Perhaps the most honest thing he's ever said.

If ICE comes to your home, do not open the door without a warrant. Stay calm. Documented or not, you do have rights.

Manchester United win the first Women's Super League match at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Marc Skinner's side came from a goal down to record a resounding win against Everton: Melvine Malard's strike, Jess Park's double and an own goal from Hikaru Kitagawa see United leave Merseyside with a 4-1 win.

He vowed specifically to buy Manchester United. There is a lot of buzz right now about an investor coming in to buy the club. We’ll see!

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

A mock newspaper headline reads "BREAKING NEWS" from "ReallyGreatSite.com," dated Sunday, December 20, 2055. The main headline states "PRESIDENT TRUMP EXPECTED TO RENAME SAN ANDREAS FAULT TO JOE BIDENS FAULT." Below the headline is an image of a visible fault line in a landscape, showing a rugged, cracked terrain.

What’s Trump on the Reich-ter scale?

That’s right.

Speaker Johnson and the House Republicans aren’t bringing the House back next week again.

They care more about protecting the EPSTEIN FILES than protecting health care for the American people.

The policy failures we’re living with didn’t begin with Donald Trump - and they very clearly won't end with him either.

My party has to offer a vision for how everyday life actually gets better under new and different leadership.

If Congress doesn’t act to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits, KFF’s latest analysis finds that premium payments would more than double on average in 2026.

Targeting Tylenol Is Just Another Excuse to Blame Women for Everything It's a longstanding tradition to blame all manner of social ills on women, without any basis in fact.

There is virtually no aspect of women’s lives that the culture does not manage to infuse with doubt and fear and guilt, writes @kathapollitt.bsky.social. And that goes double for motherhood. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
