BREAKING: Republicans blocked our clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits—guaranteeing health insurance premiums skyrocket for millions in the new year.

The GOP owns the health care crisis to come.

Congressman Al Green Calls for a Vote to Impeach Donald Trump.

The last time he confronted Trump he was dragged out as House Republicans and Democrats sneered at him due to his criticism of Israel’s highly documented crimes against humanity in Gaza. Will they betray the United States again?

Important Article
This is a wild—and chilling—story about Hegseth and the Pentagon. An incredible example of how smart, fair, courageous, valuable journalism is done. Holding power to account—and never cowing to threats, corruption. Proud to call @dfriedman.bsky.social a colleague. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

George is a U.S. veteran who served in Iraq. Last July, he was detained by ICE for days without due process or the ability to call his family.

He was betrayed by his own country, which he fought so hard for—which he still fights for today.

This is not the America we believe in.

Trump waged a trade war in his first term that greatly hurt small/med-sized US farms, then gave a bailout to mostly big corporate farms.

He’s doing it again, but provisions in the OBBBA mean big farms will get an even greater proportion.

Here's what happened on the Senate floor today: Republicans voted to kill our bill to save the ACA tax credits—this was our last chance.

Then they held a sham vote on a GOP bill that does NOTHING to lower health care premiums.

Make sure everyone knows it.

The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion.

I explain what just happened and why this is such a big deal for Europeans.
