  1. Go UAW! Thank you to the unions for trying to close the wealth gap that has been destroying our nation for decades. Yours in solidarity.

  2. Imagine Kinzinger and Duncan reviving the GOP. I would like to suggest that they truly go back to the roots of this progressive party. Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt the trust buster, Fiorello LaGuardia, all Republicans, all progressives. For now, see you in November!! September for early voting. 🗽⚖️ 💙🌊💙🌊⚖️🗽

  3. Happy birthday, President Carter. Thank you for renewing our souls after the Watergate mess. Thank you for habitat for humanity. Thank you. 99 years young!! Happy birthday! Have two cupcakes!

  4. Adams, worst mayor ever. I voted for the guy, but he has been a gigantic disappointment. Can't handle housing, no plan for affordable housing for NYers, no plan for immigration resettlement, although NYC has been handling immigration for over one hundred years. Cannot wait to vote him out. He's only interested in kissing up to real estate interests so they will fund his next campaign. There are thousands of empty warehoused housing units, Adams, and you know it. Supervise your real estate buddies, and find another city. NYC is so done with this guy. You, sir, are the crisis. 🗽

  5. Support the workers. Period. Their money gets spent back into the economy. The CEO money gets squirreled away. Stock buybacks don't help your town build small businesses, get better healthcare, etc. Supporting workers helps all of us.

  6. edwardsavela: absolutely, unions created prosperity in the 50s. Since the 80s, the pursuit of "trickle down economics" has created a dangerous wealth gap. More than overdue to fix the mistakes and go back to a model that we know can work for working class people.

  7. Strong reminder that business fraud is important, especially in NYC the home of the stock exchange and other elements of our financial infrastructure. Also overdue to have more oversight of the NYC real estate industry to reduce rents and warehousing of apartments. Remember that the next caee is primarily a case about falsifying business records. Reducing fraud in business, I'm for it. Huzzah!

  8. Imagine if we had updated immigration legislation, instead of trying to make legislation from the 1980s fit the realities of 2024. Thank you, President Biden, for doing your best. Congress, can you do your best? Speaker Johnson? No? The dear leader won't allow you to do your job?

  9. I hope we can continue to utilize President Biden's amazing talent for getting legislation across the finish line. I hope he can at least put some bills in draft before the end of his term: SCOTUS reform, affordable housing, rental caps, corporate greed. Please, let's do this carefully. So much of this has 1968 vibes. No more party splits, no more Nixon mistakes. 💙🌊

  10. The interview with Representative Dingell was very helpful. One of the things auto workers gave up in 2008 while trying to help save these mismanaged auto companies was their Cost of Living Adjustment. Therefore, they have been going backwards for over a decade. The auto companies are doing very well now. It's time to restore the cost of living adjustment (COLA) and provide wage increases that match the bounty the CEOs have been enjoying. That's only fair. Period. These companies owe a debt to these workers, pay your debt. Period. Yours in solidarity. 🗽

  11. Can't wait to see what those cars look like once the CEOs roll up their sleeves and try to build them by themselves. Lol Would you drive a car built by a CEO? Solidarity with UAW all the way.

  12. Rest in Power President Carter. We were lucky to have you. Thank you for the Camp David Accords, and all of your post presidential humanitarian works, plus international election oversight. Thank you, thank you.

  13. Strike=short term pain for long term gains in a better contract. That's what union strike funds are for. Yes, it will be hard. That's why workers deserve to be compensated fairly. Workers do the hard things when they have to.

  14. These officers were involved in hand to hand combat in close quarters in many cases exposed to chemicals like bear spray. One officer after that kind of exposure died the next day.

  15. Because the USA is driven by consumer consumption, part of the reason that consumer confidence is measured constantly, yes, working class and middle class spending does impact our economy. I'm glad that you have deep pockets and greater savings reserves. However, workers deserve to eat too.

  16. Thank you, Eleanor Roosevelt, for the United Nations! 🌍🗽🌎

  17. Thank you UNICEF for speaking for the children. Thank you.

  18. You do realize that JFK Jr died in a plane crash with his wife and sister in law.

  19. Why was the piece on learning loss and teacher vacancies shoved in there as an afterthought? The condition of our public schools nationwide is a major story, an existential threat to democracy. A democracy depends upon well educated citizens.🗽

  20. Thank you for that earlier photo of President Zelensky visiting former president trump. The look of disbelief and near disgust on President Zelensky's face: "Who is this guy? How is this guy the president that I have to try to negotiate with? What is going on." Vote carefully, everyone. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  21. 18:40 Please remember that Iranian funds released to Iran under the supervision of another country's banking authorities (I believe it is South Korea) those funds can only be released for food, medicine or other humanitarian purposes. Giving Iranians the ability to eat should not be troubling to anyone. Then we can get back to work on repairing difficult diplomatic agreements that the pumpkin headed grifter dismantled.

  22. Thank you for mentioning Haiti, a country within our hemisphere. Yes, Haiti is forgotten too often. Let's step up.

  23. Netanyahu is not Israel. The Israeli electorate voted netanyahu out not long ago, but he bounced back in a parliamentary coalition. The Israeli electorate will speak in their next opportunity to vote. In the meantime, ceasefire, or humanitarian pause if you like those words better, whatever it takes to save the lives of innocent children. 🗽🌍🗽

  24. Vote Abbott out. This horror happened on his watch. He was proud to sign several bills to soften Texas gun laws even further. He said that Texas would be a gun sanctuary state. Good job Abbott. Texas, please do the nation a favor and vote him out in November.

  25. Wow, you guys, focus. Like children fighting in church while the pastor scowls at your mother. Focus. This is a tribute to Sandra Day O'Connor. Stop embarrassing her memory with your nonsense. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  26. Can't help but think that some people don't like Ms. Harris because she is a prosecutor and a strong woman of color. It's still a view of womanhood that too many people are uncomfortable with. These might be some of the same people who don't like Fani Willis in GA or Leticia James in NYS. Go Fani, go Leticia, go Kamala. ⚖️💙⚖️

  27. I sometimes wonder if the withdrawal could have been less chaotic if our military and State Dept had not been up against that horrible surrender agreement with date certain that Pompeo gave to the Taliban. Smiling photo op with known terrorists. Just disgusting. As it is, I think they were able to get the date changed from May to August, but that surrender agreement made lots of things even harder. Whatever else we did there, for 20 years women went to work and girls went to school. Let the Afghan diaspora never forget their sisters in Afghanistan. Hoping for better for them...🗽🌻🌎🌻🗽

  28. If the Democrats can regain the House majority again (only a few seats needed, very doable), we can get legislation done again. Vote. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  29. Yes, I like Jeffries, but I despise the interviewer. It's getting to the point that I can hardly stand the sound of her voice. Yuch. She thinks she sounds like a tough journalist. Yikes.

  30. Netanyahu's irresponsibility with his own intelligence and defense is glaring. Clearly, many people were on vacation prior to October 7th. Btw, what happened to netanyahu's corruption trial? Netanyahu has been in power since 1996. Why?

  31.  @cknorris  Remember what your kindergarten teacher told you, if you can't be nice, say nothing at all. See you at the ballot box. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽 Rest in Peace, Justice O'Connor. This is your day. ❄️🌹❄️

  32. Lol "our hands is in his life right now"... Are you sure that's what you meant to say? It's okay, see, we all do it, sometimes mistakes happen. Vote carefully everyone. Don't get distracted by bright shiny objects. Learn from history, especially 1968, when a chaotic convention got us Nixon. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

  33. Yes, we need to follow our own laws! Ceasefire.

  34. Another creative interpretation of the second amendment. Have you read the Heller opinion? The Breun opinion? Gun rights are not unlimited.

  35. Impressive dissent. Intelligent justice who seems to be playing the long game if you will, because her words can be referred to when the next of these cases comes before the court. Well done, Justice Jackson! ⚖️💙🌊💙🌊⚖️

  36. The court has appointed a monitor on his assets, especially helpful when the time comes to sell some properties. The wheels of justice grind slowly .....

  37. The court also appointed an individual to monitor his assets. That happened some time ago.

  38. This interview was excellent, especially the fact checking in real time. Looking forward to the next time this journalist handles Face the Nation. Thank you. It's sad to see Sen Scott damaging his reputation by supporting the pumpkin headed grifter. So sad.

  39. ​​ @jackisback777 But important to note that international law doesn't say that they are allowed to do that. The complete intelligence failure of October 7th, and now a very poorly trained military? If IDF is not prepared for war, maybe they shouldn't be at war. Maybe that's just another reason that a diplomatic solution is needed. Btw what is the status of netanyahu's corruption trial?

  40. Netanyahu is not Israel. The Israeli electorate voted netanyahu out not long ago, but he bounced back in a parliamentary coalition. Looking forward to the next elections. Btw, what is the status of netanyahu's corruption trial?

  41. These interviews are basically live. He misspoke. He meant "too many dollars chasing too few products." The next time you speak live in front of multiple cameras in a studio filled with bright lights shining in your face, you'll understand. If you paid attention in your economics 101 class, this gaff was not difficult. Oh well, everyone has to get angry about something.

  42. Absolutely! The majority of Israelis in Israel do not support netanyahu. I think it's about 70/80% opposition to netanyahu. They voted him out not too long ago, and he bounced back with a parliamentary coalition. Yuch. Enough. Netanyahu has been in power since 1996. Why? Because he has been so successful with the peace process? Start over with new prime ministers on all sides, people with diplomatic backgrounds and talents in cartography. Stick to the maps. Lots and lots of difficult sweaty work to do to fix the tragic mess. Get to work and stop fighting. 75 years of vengeance is more than enough. Get to work.

  44. The AP African American history course was a pilot program. Therefore, changes were always going to be made based on feedback from teachers and students. De Santis played a shell game where he timed his media circus to come just before a college board announcement of changes they had already made in Dec 2022. That's what made it look (to people who are not watching this guy closely) like DeSantis had told the college board what to do. A grifter is a grifter is a grifter. The Advanced Placement program is a quality academic program that exposes high school students to the rigors of what college academics might feel like. Please don't allow a con artist like DeSantis to run academic programs when he has no credentials in education. Or not, but don't subject the rest of the country to his nonsense.

  45. Wow, thank you! My high school offered really good electives for seniors who were up to date in their credits. Sociology, psychology and constitutional law were the best, in addition to AP English and AP History. Sociology teacher gave an excellent explanation of behavior on a subway car. Also, a crime prevention workshop from some cops: how to hold your purse, why you avoid the question "Do you have the time?", why you always want to know who is walking behind you. In constitutional law, emphasis on unreasonable search and seizure and Miranda rights. No obsessive discussion of the second amendment, none. Go figure, simpler times. Thanks again! Stay awesome! 🗽🌆🗽

  46. Asylum seekers are protected by international law. I don't think you understand who asylum seekers are if you imagine them to be people who have lots of money. Please look up the definition of "asylum seekers" to educate yourself? Just saying....

  47. Some people find it difficult to be human. Got to wonder what his pastor has been preaching. 🗽💙🗽

  48. Brennan, the rudest "journalist" in broadcast today. Is there an Emmy category for that? Yikes

  49. Repeal PLCAA to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. This is a bill that never should have been signed. Gun manufacturers are taking in obscene profits with impunity.

  50. I think I heard the "broken record" strategy: when someone is trying to paint you into a corner and dismantle your logic unfairly, you make your point, support your point, restate your point, repeat your point, until you are clearly understood. Kamala shall not be moved. Nice. Btw, I read about the "broken record" in the context of managing adolescents and how to avoid giving the teenager the keys to the car, letting her stay out until 5am, and do all the other crazy things that teenagers try to talk you into. Lol. So what does this say about Brennan?
