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 can’t afford a doctor.

Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.

This absolutely should happen - but we live in America, so it probably won't. Nixon was the last GOP president who was held even semi-accountable for his crimes.

Secretary Lutnick: You are a billionaire.

Maybe your mother-in-law wouldn't complain if she didn't get her Social Security check, but tens of millions of seniors struggling to survive would.

They're not fraudsters. They earned it.

How out of touch are you not to realize that?

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the β€œdeep state,” 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.

Having already spent over $7M backing the right-wing candidate in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election, Elon Musk's Super PAC is now offering Wisconsin voters $100 each to sign its petition against "activist judges."

This is what a broken campaign finance system looks like.

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."

Trump is deporting Venezuelans to El Salvador, branding them as gang members without investigation. Meanwhile, El Salvador’s Justice Minister admits the crackdown imprisons innocent people knowingly, calling it part of the process. Some detainees rot for two years without trial.

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 Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

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

An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts.

It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

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.

β€˜We will hunt you down’: Why ads targeting immigrants are blanketing Bay Area air waves The Department of Homeland Security is spending $200 million on an international ad campaign warning people not to come to the U.S. illegally.

β€œLet me be clear, if you come to our country and you break our laws, we will hunt you down. Criminals are not welcome in the United States.”

Bay Area residents have in the past few days been inundated by advertisements on mainstream and Spanish-language media.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Yep. ICE detention makes enormous sums for the private prison industry. There's a reason that Trump's victory sent their stocks shooting higher.

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.

Jackie Robinson’s Army career wiped from military website in DEI purge Robinson trained as an officer and was assigned to a tank regiment during World War II.

At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is β€”Β white supremacist violence against our collective past.
