Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts. #NoKings

Every elected Democrat - not just in California but nationwide - should be on TV and radio today telling this story to the American people and condemning Trump’s DHS agents for trying to round up first graders in elementary school.
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes & unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had "parental consent." They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This was a test run for a police state.

You can’t redirect tax money to a private trash company because you don’t like the municipal waste contract. And you certainly don’t get a government check to buy a car just because the bus schedule doesn’t suit you.

Ben Light's father died at 58. As his 60th birthday approached, to mark the day with joy instead of sadness, he did what he thought his dad would have done — go to Wrigley Field & watch the Cubs. kickstarter.com/projects/ext…

Those few extra innings he got with his dad began a tradition that has inspired others to find ways to stay connected to loved ones they've lost. Now we're making a documentary to share the story & help people navigate grief. Check it out and support the Kickstarter if you can!

I get that every budget requires tough decisions. But as the saying goes, a budget is a moral document. Cutting school funding says we don't value our kids and we don't value our future.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

The first step of any meaningful pursuit is to severely underestimate its difficulty.

We knew it, but seeing the data laid out – it's still shocking: higher taxes for most, deep cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all to fund tax breaks for the top 1%. It's difficult to fully grasp the scale of the con being perpetrated on Americans right now by the Trump administration.

What is the rationale for this other than making life more difficult for many seniors?
