We didn't vote for President Musk, and the only way to vote against him is with our dollars and our attention.
I'm logging off the Musk-mobile for the final time today. You can find me over at Bluesky going forward. Hope to see you there! bsky.app/profile/ryanhuffman…
"There's no legislation that can bring those kids back." That's the same argument they made after Newtown.
Twenty kids died yesterday because we did nothing after the last school massacre. Now is our chance to stop the next one.

A once-in-a-century pandemic cannot be the only thing that slows mass shootings in this country. It’s time for leaders everywhere to listen to the American people when they say enough is enough.
While not as easy to wrap your head around as a $15 minimum wage (which we absolutely need!), these sorts of smart policies can be almost as effective at reducing income inequality
Wall Street churns on high-frequency trading—putting everyday investors at risk. @BrianSchatz, @SenWarren, and I plan to introduce a bill to impose a tiny fee on Wall Street transactions to lower volatility, cut income inequality and invest the $$ in economic opportunity for all.
Very excited for the new post-Madigan era in Illinois Democratic politics. We now have the opportunity to transform Illinois from a national laughingstock to a national leader. A sorely needed fresh start for our great state!
As the Democratic State Central Committeeman for #IL06 I am committed to voting for the candidate that is for transparency, inclusion, and diversity within the Democratic Party as we continue into this new era.

We still have so much work to do to fix this country. But on a day like today, I believe we can do it. #InaugurationDay 🇺🇸

Let's just be clear here: Literally all of this was obvious from the moment Trump came down the escalator: his contempt for democracy, his love of authoritarians and violence, and his utter unfitness.
And yet the entire GOP (with very few exceptions) went along with it.

I just want to note that in America, you don’t get to have one free coup attempt. That’s why we are readying Articles of Impeachment for introduction this Monday.

Can we please, for the love of everything we believe in, stop electing people that hate government. I wouldn’t go to a surgeon that hates surgery or a dentist thats repulsed by teeth. We need to start electing folks that believe good government works. #FridayThoughts

This is a thoughtful thread by @ezraklein. You don’t have to agree with all of it. But Maya Angelou once said in times or crisis, the nation needs thinkers. Rather than just screaming at each other, thoughtful reflection like this will make us a better democracy.

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.
Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.
We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

They would rather not have democracy than have to share it with people who are different from them.

Trump is directly responsible for this insurrection and violence. He needs to be removed from office immediately. It is the Constitutional responsibility of Vice President Pence and the cabinet to exercise the power granted them by the 25th amendment.
Ryan Huffman retweeted
Understand this: Donald Trump and his Republican enablers are trying to overturn the will of the people. They won’t succeed, but they are setting a dangerous precedent—and everyone who believes in democracy needs to speak out and say enough is enough.
Wish we were getting clear direction like this from more of our leaders.
Every time you decide to stay home instead of going out for non-essential activities you are helping beat this virus and getting us closer to returning to our normal lives!
So now that all that's over...
Stay. Home.
Seriously. Stay home.
If you can, work from home and eat from home and don't go hang out with people for a while. If you need stuff and can afford to, pay someone to bring it to you. Tip them exorbitantly.
It's very real out there.

Ken Griffin is awful in many ways, but he's a savvy investor. If you accept this report that he made $870 million in 2018, then the fair tax would cost him $26 million in a year like that. No wonder he's willing to spend $20 million to avoid paying it.

Billionaire financier Ken Griffin gives $20 MILLION to fight the graduated tax amendment.
The committee reported the contribution at 10 PM on Thursday night.

The police who shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times must be fired, arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Congress cannot wait any longer to act forcefully to end the horrific violence against Black Americans at the hands of police.

It's time for Mike Madigan to go.
Proud to join this list of over 50 Democratic leaders calling for him to step aside as Democratic Party of Illinois chair and Speaker of the House.
