Workers are not asking to get rich. They just want to afford three meals a day.

In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should work for starvation wages.

It is time to raise the disgraceful $7.25/hr federal minimum wage to a living wage of AT LEAST $17/hr.

Our military is in chaos.

Our most sensitive national security intel isn’t safe.

Our adversaries are overjoyed.

Pete Hegseth has to go ASAP.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.

But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous. 

Courage is contagious.

It's textbook corruption - a company doesn't like that there is a free alternative to their product that helps Americans save money, so they give Trump cold hard cash and he goes to work to remove that free alternative.

An 89-year-old Holocaust survivor. A 93-year-old woman who never protested before. They're mad as hell at what Trump is doing to America, as they joined about 80 others in their senior complex in Haverford, Pa. for a "No Kings!" protest like no other

My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
In Haverford, 80-somethings and 90-somethings take to the road to protest Trump
They saw the Holocaust, WWII and Vietnam, and these senior protesters on Philly's Main Line have seen enough of Trump.

Democrats should be leveraging the 250th, especially next year's Independence Day anniversary, for the midterm elections. The language of resistance, rights, and freedom is tailor-made for the present moment. Embrace it!

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Because it bears repeating.

I am an American soldier. I am sworn to protect the constitution and the citizens of the United States.

As a member of the US military, I want to let you know this. I am sworn to protect _YOU_ and I know what an illegal order sounds like.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Former GOP political operative Steve Schmidt nails it - or as former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney famously said:

"To my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a time when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain.”
