The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

WATCH: β€œWe are not the enemy, sir. We have different morals. We have different values.”

Rep. Jason Crowβ€”U.S. Army Vetβ€”challenged Sec. Hegseth directly after he used language that blurs the line between our military and extremists.

Leadership matters. So does the tone it sets.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace.

And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigrationβ€”they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline.

There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

🚨Trump’s ego birthday parade isn’t about strengthβ€”it’s a spectacle for a draft dodger who’s gutting Veterans care while playing dress-up with the military.

Rep. Jake Auchincloss:
β€œWe should worry a lot less about Chinese studentsβ€”and a lot more about American students.”

25 million kids in the U.S. are behind in reading, writing, and math.

The problem isn’t who we’re letting inβ€”it’s who we’re failing at home.

Pride events face budget shortfalls as US corporations pull support ahead of summer festivities After years of sponsoring LGBTQ+ Pride events around the country, some companies are pulling their financial support.

As we enter Pride month tomorrow it's important to remember that Pride is not sponsored by corporations, it's brought to you by the drag queens who stood up at Stonewall, and everyone who fights every day for equality. There were no corporate sponsors in 1969 and we don't need them now. #Pride πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

I think my biggest problem with β€œwe have Biden to thank for Trump 2.0” is it puts the bad decision onus on one man and absolves millions of bad decisions from voters who had ample evidence to know better. And absolves a press that obviously didn’t convey the stakes very effectively.

US stops scheduling visa interviews for foreign students while it expands social media vetting U.S. officials say the State Department has halted the scheduling of new visa interviews for foreign students hoping to study in the U.S. while it prepares to expand the screening of their activity on...

Oh, so now we care about what people post on social media?

Wild how student visas are getting paused for a vibe check, but some of y’all have been posting red flags for years and still got a security clearance.

Make it make sense.

The ugly truth about Trump's "big, beautiful bill" On the campaign trail in 2024, Trump pledged to improve the economic conditions of the working class.

The average Republican in Congress is a millionaire, funded by billionaires.

25% of American households have a net worth less than $27k.

Just in case you were surprised that their budget attacks the working class to give more handouts to rich people like them.

Give now to help Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher defeat Lauren Boebert! Eileen Laubacher is the Democrat and retired U.S. Navy Admiral running against Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 4th congressional district.

Eileen Laubacher is a Navy Rear Admiral, served on Biden's National Security Council, and importantly, she's running against Lauren Boebert. Let's elevate Eileen Laubacher to ensure that she can reach as many Coloradans as possible ahead of November 2026. If you can, contribute here:

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program β€” the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!

It blows my mind that the party that touts its β€œChristian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.
