@marcelias.bsky.social, the great Democratic legal fighter for democracy, on me:
"We need more people like this guy in Congress…This guy's a fighter. And he's not just saying he's a fighter, he's got the receipts, because he has gone toe-to-toe with Donald Trump and the Republicans for years now...
ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary
Way more like this! Where are all the wealthy democrats who can buy media outlets (even spoofs)? Getting our voices out is crucial and it’s not happening on a big enough scale right now.
One year ago today, I met Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.
As I said from day one, this case was never about one man, it was about all of us. If they can deprive him of his rights, they can deprive you of yours.
One year on, they’re still trying but we’re still fighting.
How is it Trump's nominee for the IAEA, a key nuclear inspection agency, didn't know that both the IAEA AND Trump's 1st Admin certified that Iran was in compliance with the JCPOA?
The JCPOA was preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped it up & started a war.
Once again, Trump is threatening war crimes against the Iranian people.
All this could be avoided if Republicans in Congress joined us in voting to end this illegal and costly war.
We will give them another chance this week. They must all be held accountable.
In the early days of demented clowndom when I was engaging in conversations with those who voted him in, they really believed all this money the govt would “save” rooting out “corruption” meant lower taxes for them personally. Why don’t they see how badly they’ve been duped?
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
I’m reading this lawsuit Kash filed against The Atlantic. I’m struggling to find where they were wrong.
This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬
This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸
The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
You gotta give to the GOP.
They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

OPINION: "Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson. He is a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character." thehill.com/opinion/whit...
A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.
Market concentration → Less competition → Higher prices for consumers → Corporate profits at record highs → Record stock buybacks → Higher shareholder value → More power for corporations and the rich.
How do we fight back? Break up monopolies and rebuild union power.
This is the reason the stock market is completely disconnected from the real economy.
I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.
It's a disgrace.
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
Don't let anyone tell you that an area is too red or too far out of reach for our message.
Just look at how many people turned out on a Saturday night in April, in a gym in Oklahoma.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice is demanding that Wayne County, Michigan turn over its ballots from the 2024 election to investigate voter fraud claims. Michigan’s attorney general and secretary of state have responded saying that’s not going to happen. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars.
I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.
If you paid even one penny in federal income taxes on your income last year, then you paid more than Tesla.
Here's why.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.
In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.
