64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving.
Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups.
Despicable. No…

Trump may not know whether he has to uphold the Constitution during his presidency, but hundreds of Vermont lawyers do know.
I congratulate them, and thousands of lawyers throughout the country, who are fighting to uphold American democracy and the rule…

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty.
It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon.…

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions.
There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions.

I am delighted that Mohsen Mahdawi has been released from detention.
Expressing a political opinion about the war in Gaza is not a crime.

Mohsen Mahdawi was released on bail today from his illegal detention at the hands of the Trump administration. Good.

We cannot allow Trump and his cronies to turn the United States of America into an authoritarian society in which people can be disappeared for their…

The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive.
The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right.
The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.…

Congratulations to Bill Owens and Scott Pelley of CBS for standing up for the Constitution and the First Amendment.
Trump, and his lawsuits against CBS and other media, must be strongly resisted. Paramount (which owns CBS) must not give in to Trump’s…
