Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

The States’ Secret Weapon: Reclaiming the Authority to Limit Corporate Power - The States Forum American democracy has taken a beating in recent years, and it’s no longer clear that our institutions can withstand the forces pressing against them. On the

The SAVE Act would force many rural Americans to drive hours just to register to vote. This bill is voter suppression.

The SAVE Act would require every American citizen to show a passport or birth certificate and government ID to vote.

146 MILLION Americans do not have a passport.

69 MILLION women do not have a valid birth certificate due to surname changes.

The SAVE Act is an anti-voter bill.

Hey friends, I just found out that tomorrow's my last day at the Center for American Progress and will be looking for Sr Designer / Assoc Creative Director roles if you see any.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is sworn in at public ceremony Zohran Mamdani, the first Muslim mayor of New York City, was sworn in Thursday, marking a generational shift in the city’s leadership with his promises to address affordability.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) joined a public swearing-in ceremony for Zohran Mamdani.

β€œWe will govern expansively and audaciously ... never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try,” Mamdani said.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff
