I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

Hereโ€™s the thing about healthcare premiums about to skyrocket: they will never come back down, short of a complete overhaul of our system for universal healthcare. Which clearly wonโ€™t happen bc of all the money tied up between health and politics.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

As more and more files come out, Ghislaine Maxwell has less and less leverage for a pardon or commutation. Things are really going to start heating up.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernstโ€™s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

5 yrs ago, he committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election. Last night, he pardoned all those who helped him try to overthrow the election. Heโ€™s an enemy of this country. Heโ€™s trying to erase Jan 6th. Donโ€™t let him. Todayโ€™s show.๐Ÿ‘‡ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

First, Canada's people turned inward and seriously curtailed travelling and buying US products.

Second, CDN government started making deals with other countries for products we used to buy from the US.

It's hard, but it's working!

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

The brutality. The corruption. The lies.

Everything is on full display โ€” and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson.

Watch.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

These are the people getting huge tax cuts โ€” paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans.

Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion โ€” just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

The government has effectively been shut down for months as Trump has destroyed checks and balances, usurped the power of the purse from Congress, and unleashed an authoritarian nightmare throughout the country.

Why would any Democrat vote for any continuing resolution that allows this to continue?

Why I Went Plant-Based (And Why We Should All Eat Less Meat) Dr. Goodall went plant-based after confronting what that meat represents: pain. Since, she learned more reasons why the work to #eatmeatless is important.

RIP Jane Goodall. I feel like it's shortchanging her legacy to focus only on her work with chimpanzees when her compassion extended to ALL animals. One of the best ways you can honor & continue her legacy is to incorporate more plant based meals into your life. โค๏ธ news.janegoodall.org/2017/04/28/w...

Oregon sues Trump administration over deployment of National Guard troops to Portland The suit comes a day after Trump announced he was authorizing the guard to use "full force" in Portland.

Kudos to the state of Oregon for immediately fighting back against Trumpโ€™s authoritarianism.

Tyranny is only possible when we submit to it.
