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.

So id assume the black folks in America will stop paying taxes now that they no longer will have representation ?

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Happy birthday Stevie Wonder! 🎹🎶🩵🎤 #steviewonder

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

This is why they really hate him — because he’s showing government can actually do good stuff for regular people

Not a single MAGAt could be bothered to listen to the Epstein survivors in West Palm Beach yesterday. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social

🚨‼️WAITING‼️🚨 Cannot wait! This is all I want. Praying consistently, for the day this happens. Jesss hope I live long enough to see it myself. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

Why is the media completely ignoring the Epstein survivors' first public testimony happening today? We won't let their heroic act and Trump's criminal coverup of crimes against them go unnoticed. If the media won't step up, we will.

So in case anybody’s counting, today Donald Trump called not one, but two female reporters “stupid.” He is going to continue to do this. He’s going to start calling them far worse. Because nobody fucking stops him.

THIS IS HUGE 🌊 Democrat Quentin Wiltz won the Pearland, Texas mayor's race. Pearland is a Republican stronghold, and its 135,000 residents have consistently voted for Trump in every election since 2016. Not anymore. Congrats, Mayor 👏🏾 📸: FactPost News

Cornyn names a highway after Trump while groveling for Senate endorsement. His ambition ferments into viscous ooze sealing the road over his eviscerated dignity. #Texas

Checks out.

What is it like being on the frontlines of the gerrymandering wars? Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones knows firsthand. I spoke with him about his state's new gerrymander — and what's next for democracy in the South. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEANThP_k6Q

Worker's share of UK income 1955, 71.7%. 2025, 59.7%. This includes fat-cats. Headline corporation tax rate in 1974, 52%. Now, 25%. For the last 30 yrs, UK has been at or near the bottom of the OECD league for investment in productive assets. Wealth went to shareholders, execs, capital.

Health minister Zubir Ahmed is latest Streeting ally to resign, saying Starmer's position is 'wholly untenable'. Part of the right-wing coup to ensure that Mandelson protege becomes PM without proper contest. Streeting is tainted, will push labour even more to the right. Must change policies.

Nigel Farage faces questions over failure to declare use of donor’s helicopter. What will he blame this time? He didn't declare £5m gift from Thailand-based billionaire. His participation in in the House of Commons is low. May be he has memory lapses.

www.forbes.com/sites/alison... Justice Roberts is a rubber stamp for most the injustices committed by Trump. He should know by now that Trump is only interested in Trump and will pee on all the justices without any scrupules or loyalty. SCOTUS is now a partisan arm of the GOP and not justice. 🫣
