"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."
This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

For likely the third time, you had a chance to reject his vitriol, condemn his criminality, prevent his lawlessness, denounce his bigotry—and you flat-out refused. More than that, you celebrated it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat.
I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Share my name.

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon.

Gotta love all the far right Republicans that scream and complain and vow that they aren’t voting for the one big beautiful bill and then they all capitulate. Grow some damn spines.

What did you expect when you elected someone whose only interests are staying out of jail, lining his pockets, and seeking revenge against his enemies. This is exactly what you voted for, team MAGA.

This, right here, is why tariffs cause depressions.
My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE
This was before the tariffs
It's just...unbelievable

I’m sorry but I’m still thinking about the Secretary of Defense texting “We are currently clean on OPSEC” to a group chat that, unbeknownst to him, included the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic magazine.
