This sums up the reality of disparity in this country and how the rich are getting richer and the rest of us aren't even an afterthought. The "Big Beautiful Bill" is not good for the average American.

Completely heartbroken to learn about these targeted attacks on my friends Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman.

Jenn and I are praying hard for both families. And weโ€™re standing with our DFL communityโ€”and with all Minnesotans.

Political violence is a lethal threat to our freedom & democracy.

Letโ€™s keep the nonviolent movements of American history close in our hearts today & pray for these public servants.

Felecia is single mom of four who works up to three jobs at a time to make ends meet. She counts on SNAP to help put food on the table.

This is who Republicans in Congress are trying to take food away from.

A map of LA to put things into perspective. Trump is using any excuse to deploy troops on US soil to intimidate those who do not agree with him. Open your eyes people. Do NOT let this be normalized!

Trump's deals with law firms are like deals 'made with a gun to the head,' lawyers say The White House said it's reached deals with nine law firms to provide about $1 billion in pro bono services. But the details of those agreements remain murky.

Extortion. Thankfully there are firms that are fighting back against these illegal executive orders.

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL?
