We will pay billions for war, while millions continue to lose healthcare. While millions go hungry. While millions struggle to afford housing and end up homeless.

But that's the point. Trump is starting a war to deflect from his incompetence.

Congress has to reclaim its power and stop this war.

Trump is an insane liar who has now started another illegal war that the American people do not want.

Trump killed civilians, including schoolchildren, without justification. Many more will die, and Americans will pay billions for the carnage.

.@gavinnewsom.bsky.social... Not only do we need to abolish ICE, we need to prosecute ICE agents and government leadership for their crimes.

AIPAC is going to spend $2.8 million dollars on Melissa Conyears-Ervin’s race for the IL-07 congressional seat.

Here is my official statement.

AIPAC is about to spend millions in #IL07 in support of Melissa Conyears-Ervin, the current Chicago City Treasurer who was fined $70,000 last year for misusing city funds and firing whistleblowers.

This is pure corruption. But this district is not for sale.

The ICE agents that killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti have not and will not be arrested for murder.

But after a judge initially declined a warrant, DOJ officials went to the ends of the earth to arrest journalists.

The DOJ is an arm of this fascist regime.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the 6 million Jewish people, and millions of others, who died at the hands of hatred and tyranny.

As we face the specter of fascism once again, their memory reminds us that we must fight for a better world.

How many more people will we watch be murdered by ICE agents before our leaders actually do something about it?

We have to defund and abolish ICE now. And we have to prosecute the agents and officials who allow and encourage this horrifying and criminal behavior.

JD Scholten has been an unmatched champion for taking on the Big Ag monopolies that hurt farmers and drive up costs at the grocery store.

I'm proud to have his endorsement and to fight alongside him for an economy that feeds people, not corporate profits.

It is up to us to see that the vision that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had for this country be realized.

Abolish ICE. Prosecute ICE agents. Prosecute Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino.

You can't reform the SS.

ICE is terrorizing our communities and murdering people in broad daylight. These officers and the government officials who enable them must be held accountable.

Trump illegally declared war in Venezuela and kidnapped a world leader, putting troops and lives in peril, to distract from endless news cycles about how corrupt and incompetent he is.

He is grasping power like so many despots, and the worst American presidents, do: war for oil.

This year, the Grinch doesn’t look familiar at all. He’s orange, and old, and his heart’s three sizes too small

Trump’s reckless trade wars are jacking up prices just in time for the holidays. As families struggle to get by, he has the nerve to call the affordability crisis a β€œhoax"

So let's get this straight:

Paramount owns CBS.

Paramount needs Trump's support to buy Warner Bros. Discovery.

So CBS kills a story about how the Trump Administration is sending human beings to be TORTURED.

Media consolidation and monopoly power embolden fascism.

There are few figures in the American politics as clear-eyed on fighting corruption and corporate power as Zephyr. She has dedicated her life to taking our democracy back from oligarchs and returning power to the people. I’m proud to be in this fight with her, and I’m honored to have her endorsement
