Trump & his cabinet represent the wealthiest administration ever
they have no idea or care about those struggling with food, housing, medical care
Shame on them & their selfish greed -
goes for #republicans too

Today was a hard day. Regulations that we passed unanimously last year, after 7 years of advocacy, were largely gutted. The FCC capitulated to the correctional telecom industry in roughly doubling rate caps for prison and jail calls. I'm truly sorry.

People aren't as dumb as Republicans think. He's on an ego-tour of Asia, boycotting talks to end the shutdown, and cutting people off SNAP benefits even though there's $5B left in the contingency fund.

George Washington "learned the hard way that ensuring an armed force that reflects America is not simply the right thing do to do. It is also a vital pursuit to maintain our national security." Surely we can all learn from him. From the archives: www.thebulwark.com/p/why-george...
Why George Washington Integrated the Army
The commander-in-chief initially barred black soldiers from joining the ranks, but he came to understand the value—both moral and strategic—of a diverse force.

Republican Governors want to force feed the rotten, fascist, disgusting politics of TurningPoint USA to students in their states.

We won't let them. @votersoftomorrow.org is working to set up chapters in Florida, Oklahoma, and Indiana to actually educate students and fight back against TPUSA.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

Rachel Maddow and I discuss a shocking new move by the Trump administration: sending Department of Justice “poll monitors” — handpicked by Pam Bondi — to California and New Jersey just days before the November elections and why this poses a grave threat to free and fair elections.
