Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

This is the most comically inept campaign for NYC mayor in my lifetime. But it has the heartfelt endorsement of NYT. Because they admire everything that Cuomo stands for, namely, inherited power and wealth.

Now, Fiserv's market value has collapsed β€” and Trump has put Bisignano in charge of Social Security.

A woman was grabbed, screaming, by plainclothes men from the Salt Lake airport.

Reporters asked ICE if it was their arrest.

At 9:48 am, ICE emailed to say no, it wasn't us.

Then, in a 3:16 p.m. email, they confirmed, 'This was ICE.'"

No explanation for the arrest.

One of the top reasons people go broke?

Medical debt.

With health insurance premiums spiking from RFK Jr. and Trump's cuts, how many more Americans will be forced to take on medical debt and go bankrupt?

This is near my niece and nephew's school in Evanston, Ill just hours ago as they are now on lockdown.

This is what's happening. It's an occupation by ICE in a Chicago suburb. They must be abolished.

The Republican Party went from VAPID (GWB) to CRIMINAL (DJT) with Rove giving all the assistance he possibly could; he loves the limelight however there’s nothing wise coming out of Karl’s mouth. Media adores empty Republican suits & there’s plenty to go around.
