Real estate investors are purchasing more U.S. homes as high prices lock out would-be buyers The rise in investor home purchases reflects how much the housing market has slowed as traditional buyers are sidelined, according to BatchData.

In Donald Trump's housing market, rich investors get richer by buying up more houses while working families are pushed out of homeownership.

🚨 Trump's big ugly abomination of a bill slashes access to education for students.

🎓 Leaves 4 million students without Pell Grants
🎓 Cuts graduate and student loan programs

Our students deserve better. This is cruelty, and it’s shameful.

I will vote HELL NO.

ICE arrested a 6-year-old boy with leukemia at immigration court. His family is suing. A Honduran mother and her two children — ages 6 and 9 — sued the Trump administration over their arrest at Los Angeles Immigration Court, the first lawsuit challenging the arrests of children under a ...

Monstrous:

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Jenny is a mom and cancer survivor who relies on Medicaid for health care.

Jenny is a mom and cancer survivor who relies on Medicaid for health care.

Millions of people like Jenny are at risk of losing their health insurance under Republicans' "Big Beautiful Bill."

Together, with brave people like Jenny, we can protect health care for millions.

Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship.

Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution.

It’s shameful.

- ICE has shut down its internal oversight arms, slashing inspections and leaving detained people with no real way to report abuse.

“Is there any sign of life?”
“Have we heard a heartbeat?”
“Does she feel any kicking?”
“We don’t have the equipment to do that.”

That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Monitoring channels strongly warn: don't touch unknown objects -- russia attacked Kyiv with cluster munitions.

Cluster munitions.
On a city of 4M people.
Let that sink in.

Don't talk about "both sides."
Don't ask Ukraine to give up.

Peace comes only when russia is defeated.

1. Trump announces where he will bomb in Iran to destroy its nuclear inventory.

2. Iran moves its nuclear inventory from those locations.

3. Trump bombs those locations.

4. Trump: "Yay! Our strikes were a COMPLETE success! Mission accomplished!!!"

5. Iran rolls its eyes & jacks up US gas prices.

FUN FACT: Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

So…

People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it?

Oh, my sweet summer children.

Whatever your politics, if you were angry about the lies told by Republicans that got us into the second Iraq War, I'm telling you as someone who's researched this BS new GOP war that you should be 100 times angrier here because the lies were 100 times more venal and disgusting.

This is a frightening, yet extremely important read. Aaron shared the gift link, so please take a look. It's important.

New voting restrictions are flying under the radar this year. From mail voting cuts to student ID bans, states are changing the rules ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The GOP budget bill borrows trillions from our kids to give billionaires a massive tax break.

Anyone who votes for this can shut up about calling themselves a "fiscal conservative."

This was a beautiful episode and we encourage people to watch it.

Congress: Oppose The 10-Year Ban on AI Regulation A provision slipped into the reconciliation bill to ban all state-level AI regulations for 10 years. Urge Congress to oppose this ban immediately.

A dangerous provision is being considered by the Senate that would prevent states from regulating AI for ten years with no federal alternative.

We must tell Congress to oppose this ten year ban on AI regulation immediately.

toomajofficial "Evacuate Tehran" is nothing more than a populist slogan meant to later claim: "We didn't intend to kill Iranian civilians; they just refused to leave the war zone." But how are over 9 million people - without fuel, often without enough savings to relocate, and with no second home in another city - supposed to evacuate Tehran? If your intention is to kill the people of Iran, at least have the honesty not to hide the burden of that responsibility. Your war is not with the people of Iran. If you attack them, you are, in truth, killing hostages. And you know very well that such a crime will plant seeds of hatred that could deprive generations - both ours and yours — of the peace and calm we all long for. No child should become a victim of decisions made by politicians hiding behind the iron walls of their palaces.

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement.

Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

Someone want to explain tot ayt IDIOT that if he didnt want Iran to have a nuclear weapon HE SHOULDNT HAVE RIPPED UP THE NUCLEAR AGREEMENT THAT OBAMA MADE WITH THEM. Fuck I hate that mother fucker

💔 The assassination attempts on 2 politicians and their spouses are both heartbreaking and utterly predicatable. We have allowed right-wing extremism and gun fetishism to explode unchecked despite daily tragedies. 
This isn’t a Minnesota problem, it is an American problem and we MUST fight back.

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

Republicans passed a package that guts $9.4 BILLION in critical funding.

They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR.

Let me be real clear:
What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening

historians: that thing is definitely happening

star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it

news outlets: these protesters are out of control
