The right-wing Supreme Court majority has once again shredded its credibility by rubber-stamping a racially gerrymandered map in Texas.
Republicans know the extremists can only win by cheating.
The people of California and beyond will prevent that from happening.

This Pentagon Inspector General report on Pete Hegseth’s abuse of Signal is clear: his “actions created a risk to operational security that could have resulted in failed US mission objectives and potential harm to US pilots.”

Schmitt’s argument is unintentionally revealing.
The “color revolutions” were non-violent, pro-democracy political movements aimed at ending autocratic regimes in former Soviet bloc nations.
If the Democrats are leading a “color revolution,” then Trump is an autocrat & Schmitt is pro-autocrat.

I’m so incredibly proud to have the endorsement of my union, the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers Local 400! My 15 years as a teacher have shown me what our public schools need to thrive, and I'll use that expertise in Harrisburg to fight for what's best for our kids.

Electric bills are going up twice as fast as inflation. So why is the Trump Admin cancelling energy projects that'll create jobs and get more power to the grid to lower prices? I'm pushing to get energy costs under control.

For years the US has observed World AIDS Day to raise awareness/promote efforts to combat the epidemic.
Today, as if sweeping aid cuts/attacks on the global health system weren't enough, the admin is showing again it doesn't care about helping the world's most vulnerable or protecting global health
