Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

In just a month, 10,000 people in MA dropped their health insurance. That's 2x more than last year.

10,000 mommas, grandpas, aunts, neighbors, and friends who looked at their bill and said "I can't do this."

Because Republicans won’t lift a finger to lower health care costs.

Millions of Americans are about to see their healthcare costs skyrocket, and Republicans in Congress just let it happen. Extending ACA credits should've been the easiest decision in the world.

There is oversupply of soybeans worldwide.

Brazilian soybeans are lower price than US soybeans.

I'm no farming expert but it sure sounds like farmers need to diversify the crops they grow.

ICE RAIDS ON IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORS IN CHICAGOLAND SHOW EXACTLY WHY THESE AGENCIES HAVE TO GO. FAMILIES DESERVE SAFETY AND DIGNITY, NOT MILITARIZED HARASSMENT. SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE STANDING UP TO PROTECT THEIR COMMUNITY. ABOLISH ICE AND FUND PEOPLE. #CHICAGOPOLITICS

Governor,Trump was a civilian when he faked an assassination attempt that led to the death of two people. You need to order an investigation into this staged murder. There is no statute
of limitations and he is a murderer.

Anyway, if you're surprised at all about the SCOTUS decision, remember

- Bush v Gore chose the president on such nakedly partisan grounds they put in the opinion that it couldn't be used as future precedent

- Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito & Barrett all served on W's election legal team
