Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I know consultants tell Dems to only talk about affordability but it seems like you ought to be able to get voters to care about elementary schools being bombed & people being shot in the streets as Trump pardons thieves, drug dealers & violent criminals while grifting billions.

Donald Trump made more than $2 billion last year while lying that affordability issues are a hoax and prices are going down. Never in American history has a man exploited the White House for such corruption and self-enrichment.

Americans’ personal savings rate has dropped to one of its lowest levels in 15 years. Household debt is at a record high. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which aren't keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, corporate profits are at a record high. The system is rigged.

Democratic voters prefer politicians who are ready, willing and able to fight. Where incumbents fail that test, voters will look to replace them with politicians who will actually fight. That's it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

This is the single most alarming thing I’ve seen yet from RFK Jr. He is attempting to get identifiable medical records from ALL OF US. “Under the proposal, HHS would get data from 90% of the population’s medical records by 2028”. This CANNOT be permitted to happen.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Trump said that repairs to the DC Reflecting pool would cost $1.8 Million. Now? The price tag is $13.1 million. The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract for the project after previously working on pools at Trump's properties. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

Note that women overwhelmingly kill their partners to escape their abuse, while men overwhelmingly kill their partners because a) the partners want to escape them, b) they want to marry someone else without loss of money/property/control of offspring, or c) both the above.

"According to statistics compiled by the ACLU, women who kill their partners will spend an average of 15 years behind bars, while men who kill their female partners serve much shorter sentences, on average between 2 to 6 years."

The Trump admin has quietly lifted sanctions on at least 145 individuals and companies. Many appear to benefit corrupt officials and well-connected allies. Congress should demand answers, write @adamofkeith.bsky.social and Amanda Strayer of @humanrightsfirst.org:

Dubious Delistings: Unexplained Sanctions Removals & Corruption

Targeted sanctions once signaled U.S. commitment to accountability, but recent policy shifts raise concerns about weakened oversight.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
