The US spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. Yet 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured and 68,000 die each year because they canβt afford a doctor.
Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the βdeep state,β or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.Β
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Trump says he didn't sign Alien Enemies Act. "I don't know when it was signed 'cause I didn't sign it. Other people handled it. But Marco Rubio's done a great job and he wanted them out and we go along with that." But the proclamation on reads, "BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernieβs career (and obviously, mine too).

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government.

The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy
Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story ...
NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.
It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism, our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.
We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.
A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.
HAIRCUTS.
This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
