Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

Kash Patel today: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want." Really?

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

We are angry. We are strong. We are smart. We will persist. We will prevail. 💙 Believe Women 💙 Matriarchs Vote 💙 vote Blue

How is it that one of the most divisive individuals ever to occupy the Oval Office has somehow managed to unite the entire world against us?

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, the Russians have launched more than 1,700 attack drones, over 1,380 guided aerial bombs, and 69 missiles of various types. Every massive attack by Russia can become devastating. That is why missiles for air defense systems are needed every day.

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

On Jan. 6, 2021, bloody insurrectionary violence interrupted the peaceful transfer of power. Today, America is still caught in an epic struggle between selfish forces of rule-or-ruin autocracy & the unyielding defenders of constitutional democracy all over America.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

In an 1829 letter, Simon Bolívar (VZ’ George Washington) wrote: “The United States appear to be destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.”

It's not just about mouthing the words affordability. We need: - billionaire taxes - $10/day childcare - Medicare for All - a living wage - stop Wall Street from buying homes - free public college and trade schools

⚡️Update: Number of casualties rises in Kyiv amid ongoing missile, drone attack. The number of injured victims has risen to 13 amid an hours-long mass Russian missile and drone attack on the capital.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

It’s been 38 days since Speaker Mike Johnson last called a vote on the House floor. That’s 38 days of Republicans refusing to work with Democrats to end this #RepublicanShutdown, lower health care costs, and protect SNAP benefits for families in the #FightingFifth and across the country.

I’m Jordan Wood, progressive reformer running for US Senate in Maine. Born/raised in Lewiston and now raising my family in Bristol. I’ve spent my life fighting for voting rights, anti-corruption, & democracy reform—at End Citizens United, as Katie Porter’s Chief of Staff, & leading democracyFIRST.

Well, since this has gone more viral than expected: In the absence of my cunning plans, here's a resource to find food banks locally. Volunteer and contribute if you can, and don't be ashamed to get help if you need it. We're all in it together. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

I love this for many reasons and tbh if we had the resources for it, I’d run RFS food drives/candidate recruitment campaigns myself.

RIP UNICEF. RIP Institute of Peace. RIP public broadcasting. Today’s Republican Party is the most destructive political force I have seen in my life. And I’m an old guy from the South. The United States will not recover from what has been wrought in the first seven months of 2025. #CPB #GOP

Every single House Democrat will stand up for the American people. We just need four Republicans to join us.
