Congress’ failure to renew the Child Tax Credit showed that poverty is indeed a policy choice. But it’s the false narratives around people in poverty that enable those harmful choices to be made. My thoughts in @CalMatters today: calmatters.org/commentary/202…

These fucking grifters will look us dead in the eye and say the single mother on food stamps is a moocher and the immigrant down the road is stealing welfare money, and then spend billions on lobster dinners. They are horrific fucking liars and thieves. They need to pay back what they STOLE from taxpayers

It’s funny many people claimed that the party endorsement for LG was a done deal. I guess not! Congrats to team ⁦@MichaelDTubbs⁩ for a helluva effort!

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

The arrest of Don Lemon is another blatant attack on the First Amendment and should set off alarms to everyone — regardless of party. Freedom of the press is a cornerstone of our democracy — keeping the public informed without government censorship. Don Lemon should be released.

"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules & values for the unhindered pursuit of their power & interest, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate" -- Carney's speech at Davos is an extended criticism of the damage Trump is doing (though he's not mentioning his name)

CARNEY: "We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy."

Let us eliminate hatred from our hearts.

This is a sick man.
