Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.

The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.

We're just getting the Navy to murder them because it's fun. Disgusting.

Democrats Should Have Let Republicans Kill the Filibuster Instead of caving on the shutdown, Democrats should have waited for the GOP to cave on Trump’s demand to scotch this antidemocratic tactic.

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Americans can’t afford this deal.

Democrats can fight AND win — just like we did in our budget battle in Michigan.

A promise isn’t a deal. Don’t settle.

It doesn't make sense. Congressman Warlock does.

At a time when Trump wants to double premiums and throw 15 million off the health care they have, please remember that the U.S. is the only major country on Earth not the guarantee health care to all as a human right.

We must pass Medicare for All.

I'll just let the experts do all the explaining. #SNAP

Israel’s underground jail, where Palestinians are held without charge and never see daylight Exclusive: Detainees at Rakefet include nurse and teenager who have been deprived of natural light since January

If you're tired of hearing about Israeli terrorism and war crimes and human rights violations and apartheid and genocide, imagine how tired the Palestinians are of suffering them.

British Workers Union Protests “Amazon-style” Layoffs at Rockstar The union and the Scottish Green Party staged protests in London and Edinburgh, respectively, in response to accusations of union busting at Rockstar Games

Protests were held outside of Take-Two and Rockstar Games offices this week, following the firing of over 30 employees and accusations of union busting.

"It’s heartwarming to see so many of our colleagues supporting us and holding management to account," one of the affected workers told us.

Today, I voted in support of a resolution that would force Trump to get congressional approval before using military force against Venezuela.

Senate Republicans blocked it—ceding their constitutional authority to Trump.

Once again, they bent the knee to a wanna-be king.

President Trump promised to go after the “worst of the worst.”

His ICE agents just went into a children’s preschool and abducted their teacher in Illinois.

When will this Administration stop terrorizing our families?

TEXT: DONALD TRUMP’S WAR ON SNAP July 4: Republicans make largest cuts to SNAP in history October 24: Trump Administration deletes guidance that SNAP funds must continue during government shutdown. October 31: Judge rules that Trump must follow the law and deliver SNAP. November 1: SNAP payments don’t go out. November 3: Trump Administration says it will only provide HALF of SNAP benefits in November. November 4: Donald Trump posts on Truth Social that SNAP benefits still won’t go out, ignoring the court order and leaving millions without support to afford groceries. November 6: A federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to pay full SNAP benefits. Trump Administration immediately appeals.

Donald Trump’s war on SNAP.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

The most corrupt administration in American history.

It's Day 36 of the Republican shutdown, the longest in American history.

All because the GOP refuse to work with Democrats to prevent families from paying hundreds extra per month for health care.

And it appears voters agree:

This is a colossal failure in leadership.

Last month, President Trump launched a $40 billion bailout for Argentina, started construction on a new ballroom for himself, and bought two new private jets for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

But he did nothing to help Americans afford their groceries.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Today is Election Day, California.

Make your plan to vote — your ballot is your voice.

Two federal courts told the Trump Administration they had the authority to fully fund SNAP.

But the President refuses to use his power to feed hungry Americans.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Last chance to turn it off.
