Congrats to the 25 young Democrats named to that list by New York Mag—many of whom I adore—but it’s pretty bizarre to me that not one of the nominators thought of Congresswoman Sarah McBride. It’s just odd. Quite strange.

“They were careless people … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

He is also the Senate Majority Leader...

Republicans in Congress are spineless.

Hasan: The UK still has a king. King Charles III, but he has less gold in his palace then Donald Trump in the oval office right now. King Charles has more respect for democratic norms than the whiny manchild trying to send his troops into as many blue cities as he can.

Is it Christian to publicly call for the murder of all homeless people?

That's what Brian Kilmeade did on Fox a week ago.

He still has his job.

I have a message to the staff at CDC who have dedicated their careers to protecting Americans from health threats of all kinds: Thank you.

Your courage and dedication have improved or saved the lives of people who may not even know it.

We’re with you.

Boyer-Biegel Rhapsody project reaches 50-state goal; Naxos to release London Symphony Orchestra recording – Peter Boyer: Propulsive Music

Bringing unity through music, pianist Jeffrey Biegel's 21st century initiative joins 60+ orchestras in all 50 states for Peter Boyer's "Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue". It nourishes our souls, and I encourage orchestras to join this evolving historic moment.

Roy Cooper for North Carolina Democrat Roy Cooper is running to flip the U.S. Senate.

If we want to protect American’s fundamental values, and build a country that works for all, we must start by electing Roy Cooper to be the next senator from North Carolina.

Please join me in supporting him: roycooper.com

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.”

We are honoring #AmazonCrimeDay by supporting a movement to boycott it.

Amazon’s profits are built on worker injuries, union busting, and surveillance—and we’re done rewarding their exploitation.

We are #BetterThanAmazon. Let’s stand up to the monopoly and its billionaire founder by stepping away.

Do not lose hope.

You are not alone.

Most of America rejects this.

The people do not want an authoritarian regime—we do not want oligarchy, we do not want Christian nationalism, we do not want techno-fascism.

And we’re more powerful than they’ll ever be. The people united will never be defeated.

Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.
