You literally canceled $1,900,000,000,000 in tax cuts for the rich. You should sit this one out.

Democrats' student loan socialism is a slap in the face to working Americans who sacrificed to pay their debt or made different career choices to avoid debt. A wildly unfair redistribution of wealth toward higher-earning people.

American democracy is in a profound crisis, riven by lies, right-wing extremism, conspiratorial thinking, and subservience to corporate and special interests, and racism. What just happened in Tennessee is yet another reminder of the perilous state of our country. 1/6

CEO Koji Sato announced a new EV strategy that’s just above better than nothing... Once again, Toyota missed an opportunity to meet the urgency of the climate crisis. 😑 We need more from this global auto giant. 🧵👇

Call the expulsion of Rep. Justin Pearson and Rep. Justin Jones, two Black Tennessee state house members, what it is: racism.

Assisted-living homes are rejecting Medicaid and evicting seniors

Ignoring kids who don’t want to die in their schools wasn’t enough. The Tennessee House GOP voted to expel the two black members who stood with those students calling on their elected officials to protect them. Their expulsion is a disgusting action, and it is anti-democratic.

Residents who drained their nest eggs to cover private-pay rates have been evicted after turning to Medicaid to pay their bills.

Our health care system is an abomination.

Action on Predatory Private Equity in Health Care 'Needed, Stat'

Increased private equity takeovers have come with shocking lapses in safety, with prices rising faster than at non-private equity acquired entities, while patients have been subjected to price...

This is insane. Corporate vultures are buying health care companies and maximizing profits by any means necessary. Residents in nursing homes are 10% more likely to die in facilities owned by predatory takeover firms. Why aren’t more people talking about this?

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today former U.S. President Donald Trump was arraigned in New York on 34 felony counts for falsification of…

Trump is accused of falsifying business records to conceal information that could have been damaging to him in the 2016 election. In New York, falsifying business records is a crime. When it’s done with the intent to commit fraud and conceal another crime, it’s a felony.

Nelson Mandela fought for racial equity and ended apartheid in South Africa. He died a hero. Trump incited a violent insurrection. MTG wants to make him a martyr. They are not the same.

Buy-now-pay-later firms, student loan collectors, payday lenders: corporations like these have long used take-it-or-leave-it terms & conditions to force customers to sign away their rights. But there's good news on the horizon: the Biden Administration is taking action. (1/3)

There’s overwhelming evidence that Trump has committed various crimes in New York and elsewhere. No one is above the law. No celebrity. No politician. And certainly not Donald Trump. Read

Basic accountability for Trump’s actions is not “political persecution” It’s called the law.

Trump’s indictment does not “divide our country”. Allowing a former president to evade accountability after breaking the law divides our country.

When Trump rolled back banking standards, he put the entirety of our financial system at risk. We need banker pay reform.

Preventing the next banking collapse absolutely requires a financial regulatory system that is capable of detecting instability and acting to prevent it from spreading.

PSA: Silicon Valley Bank’s CEO sold $2.2 MILLION worth of stock right before the crash. Behind all banker misconduct is a paycheck.
