Maine voters approve new law to prevent suicides and mass shootings The red flag policy follows the worst mass killing in the state's history.

Following the worst mass killing in the state’s history, Maine has become the 22nd state to adopt a “red flag” law for regulating guns, with the approval of nearly 59% of voters.

The latest from @markfollman.bsky.social:

These are the airports that will reduce flights during the government shutdown The Federal Aviation Administration is forcing airlines to cut 10% of their flights at 40 of the busiest airports across the nation to reduce pressure on air traffic controllers during the ongoing government shutdown and ensure that flying remains safe.

Here is a list of the 40 airports that will reduce flights during the government shutdown.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Trump claims he is "a dealmaker." Well, Mr. President: Let’s make a deal today.

Stop the doubling of health care premiums for 20 million Americans. Stop 15 million from losing their health care. Immediately reopen the government.

What are you waiting for?

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

As open enrollment begins, remember that 80% (!) of the ACA subsidies about to expire go to people in states that Trump won in 2024.

Time and time again, Trump and MAGA Republicans will sell out their own voters — all to fund massive tax cuts for the super rich.

The shutdown is pushing federal workers to food banks—just as SNAP is set to expire "There's absolutely more need, but less food. It's bad."

Senate confirms 48 of Trump's nominees at once after changing the chamber's rules The Senate has confirmed 48 of President Donald Trump’s nominees. Republicans acted for the first time under new rules to clear a backlog of executive branch positions that had been delayed by Democrats.

Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show highlights exactly what @inaeoh.bsky.social warned us about in the wake of The Late Show's cancellation:

"The end of Colbert signals a dark new chapter in Trump’s authoritarian slide. If this can happen to...a storied franchise, this can happen to anyone."
