SCOOP: Turns out the longtime housing rights activist our mayor accused of treating him like a plantation owner would (because she asked him a strongly-worded question) is.... an 84 year-old Holocaust survivor. forward.com/fast-forward/552536/eric-adams...Mostrar mais

Senator Mike Gravel, my friend, was finally laid to rest at Arlington Cemetery on 6/20/2023. I made this video to commemorate the event. In true form, Mike requested for there not to be a gun salute, as he maintained his anti-violence stance to the very end. RIP King.

I am proud to be reintroducing Medicare for All with my colleagues in the House and Senate to once and for all guarantee health care as a human right.

New Odd Lots! We’re used to thinking of economic development as a line that’s almost always going up over time. But on this episode, @TheStalwart & I speak with @humford and @davideoks, who argue that much of the world economy has been going in reverse. www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-17...Mostrar mais

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside…Mostrar mais

This is a real image from this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference.

An area that the Japanese have really led on is public transportation. We got to tour the Bullet Train (Shinkansen)! I’m a huge rail stan and the entire operation blew my mind.

I was pleased to meet today with former leader of the Labour Party @jeremycorbyn and his colleagues at the @ProgIntl and the @corbyn_project. I look forward to working together to build international solidarity toward a future that works for all people.

Brazilian January 6th is literally happening right now. Bolsonaro supporters storming Congress.

Most emerging markets have not found an engine of durable growth comparable to manufacturing. Thus most “developing” countries are in a worse structural position than they were a few decades ago: less economically complex and more socially unstable. americanaffairsjournal.org/2022/11/the-lon...Mostrar mais

Warnock Wins!

Full sellout from the White House for the majority of rail workers who rejected the deal the President brokered, preemptively denying them the right to strike. This was the “which side are you on?” moment, and the White House chose the railroad bosses. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statement...Mostrar mais

Mike Gravel calling Biden, Obama and Hillary Clinton warmongers right to their faces in 2008. Still a classic 🔥

Florida is a red state now. Let’s lift the embargo on Cuba.

This is way better than anyone expected.

Fetterman triumphs. A good night.

It's official. I will be the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. We bet on the people of Pennsylvania - and you didn’t let us down  And I won’t let you down. Thank you.

I am Congressman-Elect Maxwell Alejandro Frost and I will be the first member of Generation-Z in the United States Congress. WE MADE HISTORY!!! Don’t count young people out.

AIPAC stay losing!

Seriously: go vote against Republicans today. It matters.

If young people and working people come out to vote in strong numbers today, we can win this election. Let's get this done. No matter where you live, make sure you vote. And while you’re at it, bring two or three of your friends or family members to the polls as well.

THANK YOU PHILADELPHIA! We've got two days left until the midterm elections. It's going to be close. In the next few days, I am asking you to do everything you can to help us get out the vote.

This tweet gets funnier with every passing day.

PragerU once again confirming they would rather have “capitalism” than a livable planet.

Lula’s triumph is one of the greatest victories for democracy in the world. It’s extremely important that America make sure Bolsonaro does not attempt a coup to cancel the results.

Democracia.

BREAKING 🇧🇷: Lula da Silva will be the next president of Brazil.

This one really aged well
