Their voices have shaped our nation โ€” and must be heard in every space where decisions are made. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Rachel Maddow warns: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, millions will face massive premium spikes. A WV coupleโ€™s plan could jump from $300 to $4,700 a month. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown isnโ€™t fiscal disciplineโ€”itโ€™s a war on working familiesโ€™ health and wallets.

Ken Burns drops some knowledge: "People always complain in our, in our divided, dialectical, preoccupied world that, you know, oh, you're taking away my history. No, we're not. We're just pulling back and we're just saying, there are a lot more people here than you think."

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about.

What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars.

We're paying for the torture of children.

I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

Sen. Jacky Rosen: "Donald Trump is in charge of the White House. He's actually Speaker of the House these days, as he alleges himself. And he's pretty much in control of the Senate. He could stop this shutdown right now...But he's choosing to inflict the most pain possible."

How far can socialist Zohran Mamdani go in the NYC mayor's race? The 33-year-old socialist's economic populist agenda has monopolized online attention. Is he the jolt of energy Democrats need?

Answer: Pretty f*cking far.

The Militaryโ€™s Missile Defense System Cannot Be as Good as It Says Kathryn Bigelowโ€™s new movie, A House of Dynamite, is more accurate on this point than the Defense Department itself.

The Pentagon is annoyed with Kathryn Bigelowโ€™s new movie, โ€œA House of Dynamite,โ€ for making the U.S. appear to have weak missile defensesโ€”but the movie is more accurate on this point than the Defense Department itself, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

The fact that this case makes you want to think of a Star Wars pun doesn't make it any less an example of outrageous conduct by our current government.

If you think warrantless roundups, the military in our cities & soaring prices/tariffs are bad, then there's 1 way to stop it:

Winning the House majority in '26, but MAGA's trying to cheat by eliminating Democratic districts.

Then release the federal emergency funds that are intended to be used to fund programs like SNAP during a shut down. Refusing to do so is a choice by the president to intentionally starve Americans.

I'll never forget the horrible lie Trump told in 2015 about seeing thousands of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating after the 9/11 attacks. More unbelievable is that America has twice elected this vile and disgusting human being to be president, despite knowing exactly who he is.
