BREAKING: Hill County just proved Texans aren’t powerless. When local people stood up, they hit pause on a 300-acre data center, joining Athens, Killeen, San Marcos, and Wichita Falls in pushing back. If Hill County can fight back, the rest of Texas can too.

Voter suppression is treason. It is treason in a government based on the will of the people. Period.

McGovern: I think Trump is seriously ill. He needs medical attention. There needs to be an intervention from his family or someone in his cabinet—I would say some of the Republicans here, but they don’t have the balls to confront him on anything.

Big thanks to the Artemis II crew who touched down at the Canadian Museum of Nature today to give us a quick tour of the moon — no space suit required.

House Democrats secured the necessary signatures to bypass Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote on a package of Russia sanctions and billions of dollars in Ukraine aid. This is the eighth time in the last three years that a discharge petition has been used to do an end-run around GOP leadership.

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

Speaking the obvious outlaid. We know he only cares about his own wealth. Release ALL the Epstein files and impeach DJT.

There is a special kind of magic in those who find wonders in the simple yet profound moments of life—those who greet the sunrise with hope, watch the sunset with gratitude, and lose themselves in the vastness of a starry sky or the gentle glow of a full moon.

It's simple, Americans can't afford this president's agenda.   But instead of working to address the rising cost of living, this president would rather use your tax dollars to bankroll his billion-dollar ballroom & give ICE another $70 billion. www.cnn.com/2026/05/12/e...
