New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I’m not in the mood to be lectured on how the weak ass Senate Democrats (who betrayed ALL the voters who gave them a MASSIVE cushion to #HoldTheLine) had no choice but to cave & give in w only a worthless promise from Republicans.
GTFOH w that! 🖕🏻🖕🏻

last year I watched an elderly man sneak a grape into his mouth at the store
he only had a few basic things in his cart & looked longingly at the grapes - could not afford them so he snuck a single grape
I saw him & he saw me see him. He looked ashamed
I gave him a huge eye smile & took a grape

I really like Bernie Sanders’ elder statesman era.
Unlike too many older politicians who cling to power and perpetuate an outdated political culture, Bernie is actively mentoring the next generation of progressive leaders before he retires.
It’s how it should be.
And it’s working.

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

GOP: No ACA extensions without abortion restrictions.
It's what happens when you're in a minority position with good leverage & surrender it all to accept the vaporous promise of notorious liars.
Thanks @schumer.senate.gov. You got played like a fiddle. A very out of tune fiddle.
