Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 11h agoLast night's political earthquake in Michigan should make one thing very clear: it's time for Democrats to grow a spine and stop bending the knee to corporate donors.
$1.4B to deploy the National Guard into cities? On top of: -$1.5T for the Pentagon -$240B for ICE and CBP -$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet -$300M for Trump's ballroom -$100M for Trump's golf outings But nothing for working people.

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
