I feel compelled to post this banger of a clip showing Barbara Walters humiliate trump to his face, as a reminder to reporters: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT HIM CALLING YOU "DUMMY." This is outstanding. 👏👏👏

We can afford Social Security. We can not afford billionaire greed.

Our new polling shows that more than 90% of workers favor protections from AI for their jobs and privacy and trust unions to deliver over either political party. Workers are united and ready to fight for an AI future that works for them, not just big tech. aflcio.org/press/releases…

The anger over massive income and wealth inequality is NOT envy of billionaires’ yachts and jewelry. It’s that the working class is suffering. It's that seniors living in poverty die 9 years younger than the wealthy. Yes. We need an economy that works for ALL, not just the few.

“The ghost offices turn into closed offices, and it's all by design. The billionaires are hollowing out the Social Security Administration as an attack on our earned benefits.” – Alex Lawson, Executive Director, Social Security Works

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero. We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing. Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run. That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

It is time we bring down the cost of housing, healthcare, and child care. I'm proud to co-lead the Congressional Progressive Caucus’s New Affordability Agenda, so we can put money back in the pockets of Americans and uphold our promises to working families.

So tired of these hedge fund villains standing in the way of actual progress for the people.

Donald Trump is a failed business man who sees the Social Security system we built as a slush fund to gamble with. We must defend our earned benefits
