If Trump were presiding over 3.9% unemployment, 3% inflation, wages up 5% over the last 12 months, and the Dow up 17.5% over the last 12 months…

…he’d call it The Greatest Economy in the History of the World.

(Anyway, that’s where we’re at right now under Biden)

This terrible ruling further guts the Voting Rights Act & makes it easier for states like South Carolina to take power away from Black voters. And it comes from a justice who flies a flag of election denial at his home. Another stain on the Supreme Court. americanprogress.org/press/statemen…

One of the most unsung accomplishments of ⁦President Biden⁩ Biden has been the elevation of more brilliant women and people of color onto federal benches to create a court system that represents America.

A truly great accomplishment. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

When it comes to building the biggest, baddest, boldest, darkest, queerest, hippest gym shoe-wearing labor movement the world has ever seen, who will lead the charge?

What a thrill and honor to be at the ⁦SEIU⁩ convention as ⁦Mary Kay Henry⁩ delivers her last address as president - a historic run with victory after victory for workers at the contract table, in the fight for civil rights, and dignity. SI se puede!

Cassie’s physical wounds may have healed, but the mental & emotional trauma suffered at the hands of Sean Combs left irreparable damage. She lived through his abuse, & was ridiculed once she built the courage to speak up! I can’t imagine the torment & torture she’s endured.

President Biden is right to hold transfers of bombs that the Netanyahu government has used to kill civilians.

Thank you Rep. Gregory Meeks for saying plainly what this common sense decision is about: saving civilian lives and upholding U.S. policy interests and obligations.

Great news! President Biden Biden's rule guaranteeing you an automatic cash refund if the airline significantly delays or cancels your flight is now LAW.

I fought hard for this, because making customers jump through hoops to get refunds is just plain wrong.

And people who caught hell to get basic rights in America “paved the way” for Cardi B to have the privileges she enjoys while she’s out here telling people not to vote. Taking a pass on this one.

If Trump wins, and a couple Supreme Court Justices retire, and he gets to replace them…the Supreme Court will be ultra conservative for the rest of our lives.

there’s way more at stake than just “the president”

I don’t know what’s more insane: That this is a sitting Justice of the Supreme Court, or that this story was buried for over three years

And, Justice Alito blames his wife. nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/…
