It’s fucking insane

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

David Hogg is doubling down on his mission to shake up a complacent Dem establishment. His group, Leaders We Deserve, has made its first big move, endorsing Michigan state Rep. Donavan McKinney over US House Rep. incumbent Shri Thanedar, signaling a push for fresher, more progressive leadership.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Hundreds of scholars say U.S. is swiftly heading toward authoritarianism Most — but not all — political scientists are deeply troubled by the president's attempts to expand executive power, according to a national survey.
