Newsom, Eyeing 2028, Tries to Mess With Texas: β€˜Don’t Poke the Bear’

β€œLet’s stand up to those that have been humiliated, those that feel bullied, those that are afraid & scared. Let’s stand up for those that have given up, & let’s give them hope. Let’s stand up for the rule of law. Let’s stand up for a system of checks and balances…”

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the β€œwe” in β€œwe the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Sussan Ley under pressure as Nationals formally scrap net zero target David Littleproud says he informed the Liberal leader days ago of the policy position his party was considering

Dumping net zero by 2050 ignores Australia’s international commitment to slash climate pollution, sells out young Australians and leaves the regional communities the Nationals claim to represent more vulnerable to fossil-fuelled extreme fires, floods, and storms.

More than 47 million Americans β€” including one in five children β€” don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

How the gender pay gap grows up with us At the start of their careers, men and women earn almost the same. But by the time women reach their 30s their earnings flatten, while men's climb.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans β€” including 20 million children β€” from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

It's hard to convey just how truly terrible the @albomp.bsky.social government's Environment Protection Reform Bill is, they've outdone themselves! If this bill, in its current form, passes, the places and wildlife we love are about to have even more pain, death and destruction heaped onto them!

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
