11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

Where are the demands for town halls? Did the Democratic Party just forget?

Going to prison for the right to protest.

Palestine Action was proscribed on 5 July, putting the direct action group in the same legal category as groups such as al-Qaida and Islamic State. Since then, around 200 people have been arrested for supporting the group.

WASHINGTON-House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today issued deposition subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales for testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein. Additionally, Chairman Comer issued a subpoena to the U.S. Department of Justice for records related to Epstein. These subpoenas follow recent action by an Oversight Subcommittee, which approved motions to subpoena these records and compel witness testimony.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has issued subpoenas for a long list of former government officials including the Clintons, Alberto Gonzales, Jeff Sessions, and Bill Barr.

One name that’s missing, the US Attorney who gave Epstein a sweetheart deal in 2008: Alex Acosta.

Yet Tesla sales are falling.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries, no matter what Trump says.

A tariff is an import tax, raising the price of almost everything we buy.

Tariffs are also regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Sugar is sugar.

Republicans in Texas Voted out a new illegal map faster than they voted on a piece of legislation for the families in Kerr County that are still suffering… THEIR PRIORITIES ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR!

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

No. Trump will not fund IVF treatment.

It’s against his party’s platform, which supports “fetal personhood.”

And this week, all but 2 GOP senators voted to block the Right to IVF Act. JD Vance missed the vote.

Trump is scared of losing & making promises he has no plan to keep.

BREAKING: The Trump administration announces it will withhold federal disaster preparedness funds from any U.S. state or city that boycotts Israel, according to Reuters.

Texas Democrats aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy.

Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.

How can anyone trust anything that emerges from the BLS when the person in charge of the agency will almost certainly have to come up with data to Trump’s liking?

Answer: They cannot.

Trump has destroyed the credibility of this extraordinarily important source of information.

Robert Reich Trump Lied About Grocery Prices

About half of all Americans say the cost of groceries is a “major” source of stress in their life, according to a new AP-NORC poll.

But Trump seems to have given up on doing anything to make groceries cheaper.

Wasn't that what the entire election was supposedly about?

Why Do So Many People Think Trump Is Good? The work of the moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre helps illuminate some central questions of our time.

How is it that half of America looks at Trump and doesn’t find him morally repellent? He lies, cheats, steals, betrays, and behaves cruelly and corruptly, and more than 70 million Americans find him morally acceptable. Some even see him as heroic, admirable, and wonderful.

Complicated?

Good point. Texas Democrats aren't fleeing.
