-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

Post image Hypatia of Alexandria (c. 350โ€“415 AD) was a renowned Greek mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher in late antiquity. As head of the Neoplatonist school in Alexandria, she taught philosophy and science, earning respect for her intellect and eloquence in a male-dominated society.
Hypatia made significant contributions to mathematics and astronomy, helping to preserve and expand classical knowledge during a time of political and religious turmoil. She was known for her work on conic sections and for improving the design of the astrolabe, an ancient astronomical instrument.
Tragically, Hypatia became a victim of rising religious tensions; she was brutally murdered by a mob, becoming a symbol of the conflict between reason and fanaticism. Today, she is celebrated as a pioneering woman in science and philosophy, embodying the pursuit of knowledge and intellectual courage.

Swearing in isnโ€™t some ceremony. You arenโ€™t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until sheโ€™s sworn in. And solo visitors arenโ€™t allowed during shutdown!

Technically speaking, New York *replaced* their original Basic Health Plan (BHP) program (called the Essential Plan) with an expanded version which covered more people under the same name.

With the funding cuts, they're having to revert back to the original Essential Plan program.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20โ€”and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

I canโ€™t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

Congratulations, Trump Supporters, You've Owned the Libs Well, Trump Supporters, as a member of the woke radical Left, it kills me to say this, but you win.

Congrats, Trump supporters, youโ€™ve owned the Libsโ€”and all itโ€™s cost you is a functioning government, a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, inexpensive groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know itโ€™s a lie. They didnโ€™t even bother to bring it upโ€”because the cameras werenโ€™t rolling.

โ€œTheyโ€ is not a โ€œmade-up pronoun.โ€ It has been in use since the 13th century. And has been used by the likes of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen.

โ€œThem" is also not a โ€œmade-up pronoun.โ€ It has been in constant usage since before the 12th century.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But Iโ€™ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

Adelita was elected in a Special Election last Tuesday to fill the seat left by her father, a dear friend and beloved mentor. She was supposed to be sworn in this weekโ€”but the Speaker has shut down the House and not sworn her in.

Trumpโ€™s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected billionaire A $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina is a gift for a hedge fund manager with personal and professional ties to the Treasury Secretary

1. The $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina, announced last week by the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, delivers an enormous windfall to hedge fund billionaire Rob Citrone.

Citrone has a longstanding personal and professional relationship with Bessent.

A message to those in Dem leadership

Many of us wanted Biden to stay in the race
We voted for him in the primaries
We weren't ready to give up on him as he saved us after Trump

It was Dem leadership that caused the distrust
Kamala was a great candidate

Lessons to learn
