Late-stage capitalism, where a 99-year-old working fulltime at a fast-food chain is presented as a feel-good story.

Nine-year-old kids murdered by assault rifles, wealth inequality is at an all-time high and our healthcare system is a global punchline, but we're talking about Bud fucking Light because the far right's strategy is to flame the culture wars to keep people distracted from policy.

The conservative movement isn't a movement at all; it's a pyramid scheme. Invent cringe grievances and then market them to bigots and suckers.

The far right has now started a sick and twisted game of trying to tie every mass shooting to trans people. In this case, they are literally just using the fact that LinkedIn shows pronouns next to names. It's default info that you input right after your name when you sign up.

Instead of banning TikTok we need comprehensive legislation to ensure social media users' data is safe and secure.
Banning TikTok won't solve that problem, and I was proud to stand with some of the most incredible creators today.

That's right! Call your Member of Congress and ask them to support my bill with to make school meals universal!
Quote Tweet
There's a bill in Congress right now not getting enough attention.
The Universal School Meals Act would provide free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack to all school children.
This means the end of student meal debt, and fewer hungry kids.
Congress must pass this bill.

In American football, the team with the worst record every season is entitled to the first pick when college-football players are drafted into the league in the following spring. The system is socialism in action econ.st/3m3CgyO

John Fetterman being open about his depression and seeking help for it is a welcome departure from most politicians, who think the job requires being sleep-deprived androids and emotional zombies. Mandatory mental health treatment should be a Congress/White House requirement.

Nobody gives a damn about his Christianity.
His religion, which I share, has nothing to do with furthering false claims that schools have cat litter boxes, all as a way to attack marginalized teenagers.

Lot of hit pieces on Tony Dungy coming out in last 24 hours. All I can say is Coach Dungy is one of the most genuine, humble, and morally upright people I've ever met. There is not an ounce of hate in him. The only hate in these articles is the hatred of Christianity.

Hold on: House Republicans want a national 30% sales tax on everything from groceries to gasoline? They want to raise taxes on working-class & middle-class families while slashing them for millionaires & billionaires?
Are they TRYING to show exactly how out of touch they are?

I’m far left politically, yet love football, despite all its flaws. This is completely detached from reality. After all, NFL teams play in big cities that lean liberal, not small shitkicker towns.

Clay Travis claims that the left hates football because it is "hypermasculine," "violent," a "meritocracy," and "played almost exclusively by men."
Where's the evidence for the claim that the left hates football?

Sorry, but Dianne Feinstein needs to get out of the way. Credible reports have shown she is unable to perform her job at a high level. Glad Porter is pressing her. Feinstein is 89 and has been in the Senate for 30 years. Pass the torch to some new blood that is more in touch.

California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy.
Today, I'm proud to announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2024.

The top 1% possesses 10x more wealth than the bottom 50% of Americans. Economic fairness has become an afterthought in a society that weirdly worships billionaires. We need a wealth tax.
