REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The biggest ‘welfare queens’ in 🇺🇸 are corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes, and CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet — not hungry kids, or working parents who work multiple jobs.”

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.

Rob Reiner was more than an amazing movie director to me.
He was one of our strongest public advocates for @TheDemCoalition, part of our Impeachment Task Force.
He was one of America's foremost voices of reason and wisest defenders of democracy.
Rob is an American treasure.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.
