Nearly 2 million Americans on unemployment, highest since pandemic era Continuing unemployment claims jumped to 1.97 million in late July, according to a Labor Department report, highlighting a weakening labor market.

The number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits for at least a week rose to the highest level since late 2021, according to Labor Department data.

Scarborough loses patience with Mike Lawler after Lawler lies that Republicans didn't actually cut Medicaid: "Congressman, you can keep talking if you want to, but are you saying you know doctors' business, you know hospital administrators' business better than they know their own business?"

Federal employees who work at the VA are often Veterans themselves who dedicate their careers to serving other Veterans. Eliminating collective bargaining rights of these employees at the VA - many of whom are Veterans - will undermine the health care & benefits provided to our Nation's Veterans.

The VAโ€™s unilateral termination of union contracts for ~360k workers represents a loss of 2.5% OF ALL UNION MEMBERS IN AMERICA.
Iโ€™m not sure what it will take for the labor movement to get into crisis mode, but the crisis is here.

More than two weeks ago I called for Democratic governors to redistrict 30 Republicans out of their seats.

I stand by that.

Is she undocumented?

Ghislaine Maxwell is not a U.S. citizen. She was born in France and holds British citizenship. Maxwell has lived in the U.S. for many years.

She got due process, but brown ladies selling fruit do not have that luxury.

We know white, er..I mean why.

mRNA cancer vaccines teach the immune system to spot cancer.  The mRNA gives instructions to make tumor proteins, which help train T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells-even ones the body normally overlooks.

LOOK AT THIS BULLSHIT: ICE detained a pregnant U.S. citizenโ€”Sabrina Medinaโ€”while she was 5 ยฝ months pregnant with twins.

Agents tried to blackmail her for info on her husband.

Kristi Noem stood outside the raid for a photo op. This is war on our own people.

Alabama immigration advocate detained by ICE in traffic stop, family says: โ€˜Just heartbreaking and discouragingโ€™ "Her detainment is not only legally questionable โ€” it is morally wrong," a petition demanding her release reads.

In Alabama, another horrible ICE detention storyโ€” pulled over for going 1 mile over the speed limit and then put into detention, a woman who earned a masters degree and has become a beloved community advocate. Not a criminal. Someone who contributes to America. www.al.com/news/2025/08...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "There ought to be independent commissions in every state. The fact of the matter is that doesn't seem like it's possible. We have to recognize that, even though I'd love to see it for Illinois, we're not going to unilaterally disarm when R states are drawing crazy maps."

JFC, @msnbc.com, stop saying "no collusion was found."!!

The Mueller report found 200 pages worth of "collusion." They also specified that technically "collusion" is not a crime. (Just hella unpatriotic, if you ask me.) They did not find enough to charge a criminal conspiracy, in part because ...
