Trump's USDA is hiding the data on food stamp cuts The agency's food insecurity survey was pointless "liberal fodder," a spokesperson said.

Thanks to Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, millions of adults aged 55 to 64 may now be locked out of SNAP if they’re not able to work.

And in a one-two punch, the USDA has terminated its annual food insecurity survey, making it impossible to know just how devastating Trump’s cuts will be.

Wish that members of this lunatic administration had the same energy about "complying with law enforcement " when it came to the insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol and assaulted law me and my coworkers. The mental gymnastics these clowns do is exhausting. Renee Nicole Good was murdered

During the height of America's homelessness crisis in the 90's, Robin Williams asked if he could testify before the Senate.

Whoopi Goldberg was by his side.

It's the most powerful two minutes you'll see today...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech β€” rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

β€œThe billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.”

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

Trump wants to use the Navy to build $10B worth of migrant detention camps.

Let me get this straight: we "can't afford" to invest in public programs that make housing or healthcare more affordable β€” but we have endless funds to detain migrants and enrich defense contractors?

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

George Retes is an American citizen and a disabled U.S. Army veteran.
Β 
ICE agents dragged him out of his car, pepper sprayed him, and forced him to sit in detention for 3 days.

If they'll do that to Mr. Retes, what will they do to you and your family?

Ousted vaccine panel members say rigorous science is being abandoned under RFK Jr. Seventeen experts ousted from a U.S. vaccine committee are expressing little faith in what the panel has become.

Ousted members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices describe RFK Jr.’s first meetingβ€”featuring anti-vaccine presenters pushing unfounded claims.

They now call for the creation of an independent vaccine panel outside the federal government.

This happened because of you. You protested at TeslaTakedowns and made his name and his company’s product reviled. You protested outside federal agencies slated for DOGE cuts. You barred doors, protected data. You sued and won. You WORE HIM OUT.

This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face.
