one of the more striking quotes in our election coverage this fall!

New York is a-changin'.

Where are the people?

“Hello, my name is Zohran Mamdani. You hurt my city, prepare to vote”

Love seeing Mandy Patinkin encouraging people to get out the vote.

Supporting a real progressive candidate who stands for change.

Inigo Montoya would be proud.

If you know you know!

FDT🔥

Taxpayers don’t owe Donald Trump a dime for his legal battles. While he’s trying to get $230 million from the federal government to pay his own lawyers, families across this country are struggling to keep up with grocery bills and rent.

Everyone should watch this. It’s a great vision not only for New York, but for America.

Sirota says that while the United States is now “immersed in corruption” in a way that seems like an inevitable part of politics, it is the result of a decadeslong agenda by the wealthy to deregulate the campaign finance system and to essentially make anti-bribery laws unenforceable.

I did not have "Kill the poor to lower grocery prices" on my 2025 Bingo Card.

NEW: The State of Colorado estimates that health insurance premiums on the individual market are about to spike by 100%+ and 7,500 Coloradans will lose coverage if Congress does not extend ACA subsidies. #copolitics

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Know your rights.

While making an arrest or conducting a search, ICE MUST present either a signed, judicial warrant to enter private property, or an admin. warrant from the government agency authorizing an arrest or seizure. Spread the word!

Spare us the patronizing 'bless her heart' comments. It took Speaker Johnson less than 24 hours to swear in his Republican colleagues.

He’s stalling because he’s scared of his puppet master Donald Trump.

This delay isn’t about process. It’s about obstruction. #ReleaseTheFiles

“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny

They say books won’t change the world.

Tell that to every colonizer who burned them.

To every enslaved person who was punished for reading.

Literacy is resistance.

Literacy is liberation.

The library is a battlefield.

Good morning.

It's been 31 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Trump Administration To Monitor Voting in California and New Jersey Read more here.

NEW: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Friday that it will send election monitors to polling sites in California and New Jersey — a move that Democrats and democracy advocates warned may be a potential step toward the Trump administration seizing control of voting.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼😵‍💫

YES!!! Arizona isn’t playing.
Mike Johnson thinks he can hold democracy hostage, but Adelita Grijalva is done waiting for permission to get to work for her constituents.

Andrew Cuomo: taxpayers should pay for $60 million in legal bills for my sexual harassment allegations

Also Andrew Cuomo: $60 million is too much money to spend on a pilot program to deliver cheaper groceries

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs.

Our new ad just aired during Survivor.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

They suck
