I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike.

When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Notice how nobody in the Trump regime ever asks, “But how will we pay for it?” when it comes to priorities that benefit them?

National Rural Health Day is Nov 20th, and our politicians are working to dismantle a crucial service for rural vets.

Join us to stand for rural healthcare for all.

The Trump admin has unveiled plans to open California’s coastline to offshore oil drilling for the first time in decades, a move that has sparked swift and fierce backlash from state leaders. The proposal, which outlines up to six federal lease sales between 2027 and 2030, would mark the first

$50 billion Rural Health Fund sounds big—until you realize all 50 states are competing for the same pot.

That’s not equity—it’s a scramble.

Hospitals are closing. Families are losing care.
We need true equitable investment.

That's Pillar 7 of the #RuralNewDeal

What we found in two years of talking with rural leaders might surprise you...

Potholes, Grumps, and Cable TV looks at what’s gone wrong in rural politics—how rural leaders from across the spectrum are working to change that.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. 🫶

@schumer.senate.gov you should have listened. Step down NOW.

We need to re-build the Democratic party so that it's filled with fighters, not folders!

Thank you @sanders.senate.gov !

#SchumerNeedsToGo NOW step down.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

At a time when Trump wants to double premiums and throw 15 million off the health care they have, please remember that the U.S. is the only major country on Earth not the guarantee health care to all as a human right.

We must pass Medicare for All.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Senate Democrats have a common-sense compromise: Let’s extend the ACA enhanced tax credits at the current levels for a year, and start a bipartisan working group to find real, long-term solutions to our country’s health care crisis.

Outside Chicago—

State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear.

A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection.

Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.

We know what’s at stake right now: our democracy, freedom, and the promise that no one—not a president, corporation, or billionaire—is above the law.

I’ll always hold the line because in Minnesota, the people rule.
