Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

Jane Goodall was a global legend at the forefront of discovery — breaking through barriers for women in primatology, science, and beyond. Her curiosity, strength, and kindness changed the world, bridging countries and cultures in pursuit of a better future.

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour. I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

Are we winning yet?

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Republicans Ran Away House and Senate Democrats are in Washington working to cut Healthcare costs for Americans. House Republicans ran away. #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

Day 1 of the Republican Shutdown. I'll be joining @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social's 24-hour livestream at 8 am to talk through how we got here, what this means for Mainers, and why Republicans must get back to work so we can get the government back open and save America’s health care. TUNE IN 👇

Truth from those with experience: youtube.com/watch?v=F8jK...

So Trump is defunding the police.

This deafening silence is the best sound I've heard in almost a year!

🚨 THE TRUMP SHUTDOWN HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

Toxic masculinity. That is the era this country is in. Our government is being run by a bunch of psychotic, toxic males.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

The fact that this guy is an idiot and also utterly ridiculous does not diminish how dangerous he and Trump are. In fact, they are a useful distraction from it.

Sen. Sanders breaks down the Republican-created health care crisis

But Thune is refusing to negotiate when the government is open too. So no negotiation - open or closed. Got it.

Democratic Governors Can Arrest ICE Agents. What Are They Waiting For? open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

Here's the letter.

More reporting like this please.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess. The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

Most interesting part of the speech—a familiar MAGA tirade—was the audience reaction. Didn’t hear a single person applaud. Generals and admirals sat silently during this political lecture from a former National Guard captain. The right reaction.

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

NEW: Statement from VoteVets Senior Advisor MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton on SecDef Pete Hegseth's bizarre gathering of hundreds of generals and admirals at Quantico, Virginia: "These are not serious people and they are making us less secure — not more lethal."

durbin underrated as one of the worst mcclellan democrats in the senate

This is dangerous. We cannot normalize threats of political violence.

perhaps instead of cowering under a blanket labeled "health care," democrats should respond and advance on the issues that move people. this, of course, would require a foundation of conviction and principle, which may be asking too much of the party's leadership and strategists.

Mass shootings in the US, per Gun Violence Archive: 2015: 332 2016: 383 2017: 347 2018: 335 2019: 414 2020: 611 2021: 689 2022: 644 2023: 659 2024: 503 So far in 2025...324 mass shootings in just 272 days. We do not have to keep living like this.

Ezra Klein has spent weeks trying to justify his Kirk column. He seems to think the answer to our problems is to legitimize voices that are hateful but popular when he should be using his big platform to argue for what's right but might (right now) be unpopular or not yet politically attainable.

So about 10 people loitering around, on governments paychecks without creating anything for the economy or security are chasing the one guy that actually serves the american people with honest work.

An illuminating Report from inside the war zone

The higher taxes we are paying for food, & life due to #trumptarrifs will now go to bail out US farmers. We also bailed out Argentina with 20B of our $$ too. All thanks to the 🍊🤡 in office. youtube.com/watch?v=qYVP...

I listened and it was one of the most chilling conversations I’ve ever heard.

Former president Barack Obama presented with the Freedom of the City of Dublin!! Former President Barack Obama is being awarded the "highest civic honor in Dublin."

Not exactly a dangerous gang member. He grew in the USA. Educated in the USA. And is supported by his community.

This is how they will target Black Americans.

If you think this happened because of anything other than his skin color you are crazy. Racist POS’s in this state.
