Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.

In Memory of
MELISSA HORTMAN
Former Minnesota House Speaker
1970 - 2025
Taken far too soon in a targeted attack.
A voice for justice, clean energy, and equality.
We honor her legacy, leadership, and courage.

One would think Johnson would be anxious to swear in the new Representative to clear Trump’s name once and for all, instead of endlessly delaying her swearing-in to prevent the files release.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org

🇺🇦 Zelensky: This night, Russia's aerial terror against our cities and infrastructure continued again. The main targets are our energy sector. Last night, air bombs were dropped on Kharkiv and the city hospital, injuring 57 people. An absolutely terrorist, cynical attack on where lives are saved.
