Donald Trump is trying to cheat the system in Texas, but these Democratic legislators refuse to let it happen without a fight.
Their fight is our fight. I’m proud to stand side-by-side with them as they protect their constituents.

A good way to think about the housing crisis is landlords pocketing essentially all the consumer surplus the last 40 years

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

I just forced a vote to try to strip out Republicans' defund Planned Parenthood provision from their Big Ugly bill.
Republicans voted NO. They voted to shutter some 200 health clinics and deny women basic health care like cancer screenings & birth control.
KILL THE BILL!

Trump will stop at nothing to protect billionaires and price gouging corporations, even racist bullshit like this.
Zohran won because he ran a campaign laser focused on putting power back in the hands of working people. And that's a threat to the Mar a Lago crowd.

Attacks on Muslims flood mainstream after Mamdani win
Openly racist rhetoric has become normalized at the highest levels of American politics.
We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Trump wants to end birthright citizenship, and today’s ruling is a step in that direction. This is central to his agenda to target immigrant families, causing chaos in our communities.
Democrats will continue to fight back—through the courts, in Congress, and at the ballot box.

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.

And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

Good morning.
If the the Senate passes the Republican budget bill, 40% of American families - those with lower and middle incomes - will LOSE money. They will become poorer.
But the richest families will get an average $270,000 tax cut.
Because they only care about the rich.

The President does not have the authority to make this decision. There is no imminent threat to America from Iran. He cannot take this action without congressional authorization.
I will not vote to give him that authority, and I likely represent the majority of Congress.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

A person walks a black dog past a row of four large posters on a brick wall. Each poster critiques the $100 million cost of Trump’s birthday parade by highlighting alternative uses for the money. The posters read:
1. “Trump’s $100M Birthday Parade could pay for 1,400 new teachers” with an image of a frosted cupcake with a crown.
2. “Trump’s $100M Birthday Parade could pay for 700 air traffic controllers” with a party hat and airplane illustration.
3. “Trump’s $100M Birthday Parade could pay for insulin for 238,000 Americans” with an insulin vial styled as a champagne bottle.
4. “Trump’s $100M Birthday Parade could pay for healthcare for 7,000 veterans” with a red balloon and stethoscope.
The date “6/14/25” and the URL “NOKINGS.ORG” appear at the bottom of each poster.
A single large poster is taped to the window of a boarded-up building with red and black siding. It reads: “Trump’s $100M Birthday Parade could pay for healthcare for 7,000 veterans,” with a red balloon and stethoscope graphic. Below the main text, the date “6/14/25” and URL “NOKINGS.ORG” are printed above the “No Kings” logo and QR code.
Four posters are wheat-pasted on a graffiti-covered cement wall under trees. Each poster reads “Trump’s $100M Birthday Parade” and contrasts the cost with a more socially beneficial alternative:
1. A party hat with airplane wings: “Could pay for 700 air traffic controllers.”
2. A red balloon shaped like a stethoscope: “Could pay for healthcare for 7,000 veterans.”
3. A champagne bottle labeled “Insulin”: “Could pay for insulin for 238,000 Americans.”
4. A cupcake with a gold crown: “Could pay for 1,400 new teachers.”
The date and URL—“6/14/25 | NOKINGS.ORG”—are listed beneath each.
A man in a white shirt and cap walks up a graffiti-lined pedestrian path. On the cement wall to his left are four large posters criticizing Trump’s $100M birthday parade:
1. A party hat shaped like a plane: “Could pay for 700 air traffic controllers.”
2. A balloon and stethoscope: “Could pay for healthcare for 7,000 veterans.”
3. A champagne-bottle insulin vial: “Could pay for insulin for 238,000 Americans.”
4. A cupcake with a crown: “Could pay for 1,400 new teachers.”
The date and website “6/14/25 | NOKINGS.ORG” are on each.
