This made me laugh until I cried! Didn’t realize how much I needed that - thank you!!!

The context matters. We know - for certain - there is a diplomatic path to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The Obama agreement was working. And as late as a week ago, Iran was back at the table again. Which makes this attack - with all its enormous risks - so reckless.

Excellent

LA DODGERS just now:

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs.

“You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.”

I’ll take the fucking job!

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives.

Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

Don’t like gay marriage?
Don’t get married to the same sex.

Don’t like gender-affirming care?
Don’t have any.

Don’t like Planned Parenthood?
Don’t go there.

Don’t like abortion?
Don’t get one.

Just because *you* don’t like it doesn’t mean *others* shouldn’t be able to it.

Make no mistake: Illinois is leading the nation in strengthening women’s health care.

With the passage of HB 3637, we are expanding the ways we shield our providers from punishment for delivering life-saving health care.

We are not going back.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

BREAKING: We're going to court to defend pregnant people's right nationwide to get lifesaving abortion care when they're facing a medical emergency.

BREAKING: Texas passed a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

We will be suing.

The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

BREAKING: Susan Crawford has WON the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race!!

In a suit and tie.Since last night. You can WATCH. And I’m hearing that Sen. Warnock is up next.

Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 13 hours — taking aim at Trump, Musk, and America's 'moral moment'.

Just after hitting the 12-hour mark, Booker said, "I am standing here because of a national crisis that is growing."

What if every Democratic senator took their turn and stood up on the floor to talk about what they stand for? Days and days of Dems holding the floor and speaking up. Wouldn’t that be something? Something to keep us inspired and fighting in these dark days. #Momsky

Today, Rep. Dan Goldman and I re-introduced the Abortion Care Awareness Act of 2025. This bill directs HHS to launch a national education campaign so people know their rights, understand their options, and can access accurate info about abortion care.

Go Cory Go!

The SAVE Act is another bogus attempt by Republicans to suppress the vote — this time, targeting women. It’d make it damn near impossible for millions who changed their name after marriage to vote. This isn’t about integrity. It’s suppression. We’re not letting it slide.
