When will weak, spineless Republicans stand up and say enough is enough? Are they that afraid of the senile old man in orange makeup?

The GOP blocked extension of the ACA subsidies. This is morally repugnant, and also everybody knew this fight was lost the second that Senate Dems surrendered on the shut down last month. In the coming primaries, we're looking for Dems who will actually use their power and fight back.

Those are brave politicians and I thank them. I hope they get the support they need

Image of Indiana Republicans’ attempted new congressional gerrymander that was designed to turn their currently gerrymandered 7-to-2 majority into a 9-to-0 majority. An accompanying chart displays the 2024 presidential results for each district. Every district is a shade of medium to dark red, and five districts crack the Indianapolis metropolitan area to prevent the heavily Democratic city and its suburbs from electing a Democrat or two. Two districts also split the Democratic-leaning northwest along Lake Michigan by combining the region with rural areas further south and east.

BREAKING: Indiana Republicans FAILED to pass a new 9-0 congressional gerrymander after enough GOP senators sided with Dems. The GOP's 7-2 map stays in place.

Trump is trying to re-gerrymander maps nationwide. At least 11 Indiana Rs got death threats after he called for primaries—but it still failed

He Spent Funds Meant for Native Hawaiians on Polo and Porsches. The Federal Government Failed to Stop Him. A small business program allowed Christopher Dawson to win big contracts if he promised to uplift Native Hawaiians. Instead, federal prosecutors allege, he used the money to line his own pockets.

NEW: Christopher Dawson won hundreds of millions in federal contracts, promising to help Native Hawaiians.

Documents suggest he pocketed the profits to invest in a beachfront horse farm and luxury homes.

#BlueSkyVets On December 7, 1941, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona was struck by a massive explosion that killed 1,177 of her crew. Many of those who died remain entombed within the sunken battleship, which today serves as a war grave and memorial.

“When we are together, we are strong.”

As Roman was telling his story at the European Parliament, people couldn’t hold back tears💔

What this boy endured is beyond heartbreaking. He witnessed russia killing his mother and underwent 36 surgeries.

But he persevered and is never giving up.

"A lot of people very, very concerned about the state of their personal economies right now, people who are worried that the unemployment rate has been rising over the past year, that manufacturing employment continues to fall, that inflation continues to be higher than the Fed's target."

Tariffs are like throwing rocks in the economic engine, then asking the Fed to fix the noise by adjusting the radio volume. Interest rates can tune demand, but they can’t magically make a trade war painless.

I don’t understand how the Republican candidate for Miami mayor could have possibly lost when he was endorsed by Donald Trump, Ron Desantis, Rick Scott and Ted Cruz.

Miami elects first woman mayor, ends GOP’s 28-year control of City Hall The defeat of the Republican in the race, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, gives added momentum to Democrats heading into the 2026 midterms.

Eileen Higgins, the first woman elected mayor of Miami, defeated Republican Emilio González, an ex-city manager who had the endorsement of Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis, with 60 percent of the vote, Politico reported.

The Enfeebling of the President Trump is showing signs that he’s lost the physical stamina to do the job.

With more instances of Donald Trump appearing fatigued or forgetful, Americans are again seeing evidence of a president who lacks the energy to do his demanding job, @dgraham.bsky.social argues.

Dozens denied oath of allegiance at Indianapolis naturalization ceremony Dozens of people arrived at Indianapolis Union Station thinking they'd become U.S. citizens only to learn their participation was "canceled."

As people made their way into a naturalization ceremony, ICE officials stopped 38 of the 100 applicants and told them they wouldn't be leaving with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who passed every step in the naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance to become citizens.

D+13.3 shift from 2024, meaning about a D+12 implied national environment. Even half of that is gigantic for Dems

Oh my God! That is fantastic!

When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

This is a danger to the free press.
