I follow Robert Reich on Substack and I've been so inspired by him! Today I saw The Last Class and was more encouraged. Leaders are not born. Don't give in to cynicism. Find a showing near you at TheLastClassFilm.com

Trump's BLS pick EJ Antoni has said that Social Security, America's greatest anti-poverty program, is a "Ponzi scheme" that needs to be sunset.
Reminder that BLS data is what determines annual cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security benefits.
This is a five-alarm fire.

Inveterate liar calls on BLS leader’s head for publishing the facts. Disappointing and undermines America’s credibility in the world. What’s great about that?

Emails show that IRS chief counsel Andrew De Mello said a recent DHS request did not comply with the law.
Two days after refusing the demand to turn over more than 7 million home addresses, De Mello was pushed out of the top legal job.

War is not the answer ... NO KINGS is. Congress must reclaim its constitutional authority and stop this folly. A thin-skinned authoritarian acting 'strong' in the face of fierce attacks from the TACO folks is not the leader we need (or want).
Your elected officials need to hear from you. Urge your Members of Congress to reclaim their constitutional authority by supporting the war powers resolutions that would prohibit Trump from dragging us further into a disastrous war with Iran.
Tell Your Senators: No War With Iran
Trump has bombed Iran. Against the will of the American people, without a vote from Congress, and without any plan to protect American lives or deescalate the crisis, Trump unilaterally launched a mil...

If any D thinks they want to get $$ from someone who truly 'thought' he had bought an election then they are self-disqualifying as a candidate that represent the people. Getting rid of a despot is not best accomplished by becoming one.
The speed in which we have decayed into an open oligarchic kleptocracy is astounding

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.

Last year,Supreme Court created conditions for a president-cum-king. Now, the Vice President of this entirely lawless administration is, surprise surprise, saying it is illegal for judges to rule against any decision president makes. If such a position stands, it represents end of American Republic.
