Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

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

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

These Corporations Stopped Worrying About Democracy and Bought Trump a Ballroom It has been nearly five years since the 2020 presidential election, but President Trump continues to baselessly insist i

What do Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP have in common?

They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

Yes, it would be turning the Tories into the US Republican Party, and I say that as an American horrified by what's happening in my country.

Hegseth fires general officers and JAGs, cracks down on dissenting views in military, orders killing civilians at sea without legal rationale, calls generals to Quantico to demand loyalty.

Trump deploys troops to U.S. cities.

"What are Trump and Hegseth up to? It's a mystery!"

Native Americans condemn Pentagon move to preserve Wounded Knee medals The National Congress of American Indians strongly condemned on Saturday U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to allow soldiers to keep medals awarded for their roles at the 1890 Battle of Wounded Knee, an event which many historians consider a massacre.

As a resident of the "greater Portland metro area," I'm concerned both for our city and for what may be in store for our nation. I'm gratified that my @wyden.senate.gov is doing everything he can to help protect our state, and by extension, our country: bsky.app/profile/wyde...

Seeing so many people spreading the word about the No Kings rally on October 18th. Trump is scrambling to mobilize as much of the National Guard as he can to control the narrative, he was rattled by the last one on his birthday.

BREAKING:

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.
