from the CR bill.

Why? Because Elon Musk told them to.

Not one single penny.
We lead the fight to protect and expand Social Security, which is now more important than ever.

Trump ran on a promise not to cut Social Security. We don't trust him for one second. But we do plan to hold him accountable.

That means NOT ONE PENNY of cuts to our earned benefits.

Who's with us?

Trump's billionaire crony, Elon Musk, seems to have it out for #SocialSecurity. He amplified Sen. Mike Lee's falsehood-filled rant on X about seniors' earned benefits. Here is what Lee & Musk are getting wrong. READ MORE HERE: www.ncpssm.org/entitledtokn...

You may want to prepare yourself for the coming Trump administration by rereading George Orwell’s “1984” if it’s been a while.

Rampell: If you voted for Trump because you thought he was going to bring down the cost of housing, a lot of our lumber, cement, and other materials comes from Canada, which means that construction costs are going to go up

Like others, I fear the threat of government retribution, political vengeance and an angry right-wing mob. But I know that giving into it will only strengthen Trump and undermine the future of our democracy. Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up — gradually and then suddenly.
The Choices I’ve Made
From Marc | Since the election, media figures and outlets have followed suit — each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly.
