Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal.

Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. 

For months, I’ve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news.

Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court has declined to consider a challenge to its landmark 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

The challenge came from a county clerk who stopped issuing marriage licenses shortly after the ruling.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Democratic Party hits lowest approval in over 30 years: Poll The only policy areas where Democrats outperform Republicans in the new poll from the Wall Street Journal are health care and vaccine policy.

The Democratic Party is historically unpopular with its own voters.

Caving to Trump and getting nothing in return will only bring these numbers down further.

It’s a historic failureβ€”and an opportunity to push for changes to the electoral system.

The right loves to claim that antisemitism lives only on the left. But Tucker Carlson's recent Nick Fuentes interview has exposed it for the lie that it is. Todd Beeton traces how the conflict is exposing a dangerous truth about the modern GOP that they're only beginning to reckon with.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.

If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.

Obscene.

President Trump's unprecedented effort to stop people from seeking asylum in the U.S. is illegal and puts lives in danger.

We were in court this week challenging his proclamation that denies protections for asylum seekers Congress has clearly granted.
