Voters have had it with the politicians who have helped maintain the status quo. They want fighters who will get Big Money out of our politics and go to the mat for working people. More of this, please.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 2d ago🔥 Rep. (retired Major) ojeda (D-NC): “We need to all come together and elevate the lives of the 🇺🇸 people. Put money in the pockets of the working class… I didn’t come here to become a millionaire, I came here to teach these people who the hell they work for.” What authentic leadership sounds like👇🏽
BREAKING: The New York City Council just approved a ban on surveillance pricing. The measure passed 44-5, and Zohran Mamdani is expected to sign the bill. Companies will no longer be able to charge different prices based on algorithms or New Yorkers’ personal data.
Scott Colom achieved what once seemed impossible. Not only has he won, but Mississippi has won. America has won. And so to have the civil rights activists who gave their lives for this moment — including Medgar Evers, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, & my friend Mickey Schwerner.
While we’re talking about CEOs... Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
“Chuck Schumer! Step off it! Put people over profit! Free Palestine!” Young folks arrested sitting in @SenSchumer’s office (From @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social )
Schumer insists with his usual heavy hand that he has the majority leader position locked up and others must back down. Now Van Hollen enters the lists, with a slew of instant endorsement. Schumer may win, but it's clear that none of his fellow senators view him as an inspirational leader.
Van Hollen launches challenge to Schumer for Senate majority leader
The Maryland senator says Democrats need a new strategy and a new leader, even after a midterm wave that gave the party a large majority in the upper chamber that few saw coming.

This is a message for Donald Trump. Donald, this is on the table. Guarantee healthcare for every American, from cradle to grave.
Trump's attempts to harass and strip the citizenship of one of his fiercest political opponents in Congress is fascism, pure and simple If his thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you too. I stand with Ilhan Omar.
Expecting an apology from all you idiots who say President Trump didn't do anything after being warned that the CEO of NVIDIA was literally in bed with a Chinese spy. See? He *did* take action to protect what was important to him.

James Talarico: We’ve elected 55 senators in our country. We are within striking distance of a supermajority, and a supermajority requires a super agenda. We must deliver bold relief during this affordability crisis. We must heal the deep spiritual corruption at the root of all of these crises.
James Talarico: "In Texas, we go big, or we go home. And that's exactly what we did last week. We won big…We went up against the richest man in the world, and we won…It was a win the size of Texas."

I'm with Joe. And that means with Senator Van Hollen. He's a much better choice for leader in every respect. And whether he wins or not, he will establish himself as leader of Democrats who truly seek change...which has many long term benefits for the party and his role within it.
Joe Cirincione@joecirin.bsky.social · 11h agoBREAKING! @vanhollen.senate.gov just announced on @jenpsaki.bsky.social’s show that he is challenging Schumer for majority leader. Chris is a genuine hero. He is just what the nation needs to meet this moment. I would help him in any way to help him win this battle.

The lesson of the Jensen Huang scandal is not simply that powerful tech-industry leaders are fallible—it is that we need institutions capable of checking their influence and holding them to account, Julian Gewirtz writes. theatln.tc/ORof7C8j
You can't afford to be left behind. Everybody is doing it. You need to start having an affair with Jensen Huang. Or your competitors will.
I am thinking tonight about Vera Mae Pigee. Her business, Pigee’s Beauty Salon, in Clarksdale, was a meeting point for Black Americans to strategize. She was arrested multiple times. Her home was bombed. She orchestrated a two-year boycott of segregated businesses in downtown Clarksdale. Thank you.
