It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.

No, we don't want "free" healthcare. We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick. This isn’t difficult to comprehend.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

UPDATE: I've heard from Jose's family. He's apparently been transferred to an ICE detention center in TX, but it's been days since they've been able to speak with him. He needs medical care and to be able to speak with his family and lawyer. This obscene cruelty helps no one.

Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well... Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov. We called the auditor. He resigned in August. That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks. 1/

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

This will probably not even make the front page of any significant national media org. That gives you some sense of how far through the looking glass we are.

Let’s be clear: the DOJ has already been subpoenaed to release these files to the Oversight Committee, and the deadline to turn them over has come and gone. Now that this has passed in the House, the Senate needs to do its job, and the President needs to sign it. (2/2)

"Avelo flight attendants have received inadequate guidance on how to evacuate 'shackled or otherwise restrained passengers,' the union letter said." prospect.org/2025/11/17/i...

Listen… Mike Johnson can claim he never tried to stop this, but the timeline tells the truth. If he wasn’t trying to bury this petition, we wouldn’t have spent weeks begging him to do the bare minimum. Release the files.

Today, Nov 17, is the birthday of Sarah Humiston. She died at 42 in a 2024 family annihilation in Fall City, WA. Sarah was a faithful church member who enjoyed serving others. A gifted homeschool teacher to 5, she enjoyed reading, baking, cooking & chauffeuring her kids to their activities.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

“This is just not what any of us signed up for, and it's so out of the scope of normal operations,” says J, a member of the Ohio National Guard. #RightToRefuse #VetsSayNo #NoICE #NoCuts #NoOccupation www.npr.org/2025/11/10/n...

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

The SCOTUS administrative stay is a terrible thing for 42 million Americans who are uncertain if they'll have food in November. But make sure to blame the *real* villain: Convicted Felon Donald Trump. It was his decision to appeal in the first place. Trump could just fully fund the SNAP benefits.

NEW: Judge Gettleman just ordered ICE to improve "serious conditions" inside its Broadview facility in Chicago. Yesterday, people testified in court that they were crammed into overcrowded and filthy cells for days, with little access to lawyers, and pressured into deportation.

Since Election Day is tomorrow, it is important that New Jerseyans are well informed and know their rights. Read this guide and share with your family and friends.

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not. I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

I am not happy for the Dodgers.
