Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

The president of the United States is on his way to an NFL game after a weekend spent partying at his country club and fighting to starve poor Americans.

And Senate Democrats want to surrender to him?!

Fuck that and fuck them.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have β€œthe worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Bannon himself belongs in prison. He’s the one who’s been whispering in trump’s ear since 2016, pushing as hard as he can to destroy democracy, the architect of the Insurrection, a white supremacist, a danger to life as we know it here in the U.S.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Newsom to attend UN climate summit in Brazil as Trump skips This marks the first time the Democratic governor and likely presidential contender will attend the summit, which begins Nov. 10.

As Trump betrays people and the planet, I’m headed next week to the U.N.’s COP30 climate conference in Brazil.

I’ll be joining our international partners to strengthen California’s climate commitments and showcase how our climate action is creating more jobs, cleaner air, and lower costs.

How can Zohran win the agenda he campaigned on?

The answer is that he won't do itβ€”WE will! To win, we'll need the organized engagement of tens of thousands of New Yorkers. The campaign showed the world we can build this kind of movement. Join us tonight at 7 to hear what's next!

Justice is served.
