You don’t “campaign” for the Nobel Peace Prize. You earn it.

“The Republicans who cut Medicaid & are refusing to lower health care costs for working families are the same politicians who gave $40 million of taxpayer dollars to President Trump to build a ‘garden of heroes.’”

Seriously.

Thank you @neguse.house.gov

SCOTUS has been focused on chipping away at civil rights laws and policies for 20 years.

Today, the justices will hear oral arguments in a case that could represent not just another chip, but a fatal blow to the load-bearing pillar of American multi-racial democracy: The 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Voting Rights Are on the Supreme Court’s Chopping Block

Tuesday's case pits fanciful claims of racial harmony against the reality of ongoing discrimination.

"Cosplay Karen" Noem can whine about this shutdown being the Democrats' fault, but we know the truth. Republicans control Congress ＆ they let this happen to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files.

"My officers are on duty today protecting the Capitol complex.. Friday, they missed their first FULL paycheck.The longer the shutdown drags on, the harder it becomes for my officers. Banks & landlords do not give my officers a pass because we are in shutdown.."

U.S. measles cases continue to climb, with outbreaks across the country

In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Instead of working to get the government open and pay our troops and air traffic controllers and helping his constituents keep their health plans, Mike Johnson has been tasked with helping Trump get the Nobel next year.

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

JD Vance claims Trump is deploying the National Guard because crime in Chicago and Portland has gotten "out of control."

But crime rates were already falling in both cities.

This is all a power grab — and a pretext for something much worse. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8vrfgHqs
