Two nights ago, Russia sent nearly 700 drones and dozens of missiles at Ukrainian civilians. In the fifth year of the war, aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilians have become even more intense and more frequent. Please join me in this campaign for air defense equipment. You can help protect lives.

French President Emmanuel Macron says a French soldier was killed and three others wounded in an attack on U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon.

A picture’s worth a thousand words.

How worried are Republicans that they are about to lose the Virginia redistricting special election? Today, they filed a lawsuit against Fairfax County. www.democracydocket.com/cases/fairfa...

Never mind the astronomical amounts they’re spending on gas, housing, and power bills. The math ain’t mathing, folks. Unless you’re a billionaire.

"Some of the legislation which is great that you've been talking about—there is 0 chance that that'll be signed into law by President Trump, period, full stop. And that's the reason, that's another reason why we have to put the horse before the cart, and the horse is getting rid of him."

Trump called every reporter in the observable universe, who all dutifully repeated his updates about Iran, and all those updates have fallen apart in fewer than 36 hours. How long will legacy media keep doing this?

Not really comfortable with our military relying on Musk...

Stripping funding from a Catholic charity that houses migrant kids because the Pope called out your warmongering isn’t "America First." It’s a sociopathic vendetta against the most vulnerable.

The Senate’s final vote on repealing the ban on mining near the Boundary Waters has been scheduled for Thursday morning. Sen. Tina Smith is expected to continue speaking then.

Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars.

Yet again, Senate Republicans (and their colleague Fetterman) have blocked Democrats’ legislation aimed at stopping Trump’s illegal war on Iran. Email your senators and urge them to keep fighting (or let them know how you feel about their latest betrayal): act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. This is not only bad for our economy, but it’s leading to a billionaire takeover of our democracy as well. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkiO0_uSJAk

Trump’s DOJ is shamelessly rewriting history. Dismissing these charges as an insult to the rule of law and the Capitol Police officers who enforced it. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

As a former US Capitol Police officer, I’m disgusted by this. As a current local detective, I’m disgusted by this. As a future criminal attorney, I’m disgusted by this. As an American, I’m terrified by this.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, a 240-year-old newspaper set to close after a protracted battle between its parent company and the paper’s union, was sold to a nonprofit that promises to keep the paper running.

As peace talks with Iran hit a dead end, our president and secretary of state—the country's top diplomat—were ringside at a UFC fight. The Trump administration is doing lasting damage to our reputation on the world stage.

If we’re going to claim that character matters in public life, then it has to matter every time. Not just when it’s convenient. Not just when it’s the other side. A democracy can’t survive on selective outrage. The rules either apply to everyone, or they’re not rules at all.

“The Secretary of Defense is not connected to reality.”

BREAKING: the judges who dismissed high-profile cases in immigration court against two international students who have advocated for Palestinian causes, Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, were fired yesterday, alongside four other judges. /w @haleaziz.bsky.social and @nicknehamas.bsky.social

As we await Hungary's election both for the liberation of its people and as portent for our own, let us recall the role that ridicule, resistance and refusal has played. Yes, elections can be turning points but only if movements make them so.
