Just found out that sloths can hold their breath underwater longer than dolphins.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to fund food stamps in full for roughly 42 million low-income Americans, after admonishing the government for delaying aid during the shutdown. Thank you, Judge John J. McConnell Jr.!

Sen. Jacky Rosen: "Donald Trump is in charge of the White House. He's actually Speaker of the House these days, as he alleges himself. And he's pretty much in control of the Senate. He could stop this shutdown right now...But he's choosing to inflict the most pain possible."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Ted Cruz: "Last night was a disaster. It was an electoral blowout. The results in New Jersey were disastrous. The results in Virginia were terrible."

By this time next week, the estimated deaths due to the illegal destruction of USAID and the shuttering of its aid efforts will breach 400,000. More than 260,000 will be children. Source: www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

BREAKING: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT EATS A LOSS IN 'SANDWICH GUY' CASE AS JURORS FIND DEFENDANT NOT GUILTY www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

In 2023, I proposed the Illinois Grocery Initiative to lower food prices and provide options in food deserts across the state. www.ksdk.com/article/news...

Last Saturday my little community raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they turn into 100,000 meals. I run a meme account and have done more for the hungry in this country than the president, who is intentionally starving women and children for no reason.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand. For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power. Let’s change that. One election at a time.

President Trump and his Congressional allies are about to learn that Jack Smith is the bear we’re taught not to poke. @msnbc.com @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "This is a president who doesn't respect the rule of law and doesn't respect the people of this country enough to let them go to the polls and make up their own minds without him trying to interfere in that process…We're going to continue to stand up to him."

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas. But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community. It was standing room only.

Inside a tense, three-hour meeting at the Capitol on Tuesday, a fiery Senator Bernie Sanders urged Democrats not to yield to Republicans without a real victory on health care. He was armed with fresh polling that showed voters would punish the party for giving up with nothing in return.

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?” TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Oh, my! I thought we were done yesterday, but there’s MOAR? You mean I get sweeping democratic election victories AND more sandwich guy? It’s like Christmas morning!

This is INCREDIBLY important!! 💙💙

Gov. Beshear: “The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

New from FCNL's @bridgetmoixfcnl.bsky.social: "Though the future for our country may be uncertain, the resilience of our communities sustains my faith that the people of this country are standing up for the world we seek." 📣 "It’s time for Congress to do the same."

Some corals can live in warmer seas, but they live 8000 miles from the Great Barrier Reef. Still, crossbreeding for traits like disease resistance or hardiness has been done for millennia. We should do everything we can to stay under 2C, but we ALSO need to work with Nature to help corals thrive.

If Russell Vought wants a progress report on how his federal worker “trauma strategy” is performing, Virginia, who has the 2nd largest federal workforce, flipped 13 seats blue yesterday.

‼️‼️

New data: CBPP analyzed USDA’s contingency fund spending plan & found it is only going to release 2/3 of the funding they committed to in court filings, cutting families’ SNAP benefits far more than necessary, violating USDA’s own regulations & shortchanging millions of families.

It’s Time To Save The Country The election showed Trumpism is failing. Ignorance and hate are NOT prevailing. Dems know we have a country to save. In 2026 there’s going to be a blue wave!

They served coffee to men who wanted them silent. They whispered truth where lies ruled. The Last Table isn’t just a novel—it’s a reckoning. A woman’s 1950s Jim Crow story of courage, grief, and survival. Read and share it before they silence it Get your copy now: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

My quote of the day I remember being 18 and being fed up with everything - fed up with society, fed up with the political system, fed up with myself - and then you kind of go, 'Actually, this voting thing is amazing,' because you have a chance to change it, right? Cillian Murphy

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Sometimes you just gotta look up and marvel about the things that human beings have built together.

Your reminders that the stock market isn’t the economy, and unchecked corporate greed isn’t compatible with a moral or thriving society.
