Neither Zohran Mamdani nor Abigail Spanberger are the future of the Democratic Party.

We won’t win by imitating either campaign, but we’ll win by doing what they both did: running local-first campaigns, giving people a vision for the future, and rebuilding the American Dream for Gen Z.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

America’s Retreat From Aid Is Devastating Somalia’s Health System Hunger and the diseases that stalk small children have surged in Somalia after the U.S. slashed its aid to the country.

When the Trump administration dismantled USAID and ended vast swaths of foreign assistance to the world’s poorest countries, much of the food aid and health care for children across Somalia were abruptly cut off. Now more children are arriving at emergency centers sicker and thinner than ever.

I think more sinister. Trump may want the House to be permanently closed.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this yearβ€˜s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires.

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

It’s such a relief to know this admin is always working so hard to lower prices, create jobs, reduce the cost of healthcare, and make home ownership affordable.

BS. Cash in all your cards now so we can laugh at your health care funding later on.

PLEASE Jimmy did NOT say Kirk's killer was MAGA. He said "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and dolng everything they can to score political points". See the difference?

Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday mor...

Trump just designated β€œAntifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, β€œantifa” is short for β€œantifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

Clearly Trump cares more about his ultra rich pedophile pals & donors than their victims- the magnificent survivors. Also- given how vehemently he is refusing to allow the release of ALL the documents, we can only wonder how involved with these very young girls Trump was

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead.

Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for
