The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.
Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.
In Denmark:
- Health care and college are free.
- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.
- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
- All workers get pensions.

This executive order isn’t about election integrity—it’s about voter suppression. Purging voter rolls, restricting mail-in ballots, and tying voter ID to a biometric database are all dangerous attacks on our democracy.

Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza.
That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.
Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

Right now, we have an authoritarian president.
He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts.
Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
