Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

NEW: After a federal court struck down its racial gerrymander, Texas wasted no time appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court . Here’s what could happen next that could affect voters in Texas and nationwide ahead of 2026.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Busiest day yet for #LameDuckWatch 🦆 @nbcnews.com @wsj.com @politico.com @fortune.com

Not sure I understand you. But one thing is for sure though. Having been exposed to that 40 million count of people on SNAP, I think more than a few Americans are shocked by that number too. It's something we have never heard before; broadly speaking.

Well he already lied to them because he said it during the election. He is a rotten human being. We will see what happens now that the senate also voted yes. I am glad MTG is still saying she’ll read the names aloud if the files are not complete.

Great post. You really have articulated what most of us non Americans think. 40 million Americans receiving SNAP is a population greater than the total population of Australia.

where is your "guest"'s suit and tie.... asked Vance?!

Wow, people lost their jobs for saying less than that about Charlie Kirk.

Trump is evil personified. There is just no two ways around it.

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... If tRump wanted transparency he could order the DOJ to release the Epstein files now. This reversal by him, declaring that he wants the files to be released is a smokescreen. In the meantime, tRump has been providing cover to known predators like Andrew Tate

Politicians target grocery tariffs because we see those prices every week and they show up in polls. But rent, furniture, appliances, daycare—those costs matter just as much and many remain tariffed or high. Watch the whole household budget, not just the shopping cart.

🚨BREAKING: Florida lawmakers are set to begin a mid-decade redraw of the state’s congressional map next month — a move that could accelerate a nationwide GOP push to lock in control of the U.S. House before any votes are cast. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Don’t let facts get in the way of their story.

The secret is having the BLS not publish inflation statistics.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Rep. Thomas Massie calls out Trump: "He can release these files without the Senate acting."

And why are the citizens banned from wearing masks in public but not CBP and ICE?

They are desperately trying to justify the amount of money they are getting from congress because they don't have 20 million rapists, criminals and murderers, they never did! Kristi Noem is directly tied to a contract that was awarded to an LLC set up after Trump inauguration for her photo shoots.

.... willingly? Who are these masked criminals?

Making sense of what’s happening in the Comey prosecution, after a day of ping pong action with court orders & the government’s efforts to avoid turning over grand jury material to the defense—& why it’s critically important for the future of our democracy joycevance.substack.com/p/what-happe...

Can people change? They can. But keep your eye on this one. It's only reasonable considering. Real change can happen. I understand that.

Break gerrymandering! Restore medicaid in Missouri!

In their latest move to stymie Missourians’ efforts to block the state’s new GOP congressional map, national Republicans pressured voters over text to withdraw their signatures from an anti-gerrymandering referendum petition “before it’s too late.” https://bit.ly/49r43zW

Sanders: The wealthiest people on earth are pouring hundreds of billions into research and development for AI and robotics. You think they’re doing that because they’re thinking, “Oh man, this is going to be something that will improve life for working people, for low-income people.”?

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

A MUST SEE There are people who voted for Donald Trump because he promised to expose the Epstein files. Now there is real voter remorse. Epstein survivor Haley Robson is one of them, and if she could speak to Trump today, she would say, “Who owns you?”

NYT is full of Epstein guys, that's what is wrong

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Don’t forget the majority of the 9/11 terrorist were from Saudi Arabia.

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

Feels like American justice prevailing on behalf of the people!

Stay engaged. Help your newly elected democratic leaders built good governance for all!

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.
