I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: β€œNo words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani β€” the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the β€œancient art of lying” and manipulation.

β€œWith your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. β€œYou can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others β€” Congress, the courts, the American people β€” from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

This is what dictatorship looks like.

I talked with a doctor in rural Wisconsin about what she wished elected officials in Washington understood about the health care system.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.
