American Samoa’s colonial history emerges in state disputes over voting and citizenship Alaska isn’t the only state where confusion over voting by American Samoans has surfaced in recent years.

When Republicans give tax cuts to the rich, that money goes into stocks or offshore accounts — not back into our economy.

When Democrats expand SNAP, Medicaid, and other basic needs programs, those dollars get invested back into our small businesses — benefiting all of us.

Amazon is selling ICE, Police and SWAT gear, including badges. Over 300 were sold just last month. As the "real" ICE apparently doesn't need to show ID or warrants, it sounds like free-range terrorism to me.

My daughter's speech therapist went out of business because
Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid.

Tribal communities risk losing local libraries and the history they hold amid DOGE cuts Federally recognized tribes say the Trump administration cut the grant money they use to sustain the local libraries that serve as anchors in their most rural communities.

More than a hundred libraries on federally recognized tribal lands across the country were notified that their congressionally appropriated grant had been terminated midcycle.

Those communities are at risk of losing their local libraries and the history they hold.

WATCH: “This is how Fox spreads disinformation. It’s sad to see Alexis McAdams be part of that machine.”

Apparently saying “Hey maybe don’t bomb refugee camps or starve kids” is now anti-Semitic. Wild how fast morality vanishes when your favorite apartheid state does the killing.

I spoke in the Oversight Committee today to defend access to housing, Medicaid, and SNAP and oppose Republicans cuts to these critical programs.
