We don’t want a shutdown—but Dems can’t cave to Trump’s demands to hike healthcare costs & weaponize our tax dollars. GOP could end the #TrumpShutdown TODAY by passing a bipartisan deal. Until then, we keep the pressure on. ✊

Having a hard time keeping up with things in your daily life?

World outside seems upside down?

No longer enjoying the same things you once did?

Future feels dark and scary?

You may be experiencing fascism. Fortunately, there’s a cure!

It’s almost as if the Trump regime lies

'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say

Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

Trump escalated his crackdown:
FCC threats got Jimmy Kimmel pulled off air,
nonprofits face IRS targeting,
“antifa” labeled terrorists,
and critics jailed or deported.
This isn’t security—it’s authoritarianism.

Donald Trump's Most Authoritarian Week Yet

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump used threats to force Jimmy Kimmel off the air, pledged to go after liberal nonprofits and “antifa,” and more.

Trump & Oz want to turn Medicare into a profit game for AI. Denials = $$$ for tech execs, while seniors lose care their doctors recommend. Remember the GOP’s fake “death panels”? Trump is building real AI death panels.

When our working families are strong, Minnesota is strong.

That’s why we’ve established paid leave, expanded the right to collectively bargain, and why we’re investing in the projects creating the union jobs of the future.

Happy Labor Day, Minnesota.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed Texas Republicans’ redistricting bill into law, adding 5 GOP-leaning seats before the 2026 midterms. “Texas is now more red in the United States Congress,” he said. Voting rights groups are already challenging the map in federal court.

A seismic decision: Trump's tariffs are deemed UNLAWFUL under IEEPA.

The court directed the Clerk to withhold issuance of its mandate until October 14, giving the parties time to petition the Supreme Court.
