Otherwise known as communism.

Six Republican-led states sending National Guard troops to D.C. under the guise of a fake crisis.

Texas Republicans using police to impose a rigged map on Texans and steal an election.

Congressional Republicans funneling taxpayer dollars into kidnappings and concentration camps.

This is fascism.

The FDA Let Substandard Factories Ship These Medications to the U.S. ProPublica identified more than 150 products that were exempted from import bans since 2013. Our list provides the names of the drugs or ingredients and their manufacturers, many of which are no…

For years, the FDA quietly allowed substandard foreign manufacturers to ship drugs to the U.S. from factories the agency had officially banned.

We compiled a list of the drugs and their makers 👇

I’ve started watching the West Wing again because I need to watch some functional government.

Hard to believe you were bored enough to start this war: you waffles for the win!!

Stop the Everglades Detention Camp! The Everglades Detention Camp is inhumane, and DeSantis must shut it down immediately. Add your name now.

Happy Bastille Day

A coalition of 24 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit today against the Trump administration, demanding the release of $6.8 billion in education funding that has been unlawfully withheld.

Corporations aren’t people, money isn’t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United.

Repost if you agree.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

Sen. Tillis: “Anybody that’s advising the president that we should get rid of FEMA has clearly had no experience with disaster response.”

You know what works better than thoughts and prayers? A functioning government.

Our national parks are in trouble.

Since Trump returned to office, the National Park Service has lost nearly a quarter of its full-time staff. That’s thousands of people who used to care for trails, run visitor centers, respond to emergencies, and protect the land, gone.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

We the people have spoken. Congress must do their job and represent the will of the nation. Say NO to “King” Donakd!

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers.

Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.

They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

Make it stop!!!

Impeach the motherfucker.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

It’s Always Darkest Before It Goes Pitch Black We’re not alarmed enough by what Trump’s doing in Los Angeles.

"Note that neither Los Angeles nor the state of California is mentioned in the memorandum. Trump’s mobilization order is in no way limited as to time or place." We are not alarmed enough.
