Diddy got 4 years for over a decade of violent sex crimes. Below what prosecutors wanted. Below what Probation wanted. Below the Guidelines of 6-7 years. The judge called it substantial. I call it a betrayal.

Josh Hawley caved on Medicaid in a climate of political violence • Missouri Independent

Josh Hawley may have remembered running from the MAGA mob on Jan. 6, 2021, when he voted for the Medicaid cuts he said he would oppose.

Josh Hawley and Lindsey Graham love to say they “work for the people,” but when it’s time to protect healthcare for their constituents, they side with Trump and support deep cuts.

We can’t let their lies stand — speak up, organize, and hold them to account.

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

In addition to their national defense duties, Americans rely on our National Guard to fight wildfires and respond to other natural disasters.

Donald Trump's weaponization of the Guard and deployments to American cities erodes that trust, and makes us less prepared when they are most needed.

After some of the biggest health care cuts in American history, Trump and his Republicans are now promoting one of the biggest health care cost increases in American history.

They can lie to our faces all they want, but that’s what the GOP's government shutdown is all about.

Normal sentencing: 1 hr, 1 defense counsel speaks. Victims speak; defense character witnesses can’t.

Diddy’s sentencing: 6+ hours, 6 kids, 5 lawyers, reverend, and rehab director spoke. Diddy’s team bullied a victim not to speak.

What a difference money, power and fame makes.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: If we do not make changes and fight back effectively, you're going to see 15 million Americans lose their health insurance through the cuts in Medicaid and the ACA. That's what's at stake.

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

It’s time to unlock the true power of collective action. By organizing coordinated, nonviolent mass strikes and building solidarity, we can make our demands impossible to ignore. Our voices are strongest when we rise together as one. ✊

Stephen Miller told armed law enforcement they’re “unleashed” to do whatever they want to anyone they deem a criminal.

Police reforms are being dismantled as they try to rule through fear, violence, and control.

They want obedience, but our resistance is only growing stronger.

Only dozens watched? Absolutely embarrassing. He’s got to go. Those of us demanding bold, progressive change must stand together and fight for the party we all envision. I’m entering politics to help usher in a new era — a follow back is always appreciated 💙
