I might go as far as to say that there are voters coming of age now and for the next few years that have only lived in a world where one man has been at the center of controversies involving allegations and rulings of sexual assault; racist verbal attacks on a sitting President, the rise of crime...

Now with Palantir, her computer and phone become cameras into her world, too. The ability of the government to track and monitor us is at historical highs. "These days it's all secrecy and NOOOOO privacy."

Thou shalt not refuse to swear in elected officials because you’re desperately trying to cover up sex crimes by billionaire pedophiles.

Leading economists say the U.S. saw “essentially no job growth” last month.

Small businesses are getting crushed by Trump’s tariffs and immigration chaos while health care carries the economy.

The shutdown means no official jobs data—just more chaos and uncertainty.

"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.

Trump’s new law trying to close down health care providers who provide abortion care may take away life-saving primary care and treatment for common chronic diseases in rural areas around the country. Medicaid is a big part of the revenue for rural clinics and without federal funding they may close.

So here’s my overview on “Operation Freaky Friday,” ICE’s newest program intended to target unaccompanied minors—CHILDREN—by coercing them to deport by way of cash bribes.

Monsters are running this country.

Millions of medically complex children and families count on WIC and SNAP to keep their plates filled. If the shutdown continues through October, their benefits are at risk.

More mining in wilderness areas! Trump’s now targeting Minnesota’s Land of 1,000 Lakes, the glorious Boundary Waters, where activists have held off a giant copper mine for decades. AZ and AK also in his sites for mine pollution near/in wilderness.

Than support healthcare for hardworking American taxpayers.

Because that's what moms do. We take care of others. We have eyes in the back of our heads and we put the tantrum-having toddlers in time out.

🚨 OUTRAGEOUS 🚨

MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson & GOP leaders are refusing to swear in newly elected Rep. Adelita Grijalva, all to block her from being the 218th vote forcing release of the Epstein files.

This isn’t bureaucracy. It’s a COVER-UP.

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S.

AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers.

Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

I don’t buy for one second that Trump voters didn’t know Project 2025 would be his playbook. They just didn’t think it would touch them. Oops!

CNN needs to own its role too, letting Trump lie unchecked and pushing that lazy “both sides” framing between him and Kamala Harris.

When a demented leader summons their General Officers only to publicly display ignorant and autocratic disdain for their expertise, disaster follows. This hubris paves the way for a cascade of unforced errors, from strategic blunders and poor morale to national destabilization and military defeat.
