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.

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.

“Hospitals in NH are driving up costs for patients … through the use of ‘facility fees.’ When hospitals acquire independent doctor’s offices, they start charging these extra fees, even though the care remains the same.” #NH https://t.co/sJiX7CCmhJ

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!

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. https://t.co/42CM6j9KrT

The Board meets tonight at City Hall at 6 pm. If you can't be there in person to make your voice heard, you can email your Alderman at

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.

Students experiencing poverty, or learning English, need MORE resources, not less. Cutting the school budget hurts not just students and teachers, but the entire city.

... with limited English proficiency (more than 2,100, which is more than 1/3 of those students in the ENTIRE STATE). (Data from https://t.co/mRcn1fmfn2)

This is a district whose per-pupil spending is already the 6th LOWEST in the state, while having the MOST students in the state (by almost 1,400) eligible for free and reduced lunch (which is a reasonable proxy for student poverty), and the MOST students in the state ...

If the Board of Mayor & Alderman passes that budget, the district will have to make major cuts, including 38 school positions and more than $300,000 in transportation costs.

Manchester Mayor Jay Ruais has proposed a budget $9.5M less than the Board of School Committee's proposed budget. #NHPolitics

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?
