Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva will be the final vote needed to force a vote on the Epstein files—but the GOP won't call the House back into session to swear her in. It's time to swear her in and release the Epstein files.

To Fund Tax Cuts for the Rich, GOP Budget Bill Would "Take a Sledgehammer" to Healthcare for Millions

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."

After years of unprecedented opportunity thanks to labor, we’re now seeing protections for workers and laborers gutted. On May Day I am proud to stand with workers across the country to protect labor rights.

We are no longer Democrats or Republicans. We are either patriots fighting the Trump regime or we are complicit in its tyranny. There is no middle ground. Now is the time for all of us to become activists. —Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social

⚠️ Warning: Flashing lights or patterns 🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the U.S., we will honor the legacy of the workers who gave everything for the eight-hour day—and we will carry their struggle into today’s fight for a country that serves the many, not the few. JOIN US at www.FiftyFifty.one

We deserve better. Much better. Join the protest movement on May 1st.

Let’s protest fascism and corruption. Our democracy is seriously at risk.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Did anyone notice that Buekele didn’t wear a tie? I thought that outraged people when Zelensky didn’t

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

@gregabbottx.bsky.social Please set the special election date asap so we are represented in TX-18! #USCongress #specialelection #vote #houston

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the Democratic House leader, on Monday accused Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas of deliberately delaying a special election in a solidly Democratic district in Houston in order to cushion the House Republicans’ slim majority.

Elon Musk spent millions in a failed scheme to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. Voters decisively rejected Donald Trump, Musk and the rapidly deteriorating Republican brand. Back up off the American people.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free.   - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks.   - All workers get pensions.

Excited to see you, poets and writers, at #AWP25 in LA! #poetrycommunity

Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost. Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

We did it folks !

the news here isn't that tesla cybertrucks have been recalled (again, for the eighth time), but that we still have "u.s. safety regulators." apnews.com/article/cybe...

No kings.

It’s over a 100 years after the great Jewish crusader for free speech, Emma Goldman, was deported from USA for her speaking out. Yet history repeats itself. People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out. People shouldn’t be deported for speaking out. We mustn’t stay silent.

Why do so many people believe all these lies are true?

No one ever said they were creative.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

We are supposed to be a democracy. Elected officials are supposed to listen to the vast majority of the American people when they say: NO tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy NO cuts to Medicaid NO more billionaires buying elections

one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult

I felt EXACTLY this way watching that horror @tribelaw.bsky.social

IT IS IN YOUR SELF-INTEREST TO FIND A WAY TO BE VERY TENDER
