Republicans are helping banks rip people off and no one should be surprised. But if you don’t want this to pass in the House, call your member and tell them to put the interest of people over banks.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

Tariffs have thrown the auto industry into disarray, and workers on the Iron Range are paying the price.
I’ve been in touch with the union to make sure that laid-off workers are getting connected to the resources they need.

Trump's tariffs will negatively impact almost 300,000 Wisconsin jobs—the highest percentage of any state.
77% of those affected voted for the person creating this harm.

I voted against the horrible MAGA “continuing resolution” — a fake and partisan CR loaded up with executive power for Trump. I hated it. But respected colleagues voted otherwise, and not just to “cave in” versus “stand up.” 🧵

Democrats (and pundits) love a good family feud, but we’re in a battle for our democracy against dangerous forces, and every moment we spend quarreling amongst ourselves lets the other team score while we fight. It’s a luxury we cannot afford.

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
