There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Trump has now overseen the two longest government shutdowns in history — with the current one reaching 36 days.
He ran on fixing a broken system and helping working people.
Instead, he’s making the system even worse and shafting working people by gutting the social safety net.

The line from Mamdani that got the loudest cheers at last night's victory party was this: “New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants—and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.”

Dr Oz: “I think we all agree that Covid has passed”.
No we do not agree!
Anyone who thinks Covid has passed has no business in charge of public health.
It’s still here. It’s still killing and disabling.
Get your booster if you can. Wear a mask (ideally an N95) and clean the air!

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Opinion | I’m an air traffic controller, working without pay in my third shutdown.
There is zero margin for error in our jobs. Showing up to work every day, not knowing when or if you'll be paid, is deeply unsettling.
