Never forget who sold out the American People:

Senator Maggie Hassan NH
Senator Angus King ME
Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto NV
Senator Jeanne Shaheen NH
Senator Tim Kaine VA
Senator John Fetterman PA
Senator Dick Durbin IL
Senator Jacky Rosen NV

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

It’s “Colombia” YOU ABSOLUTE DUMBASS

Always keep your cameras rolling. Federal officials are scheduled to appear in court today, where they’ll face questions over whether the government breached a prior order by deploying tear gas during immigration enforcement operations in the Chicago area.

Nearly all employees within the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) were dismissed in Friday’s reduction-in-force, leaving only a few senior officials and administrative staff.

What the actual fuck is Trump even talking about? He just went on Truth Social to declare the racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy is “no longer a theory.” This is the same extremist garbage that inspired the Buffalo and El Paso mass shootings. He’s recycling message-board rants like their policy,

U.S. Highlighted on International Human Rights Watchlist The watchlist cited "sustained attacks on civil freedoms" during the first six months of Trump's second term.

Completely missed this. So did much of the lame-ass media.

US added to Human Rights Watchlist due to sustained attacks on civil liberties.

And the fucker thinks he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Especially important to see the Christians supporting the protests against ICE which is carrying out atrocity in support of Christian nationalism.

Over the decades I have spoken at all of the service academies and War Colleges. They've all known I was "a critic" of many policies

This is a really, really ominous development

(AFAcad cancelling a speaker, in endowed-lecture series, because she has criticized Trump.)

Massive amount of people.

‘I escaped a Russian prison — only to end up in an American jail’ Dozens of Russian dissidents have been expelled from the US and forcibly returned to Russia with the co-operation of immigration authorities

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

The threat from the Russians is increasing every day, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said.

He said that the latest Russian missile technology makes it possible for the missile to fly from the "frontline" countries, such as the Baltic states, to Western European countries in 5-10 minutes.

Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures.

Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims.

Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.

I'm a trauma psychotherapist - stop interviewing kids right after a shooting to get ratings!!!

Telling their story might help them or it might be really harmful. They need trauma-informed support to help them process. Support the kids: don't watch these interviews.

Arguably the most anti-religious administration in history. Just nakedly hostile to those who wish to practice their faith.

Susan Collins shamed at ribbon cutting ceremony for not having held a town hall in 20 years.

Whoa. *needle scratch*

@freedcproject.bsky.social is holding a rally to protest Trump’s plans to take federal control of the police department. If you’re in the area and able to join, please do! Follow them on Bluesky to stay updated on future events.

This is concerning during Trump’s press conference, he portrayed Washington as a testing ground, a place to prove MAGA can manage and “revitalize” cities better than Democrats, with the goal of making it a model for other Democratic-led cities across the USA. A model for what exactly, martial law?

Should be nowhere near law enforcement.

US House spending panel votes to rename Kennedy Center Opera House for Melania Trump Republicans on the U.S. House Appropriations Committee voted Tuesday to rename the Opera House at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., for first lady Melania Trump.

How about we don’t rename the Kennedy Center’s Opera House after Melania Trump? Just a thought. The amendment was approved in a 33–25 vote by the House Appropriations Committee and added to the fiscal year 2026 Interior funding legislation.

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it will shut down its Office of Research and Development and eliminate thousands of agency jobs. According to the agency, this office has long served as the scientific backbone of its efforts to protect both public health and the environment.

A DOGE staffer has assumed control over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), an agency traditionally independent from direct White House authority. Adam Blake, now serving as the DOGE-appointed lead at the NRC, has been tasked with carrying out directives from Trump.

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”.

This is fascism.

Republican Votes for Budget After Dumping Medicaid-Related Stock Representative Robert Bresnahan has some explaining to do.

GOP Rep. Robert Bresnahan of Pennsylvania voted for Trump’s budget on Thursday, conveniently after he dumped his shares of stock in a Medicaid provider.
