In a globally connected world, if you want to attract manufacturing to the United States, you have to invest in the workforce, enforce the rule of law without prejudice, invest in infrastructure and ensure every American can meet their full potential.

If Don puts our new jet on an Island in NY harbor on permanent display, this becomes a legit defense.
WATCH: Bessent equates #SwampForceOne ✈️ with the Statue of Liberty🗽 🤔

Great article in the Guardian Weekly about how people are more willing to take and demand climate action when they know many others agree. I bet defending democracy is the same! @theguardian.com

Strong agree with this. I'm sure it's not easy or pleasant to realize you got conned. Let's welcome people that do back to democracy.
I'm so here for the faFO and I told you so's, but honestly if we want to change minds, we might need to give the redeemable a safe space to land.

In my travels, I’ve witnessed grade school children speaking foreign languages, learning advanced mathematics, science, music, history, & critical thinking techniques. 🇺🇸s are erasing history, banning books, banning Free school lunches and imposing Evangelical Bible Studies. Our kids can't compete.

DEMOCRATS 📢 The base is growing because we’re pissed off. People who were never engaged before are showing up. If you’re not listening, you’re missing the moment.
1️⃣ Get out of DC. Your constituents have stories—hear them
2️⃣ Tell their stories—loudly

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
