✊🏻 DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS, PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION

YES! Y'all, pay attention! Rise up! It's time!

Are you better off now than you were 8 weeks ago?

Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

Trump has declared that all pardons issued by former President Joe Biden using an autopen—a device that replicates signatures—are “void, vacant, and of no further force or effect.” Unfortunately for Trump, that’s not how this works—these signatures are legally valid.

The Anti-DEI Agenda Is Reprogramming America President Trump’s anti-DEI playbook doesn’t just affect the makeup of America’s workplaces. It also impacts cultural production. Just ask Netflix’s former head of diversity.

DOGE’s Cuts at the USDA Could Cause US Grocery Prices to Rise and Invasive Species to Spread Thousands of US Department of Agriculture employees, including food inspectors and disease-sniffing dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving food to rot in ports and pests to proliferate.

“Before he received his termination notice, he says, Copeland had just spent several months training the only dog stationed in Florida capable of detecting the Giant African land snail, an invasive mollusk that poses a significant threat to Florida agriculture”

Trump's war on Medicaid will institutionalize millions of people The GOP wants to fund billionaire tax cuts—and let disabled Americans pay the price.

As we get closer to Medicaid cuts, I encourage people to learn more about how Home and Community-Based Services may be impacted. I wrote about that for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

What If Trump is serious about annexing Canada? Don't expect Pete Hegseth to stand in his way.

Last month, the Canadian Armed Forces announced that after years of declining enrollment, it had seen a surge in enlistments since Trump took office. (Canadian officials couldn’t attribute the new rash of interest to Trump’s threats, but they didn’t rule it out, either.)

The Democratic Party has a big problem on its hands Despite the damage being wrought by President Donald Trump in his new administration, it’s Democrats who are losing favor with their voters, according to a series of recent polls. New internal ...

Turns out, being the lesser evil isn’t a winning strategy.

Democrats push for 'younger, fresher' leaders after Schumer surrender Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett called for “younger, fresher” leadership within the Democratic Party following Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s decision to back the Republican-authored bill to fund…

Schumer thinks he can win over Republicans by chatting with them at the gym—meanwhile, Trump is dismantling democracy in broad daylight.

Trump is unwittingly asserting that he is unconstitutionally in office right now, because by the 22nd Amendment he cannot have been elected three times as president.

US boots South African ambassador for saying mean things about Trump Donald Trump lackey and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has expelled Emrahim Rasool, South Africa's ambassador to the United States, the Associated Press reported . The foreign diplomat lost his ...

Maybe—and hear us out here—if Trump and his supporters didn’t espouse white supremacist views, they wouldn’t have their feelings hurt when people rightly point out their racism.

Hours after Bannon talks about impeaching judges, obedient extremist Rep. Andy Ogles files articles of impeachment to oust judges that have gotten in the way of Trump’s illegal actions 👇🏽

Pritzker: Trump tariffs will hurt Illinois manufacturers, farmers and consumers Tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump will hit home in Illinois, Gov. JB Pritzker warned Tuesday. “Trump’s tax on working families will have a devastating impact on Illinois’ manufacturing ...

Donald Trump promised to lower prices on Day One.

Instead, his administration is telling us to raise our own chickens and embarrassing our nation on the world stage.

All while hardworking Illinoisans suffer at the checkout or the pump.

Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US, sources say U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

My family found a home here in America after fleeing the massacre of Jews in Ukraine.

Like so many refugees, they found work and contributed to their community.

It’s wrong that Donald Trump wants to deport families, just like mine, who fled violence.

Gov. Pritzker proposes allowing Illinois community colleges to confer 4-year degrees The governor said the program would make bachelor's degrees more accessible and higher education more affordable.

Geographic, financial, or even accessibility problems often close off students from attending a traditional four-year college.

We're meeting them where they are by proposing our community colleges offer 4-year bachelor degrees for in-demand career paths.

Small Business Administration closing Chicago office over sanctuary city law The Chicago location is one of six regional offices the agency is closing and relocating because of local immigration policies.

Illinois has had record breaking new business creation, yet the Trump Administration is closing off help to small businesses and putting jobs at risk.

Americans first? Not with this move! Trump is hurting businesses and workers that need SBA support.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t just crippling our trade relationships, they’re hurting real farmers on the ground in Minnesota.

I’ll keep standing up for the farmers who feed, fuel, and grow our country.

I called Canadian Premiers Doug Ford and Wab Kinew today as we try to find a way through this unnecessary and costly trade war.

While the President may not value the partnerships that contribute billions of dollars to our economy, Minnesota does.

Donald Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will blow a massive hole in our state budget and leave thousands without care.

There’s a storm coming from Washington. Republicans and Democrats should work together to protect our state from Trump.

Defend our people, not the President.

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t.

If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.
