2024-08-15 01:34:34

Today Trump refused to back away from his lie that Kamala Harris’ crowds were created by AI.
No, Mr. Trump, Harris’ massive crowds aren’t the product of artificial intelligence. They’re the result of actual intelligence.

2024-08-13 17:54:02

Last night was another reminder that when billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

2024-08-06 20:02:04

Democrats picked a former public school teacher for VP.
The GOP bans books.
Dems picked a union member as VP.
The GOP wants to gut unions.
Dems picked a VP who protected abortion access.
The GOP wants to take that access away.
I could go on...but the contrast is clear.

2024-08-05 23:49:05

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow and his family's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. See how this works?

2024-08-05 18:39:02

Justice Neil Gorsuch warned President Biden to "be careful" with Supreme Court reforms.
But Gorsuch sold property to the CEO of a law firm that regularly argues cases before the Court.
He never disclosed the buyer and he didn't recuse himself from cases.
Hello?

2024-08-01 01:49:04

The FTC and DOJ Antitrust Division under Biden-Harris have taken anti-monopoly action against corporate giants that have abused their market power.
They're also suing to block big mergers that would drive up prices.
Anyone who is against this is telling on themselves.

2024-07-31 22:32:07

Boar’s Head is recalling 7 million pounds of deli meat due to a listeria outbreak.
Who issued the recall to protect consumers? The USDA.
Who just released a budget proposal that cuts USDA funding? House Republicans.
Tells you everything you need to know about the GOP's agenda.

2024-07-30 19:49:04

Undocumented immigrants paid $97 billion in federal/state/local taxes in 2022.
They take on our most difficult and essential jobs while helping fund programs they can't even benefit from.
Remember this the next time Trump demonizes the undocumented or calls them "freeloaders."

Reminder: When you invest in the American people, the middle class expands, and the economy grows.
When you cut taxes on the rich, the rich get richer, and the gains don’t trickle down.
It’s that simple.

2024-07-28 20:02:04

Trump may be one of the most anti-worker presidents of all time.
-Loaded the NLRB with anti-union hacks
-Cut OT pay for 8 million workers
-Gutted workplace safety rules
-Made it harder for gig workers to get benefits
Don't buy the MAGA rebrand. Actions speak louder than words.

2024-07-27 21:05:03

Chipotle raised prices six times since 2021 and kept them high — even as costs have flattened.
The result?
Profits jumped 110%. It authorized $400M in stock buybacks. Its CEO was paid $22.4M in 2023...1,354 times the median Chipotle employee.
What's really driving inflation?

2024-07-26 20:02:03

How do we know that Lina Khan has done an excellent job as FTC chair?
Because billionaires and business leaders want her gone.
She's been an avid anti-trust enforcer and defender of working people.
She's also been an oligarch's worst nightmare.

Trump is Project 2025. It is his plan, written by people he hand-chose, to put every aspect of Americans' lives under MAGA control. I'll be releasing a video about it soon, but in the mean time, please read this.?

2024-07-07 00:06:06

2024-07-06 17:35:02

The Supreme Court has greenlit Trump's plan to be a "dictator on Day One." Here's what that could look like.

2024-07-02 17:41:04

So let me get this straight: The so-called "originalists" on the Supreme Court have essentially given the U.S. president the power of monarchs. Just days before the 4th of July, mind you. The hypocrisy is staggering.

2024-07-01 22:44:02

SCOTUS has ruled that presidents are essentially monarchs who can commit crimes, bribery is legal, federal regulatory agencies have no authority to keep us safe, and homeless people can be punished for being homeless.
Is it any wonder why public approval of this court is so low?

2024-07-01 18:01:34

Alito & Thomas violated SCOTUS' "code of ethics," which requires them to recuse from cases with even the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Alito flew 2 insurrectionist flags.
Thomas' wife tried to overturn the election.
If that's not the appearance of conflict, what is?

2024-07-01 00:08:33

Banning medical debt from credit reports.
Cracking down on junk fees.
Banning non-competes.
Capping credit card fees.
Negotiating drug prices.
Expanding OT pay.
These Biden policies don't make headlines, but this is what it looks like when government works for the people.

2024-06-30 22:31:05

It’s important to see the fall of the Chevron doctrine for what it is: a power grab by corporate interests, allowing them to shop for judges who will strip agencies of their power to protect the public.
What happened to the belief that SCOTUS had no role in legislating?

2024-06-30 22:04:04

The number one thing we should still be discussing from the debate is that Trump refused to rule out another January 6 attack.

2024-06-21 16:32:02

One of the richest men in the 1920s was Andrew Mellon — an early prophet of trickle-down economics.
Yesterday we learned that his grandson, Timothy Mellon, gave a Trump super PAC one of the largest political donations ever.
This is how dynastic wealth works.
Wealth tax now.

2024-06-21 01:00:33

The Biden administration has taken anti-monopoly action against:
-Amazon
-Apple
-Google
-Facebook
-Live Nation
-JetBlue
-Spirit
-Kroger
-Albertsons
We’ve had years of government forces working on behalf of corporations.
This is what it looks like when they work for the people.

2024-06-21 00:03:34

Billionaire Harlan Crow has spent over $13 million on federal politics since the 2010 Citizens United ruling.
That’s on top of the years he spent secretly dolling out free vacations to Clarence Thomas.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

2024-06-20 21:42:33

25 corporations pretending to honor Pride month have donated $18 million to anti-LGBTQ+ politicians since November 2022.
Ignore the marketing and follow the money.

2024-06-20 18:25:34

By withholding a ruling on Trump v. United States, the Supreme Court's far-right justices are effectively giving Trump the immunity he's seeking, making it all but impossible for him to face trial before the election for his efforts to overturn the election and his role in Jan 6.

2024-06-20 17:43:02

I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if a former president is immune from prosecution for inciting an insurrection to overturn an election. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!

2024-06-20 10:06:36

2024-06-20 02:02:02

Louisiana's GOP governor signed a law requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments.
Project 2025, developed by MAGA allies, has plans to infuse ‘Christian nationalism’ in a Trump second term.
Republicans are coming for the separation of church and state.

2024-06-20 00:11:03

With a heat wave shattering temperature records across the country, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

2024-06-19 21:09:02

Why are corporate CEOs cozying up to Trump?
Yes, the tax cuts — but it's not just that.
Biden is reviving anti-trust in a massive way, with lawsuits against Amazon, Apple, Ticketmaster, and many more.
Corporate execs are terrified of their monopolies being broken up.

2024-06-19 20:13:04

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans:
1940: 81%
1950: 84%
1960: 91%
1970: 72%
1980: 70%
1990: 28%
2000: 40%
2010: 35%
For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

2024-06-19 19:13:33

The DOT regulated junk fees. Airlines are suing.
The CFPB capped credit card fees. Banks are suing.
Medicare is negotiating drug prices. Pharma is suing.
The FTC banned noncompetes. Business groups are suing.
Corporate America can't stand government working for the people.

2024-06-19 17:48:04

Stock buybacks don't just line the pockets of CEOs and shareholders — they're dangerous.
Boeing failed to implement a $7B redesign of its 737 Max while spending that much per year on buybacks.
A dollar spent on buybacks is a dollar less spent to upgrade equipment and safety.

2024-06-19 00:08:02

Why are we talking about whether paying fast food workers a better wage will drive up the cost of a Big Mac instead of asking how much McDonald's CEO's $19.2 million salary is driving up the cost? Hello?

2024-06-18 21:06:33

The Biden FTC is on a roll.
It banned noncompete clauses.
It blocked the Kroger/Albertsons merger that would send grocery bills skyrocketing.
Now it's taking action against Adobe for allegedly trapping users in pricey subscriptions.
This is government working for the people.

2024-06-18 19:42:03

Boeing shareholders approved a $33M pay package for CEO Dave Calhoun, despite the company's major safety problems — which Calhoun is testifying about before the Senate today.
Calhoun is resigning by year's end. Guess what he gets then?
A $45 million golden parachute.
Unreal.

2024-06-17 16:26:03

A wildfire burns outside Los Angeles.
New England will face heat as high as 107° this week.
Florida neighborhoods are under water.
Meanwhile, Trump has called the climate crisis a "hoax" and has promised to roll back Biden's clean energy investments and "drill, baby, drill."

2024-06-15 22:41:33

Trump floated eliminating the federal income tax and replacing it with tariffs on imports.
This would lead to huge price hikes, which would hurt everyone but the wealthy.
Think the cost of living is high now? Just wait and see what happens if Trump gets another term.

2024-06-14 20:42:03

Your Flag Day reminder that Justice Samuel Alito flew not one, but two pro-insurrection flags at his homes.
Alito failing to recuse himself from Trump's immunity case and other Jan 6 cases tells you everything you need to know about the SCOTUS code of "ethics."
It's a sham.

It’s no secret why the top 100 donors have shelled out $508 million to Republicans for 2024.
Trump and the GOP are transparently doing their bidding.
Their top priority is to extend their deeply unpopular tax cuts for the rich.
It's all about padding their donors' pockets.

2024-06-13 10:05:10

Tickets for Trump’s private fundraiser with the Beverly Hills elite started at $5,000.
A photo with Trump cost $40,000.
Roundtable seating was $100,000.
Becoming an event chair cost $250,000.
It's clear who Trump works for — and it sure as hell isn't the working class.

2024-06-08 21:20:33

Trump's not running for office so much as running from the law.

2024-06-07 22:34:03

59 years ago today, Griswold v. Connecticut guaranteed the right to birth control.
Justice Thomas says the Supreme Court should "reconsider" that ruling.
And this week, 38 GOP senators voted against the Right to Contraception Act.
Republicans are coming for birth control.

2024-06-06 20:06:02

Rich donors are paying as much as $300,000 per person to attend a Trump fundraiser in San Francisco today. What do they expect in return for their money?

2024-06-06 02:01:32

Speaker Johnson is adding Scott Perry to the House Intel Committee.
Perry sought a pardon for his key role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. People who try to overthrow the U.S gov't don't belong in the House, let alone on the Intel Committee.

2024-06-05 22:58:33

All nine Republican senators running for reelection this year just voted against the right to contraception:
John Barrasso
Marsha Blackburn
Kevin Cramer
Ted Cruz
Deb Fischer
Josh Hawley
Pete Ricketts
Rick Scott
Roger Wicker
So much for the party of "freedom."

2024-06-05 17:08:03

Trump had been involved in 4,000+ lawsuits before he ever rode down that escalator in 2015. He's not in legal trouble because he's running for president. He's running for president to escape his legal trouble.

2024-06-03 17:17:03

The more Trump can tear down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.
This is why the billionaires who once disavowed him are quietly crawling back.
The ultra-rich will do anything to protect their wealth and power.
That includes destroying democracy itself.

2024-06-03 00:09:06

What will Trump’s conviction really mean? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-will-trumps-conviction-mean?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

2024-06-01 23:34:33

Billionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts.
As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”
Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.

2024-05-31 16:43:03

Where are the editorials calling for Trump to drop out of the race and allow Republicans to choose a non-felon as their nominee?

2024-05-26 20:05:32

Justice Samuel Alito flew not one, but two pro-insurrection flags at his homes.
Alito not being forced to recuse from Trump's immunity case and upcoming Jan 6 cases tells you everything you need to know about the SCOTUS code of "ethics" established last year.
Hint: It's a sham.

The Appeal to Heaven flag isn't just tied to Jan 6.
It's a Christian nationalist symbol.
Christian nationalists believe that the law of the land is not the Constitution, but instead the law of God as they interpret it.
Do you see the problem with Alito flying this flag?

2024-05-22 22:54:33

Trump keeps touting plans to deport millions of undocumented workers.
His vile attacks are as dumb as they are racist and xenophobic.
These people strengthen our communities, contribute to the economy, do essential jobs, and pay billions in taxes.
Don't fall for Trump's lies.

2024-05-22 19:22:33

Trump said that he's "looking at" policies that would restrict birth control access.
He of course later backtracked, but look at his record.
He made it easier for employers to remove birth control coverage from insurance plans.
His Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Hello?

2024-05-20 19:37:04

Trump's Mar-a-Lago trial should've started today, but the judge (whom he appointed) delayed it.
The Jan 6 trial should've been in March, but the Supreme Court's MAGA justices delayed that too.
If Trump was innocent, you'd think he'd want to clear his name before the election.

2024-05-20 16:04:34

When I was a mere clerk for the 1st circuit appeals court, I wasn't allowed to have a political bumper sticker for fear of creating even the appearance of bias on the court.
How can Justice Alito be allowed to rule on Jan 6-related matters after flying a pro-insurrection flag?

2024-05-17 21:06:02

The Brown v. Board ruling happened 70 years ago today.
The reversal of the Supreme Court’s previous “separate but equal” decision highlights how it’s possible to overcome bad SCOTUS decisions.
But it took years of activism from brave people to get there.
Keep fighting.

2024-05-10 21:20:33

Trump wants to:
Extend his tax cuts — which have made billionaires $2 trillion richer
Cut Social Security — which working people pay into for a lifetime
Would you like to keep your retirement money? Or would you like to gift it to billionaires?
That is your choice in 2024.

2024-05-09 20:29:34

Trump asked Big Oil execs to give him $1 billion for his campaign.
He promised lower taxes and a rollback of Biden's climate regulations and clean energy programs in return.
Trump is literally willing to take bribes in exchange for the destruction of the planet.
Be warned.

2024-05-09 01:42:04

Ron DeSantis signed a law that prevents municipalities in Florida from requiring that employers provide shade and water breaks for outdoor workers.
A study found that heat-related deaths in FL shot up by 88% between 2019 and 2022.
Folks, this is the GOP's vision for America.

2024-05-08 03:53:02

Call me crazy, but maybe presidents who get themselves indicted shouldn't have their criminal trials presided over by judges they themselves appointed.

2024-05-03 02:04:32

From 1978 to 2022, CEO pay grew by 1,209% while the typical worker's pay rose just 15%.
This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of average workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable than before.
They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

2024-05-01 20:17:03

Reminder that Amazon and Space X are fighting in court to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional.
This means the two richest men on earth want to dismantle the government agency that holds them accountable for union busting.
Nothing terrifies them more than worker power.

2024-04-30 22:08:03

The top 0.1% of Americans control $20 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% control $3.7 trillion in wealth.
Read that back.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

2024-04-28 00:04:33

I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if the president can incite an insurrection to overturn an election and maintain power. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!

2024-04-27 20:03:32

I know that it was overshadowed by Trump's lawyers arguing that presidents should be able to murder political opponents, but I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas hearing a case related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

2024-04-25 23:38:05

So far this week...
The FTC banned the use of noncompete clauses.
The DOL strengthened overtime rules.
The FCC restored #NetNeutrality.
The DOT expanded protections for airline passengers.
This is what it looks like when the government works on behalf of the people.

2024-04-16 19:05:03

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Yet Clarence Thomas didn't recuse himself from arguments today in a case about the January 6 insurrection.
How is this not a scandal of epic proportions?

2024-04-16 17:39:03

Excuse me but how is Louis DeJoy still postmaster general?
His destructive 10-year plan for the Post Office—slowing mail delivery, hiking prices for consumers, and speeding up privatization—is in full effect.
Hello?

2024-04-13 19:06:02

What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

2024-04-13 01:29:02

Remember: Most billionaires are not “self-made.” They’re made via a combination of inherited wealth, government subsidies, tax loopholes, labor exploitation, and policy failures. Can we stop perpetuating a myth that blames wealth inequality on the choices of everyday Americans?

2024-04-12 21:42:04

Between 1978 and 2022:
-Worker pay grew by 15%
-Top exec pay jumped by 1,209%
Major US CEOs are now paid 344 times more than their typical employees.
When I say corporate CEOs are exploiting labor, this is what I mean.

44 million Americans — including 13 million children — are food insecure.
Meanwhile, America's 813 billionaires are now worth a combined $5.7 trillion.
Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

Trump keeps telling the lie that he's being prosecuted "by Biden."
False.
Four different grand juries, made up of ordinary citizens, voted to indict him after reviewing substantial evidence that he had committed crimes. That's how the criminal justice system work

Funny how wealthy Americans will readily accuse Biden of “buying votes” with student debt forgiveness but had no issue with Trump signing massive tax cuts for themselves. Hello?

Billionaires don’t care that Trump wants to free Jan 6 insurrectionists.
They don’t care that he says he'll be a dictator on “day one.”
They don’t care that he calls opponents “vermin” to “root out.”
All they care about is more tax cuts.
This is why they've returned to Trump.

News flash: If you outlaw abortions, dictate what educators can teach in schools, and stop people from voting, you're not the party of "limited government."

According to the WaPo: “Donald Trump has privately said he could end Russia’s war in Ukraine by pressuring Ukraine to…cede Crimea and the Donbas border region to Russia.” Did we learn nothing from WWII and the danger of appeasement? Give an inch, he'll take it all.

In the last week, Trump has compared himself to Jesus and to Nelson Mandela on account of his perceived, alleged persecution by the legal system. Who’s next, the Dalai Lama? Joan of Arc? The man has zero shame.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

Student debt relief is good for everyone — not just those carrying it.
When Americans aren't buried in debt, they have more $ to contribute to the economy. They're more likely to start a business, buy a house, or start a family. And they're less likely to need gov't assistance.

In 2016 Trump pledged to ban abortion & punish anyone who gets one.
His various judicial picks voted to overturn Roe & ban mifepristone.
He's surrounded himself with sworn enemies of reproductive rights.
Whatever he's saying today, know that he will ban abortion given a chance

Trump's 2nd-term economic agenda would hurt workers & kids to help the rich. He wants to:
-Cut taxes more for the rich
-Defund the IRS so the rich can cheat
-End student loan forgiveness
-End overtime rules
-Slash school lunches
-Allow child labor
-Weaken unions
Be warned.

FYI, the lottery is a regressive tax disproportionately paid by the people who can least afford it, and little of the proceeds actually go to community funding.
We should fund community services by taxing the rich, not by conning working people into thinking they'll become rich.
