I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

Next time you cash your SS or disability check, thank an undocumented immigrant. They paid $25B into SS last year, keeping it afloat. Deport them all? The fund loses $13B a year. They pay in, take nothing out, and help keep costs down.

Now go hug an undocumented immigrant. Thank you.

People experiencing miscarriages in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves.

We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:

- Lifetime terms for high court judges
- An electoral college for choosing an executive
- A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities
- 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

The good news:

1) Aftyn Behn moved a ruby red district 12 points more blue.

2) She can and should run again in the midterm election.

3) With real investment and good candidates, every R+ 7 or less seat is now in play.

The bad news:

Rural white voters are still the absolute worst.

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans.

That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about.

Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Twin Cities ICE Watch / Migra Watch - Wednesday, Dec 3, 2025 at 6pm CT

The Twin Cities is currently under federal occupation.  Join States at the Core and Protect RP to learn important lessons from direct experiences on the ground in the neighborhoods in Chicago that most stood up to an even more intense Federal invasion from "Operation Midway Blitz"

This training will share important skills for documenting ICE activity and supporting neighbors in your community. ICE Watch is a key strategy being used by groups across the country to protect their communities against aggressive activity by ICE agents. Practicing ICE Watch protects our neighborhoods from immigration enforcement by ensuring our community members know their rights, have a plan, and know how to act in the event of targeting by ICE.  In addition to covering the basics of ICE Watch, we will discuss new analysis on ICE operations and safety guidance.

AI poses unprecedented threats. Congress must act now | Bernie Sanders Despite the speed at which it is progressing, AI is getting far too little discussion in Congress, the media and within the general population. That has got to change

If AI eliminates millions of jobs, how will people survive?

Will AI destroy democracy with a massive invasion of our privacy?

Could a superintelligent AI replace humans in controlling the planet?

We must act NOW. AI must benefit all of us, not just billionaire investors.

COVID is a systemic disease that can harm the brain, heart, immune system and more.

Every reinfection increases the risk of Long COVID, chronic illness, disability and even death.

If people understood the real danger, they’d take prevention seriously instead of accepting repeated infections.
