The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act would help tackle the housing shortage and make homes more affordable. And still Donald Trump is refusing to sign it. If you're serious about lowering costs, you don't reject one of the biggest housing bills in years.

That sure worked for Sen. Cassidy.

The CEO of Exelon, the largest utility in the US, says Americans could face major nationwide blackouts next year due to an energy supply shortfall and rise in data centers which are putting a strain on the energy grid. This is what happens when you give fascists full power.

On this day in 2000, Venus Williams won her first Wimbledon victory, but received less money than the male singles champion. Williams pushed for equal pay and finally took home equal prize money when she won her 4th Wimbledon title in 2007. #WeTheMen

Belgium’s overwhelming defeat makes it hard for Trump to lie the match was rigged. A lesson for us midterm voters.

Since the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown ramped up, nurses’ unions have written open letters to leadership and organized demonstrations to demand that workplace policies be improved to protect the rights of patients in immigration detention. I covered some of those efforts here:

Three scientists with exceptional promise and novel approaches to fighting cancer have been named the 2026 recipients of the Damon Runyon Physician-Scientist Training Award.

Betcha the hotel staff where they stayed in DC would know who they are when the marched out in their scout uniforms. How many guys have white gaters?

I can smell it from my house. I don't spend much time thinking about sports (but I do remember '69 Mets) so I checked to make sure the dump wasn't on fire.

😬

RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.

I promise there’s still good news out there even in this extreme heat 🫡

there was a recent post from Alberta (I think). Their data lords are proposing data center / green houses (local veggies) to be part of an actual conversations with local/regionals.

America 2026?

May she walk in the ancestors' power and courage, but also that of all who looked this image and saw how evil the straphangers are.

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

ALERT: A friendly Bernese Mountain Dog was found around 4 PM today near Medal of Honor Park (M Street Park) in South Boston. • Light blue collar (no tags) • Found running off leash • Very friendly Boston Animal Control/311 has been contacted. Please help share!

Who's up next? Ohh yeah. Mexico vs England. Another great match. Going with my posse from East L.A. for a Mexican win! Let's go Mexico! ⚽️

Oh, these little buddy scouters are so cute in their uniforms. Now someone please castrate these cowards so they can't reproduce.

Announced during a historic heat wave. These guys are buffoons.

4 MONTHS FROM TODAY are the Midterm Elections. Make sure you & everyone you know are registered to VOTE. VOTE for Dems to take back the House & Senate. VOTE to hold the most corrupt individual ever to occupy the WH accountable! VOTE to let our country to begin to heal. 🇺🇸 On 11/3/26: VOTE BLUE 🌊

Yeah!!

Pets are so important to some. Our dogs are like children and give far more love than we give them. When I recently had extensive dental surgery, having my sweet dog come lick my nose while was recovering on the sofa was the best medicine I had.

guys I love you I do but I need you to get so real about setting your ACs to 78. This is asked of Angelenos every single year when temps go up. 78 inside is perfectly fine if it keeps power grids stable for the rest of the city. Let’s pretend we’re a community for a few days

The 1924 Indian Citizenship Act granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Despite this, discriminatory state laws continued to suppress their voting rights for decades following its passage.

Hypocrisy IS A CORNERSTONE OF THE GOP.

The future of our planet depends on people willing to stand up for science and the truth. I’m so grateful to the scientists who walked to D.C. to deliver letters demanding action on climate change.

“.. there is zero evidence of this investment boom to date, and factory construction is going the wrong way fast.” @deanbaker13.bsky.social cepr.net/publications...

This week marks one year of Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” 8 million Americans have lost their health insurance while the world's richest companies have received billions in tax handouts.

Early spring leaves big clumps of lawn unmowed. The areas are a scattering of buttercups we mow around until they are in seed. #buttercups

There is a veritable cornucopia of things to be angry about in regard to science and healthcare. That’s why there is going to be another march in Washington DC. It will be on October 24, 2026 at noon on the National Mall. For more info and updates, hit this link.

Job numbers are next to useless if they don't reflect increase and/or decrease in income (even household income).

My resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision now has 88 co-sponsors! (You can view the full list at: congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-joint-resolution/122) I won’t stop fighting to get it across the finish line.

Thank you to all of our postal workers, like Carrie in San Pedro! Through every kind of weather, your dedication keeps families in #CA44 and across the country connected. Your commitment is a true lesson in service. Happy National Postal Worker Day!

I have a group of #BlueBirds that flit around outside my living room window. They hang out on a birch tree waiting for opportunities to dive for a bug. They flit back to the most delicate bare twig with their brilliant blue backs flashing in the morning sun. It lasts as long as the bugs do.

Top CEOs make 285x what workers (who actually create the profit) do. The rich get richer while workers struggle to pay their bills. Corporate and billionaire greed is out of control. A union contract is how we can start to balance the scales and get our fair share.

Now, this is American ingenuity. There is so much we need to work on together. Crypto fraudsters, tech bros whose only focus is amassing more to keep it from others are the losers.

It would be amazing to have more Native doctors! As of 2024, 0.3 percent of practicing physicians in the nation were Native American. A proposed Indigenous School of Medicine in Rapid City SD could help change that. ictnews.org/news/educati...

Trump owes Congress and the American people a full accounting of his deal with Iran. Every detail. Now.
