Agreed, they should be treated exactly like the domestic terrorists they are.

This Republican shutdown isn’t about responsible governance. It’s about cruelty and control — and a president who treats hunger as a weapon against his own people.

There are a LOT of progressive people (especially young people) who seriously need to be thinking about running for office, at all levels.

We need your energy!

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

The Chicken Wing.

All macho MAGAts, are basically weak, flaccid, misanthropes who childhood was full of failure. To compensate, they cosplay in Nazi-like regalia and hate minorities.

The GOP has gathered these under the party's Chicken Wing, because they are.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

I don’t understand camps saying: Dems need to follow the Mamdani model to win the midterms; or Dems need to follow the Spanberger model to win. It’s a big country. Different approaches work in different places. Candidates who connect w/their specific constituencies is the model.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.

We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.

Period.

They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.

Watching Trump's own justices dismantle his absurd tariff power grab is a constitutional farce of the highest order. His pathetic attempt to dress up raw greed as a national emergency is a three-ring circus of legal pretzels, and even this court seems to smell the rot.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Demolishing our East Wing, holding SNAP hostage, shutting down the government, ICE thuggery, AI planes dropping Trump feces on No Kings protesters, illegal tariffs, lying about food and gas prices, revenge indictments, and theft aren't as popular as Trump thinks. Gloat with me!

Yesterday was a BLOODBATH for Trump and MAGA! GOP will distance itself from Trump as midterms near.

Major UPS plane crash and explosion at Louisville Muhammad Ali airport.

All those within a 5 mile radius are asked to shelter in place. Please heed all precautions for your safety.

My heart goes out to everyone impacted. Injuries are reported. Please stay safe. Situation is developing.

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history.

She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.
