NEW: Rep.-elect Analilia Mejia (D-NJ) will be sworn in as U.S. House member within the hour. Further narrowing GOP majority

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

⚡️'It's disrespectful to come to Moscow and not Kyiv' — Zelensky voices doubts as meeting with Witkoff, Kushner expected.

It's Day 19 of getting past negativity by posting some things that bring me joy. ☀️ I absolutely love light, and the sun, and the amazing things it does. The way the sun paints the sky with colors during sunset is so beautiful and magical, I am obsessed every time! 🌅

We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

If you purchased an auto in the last year, you paid thousands more for that vehicle in the USA because of tariffs. Even if it was made in the USA. Those auto companies passed those taxes onto you. You paid as much as 10% more. Now they are going to get 10% back in their pockets. WTH! NOT YOU!

We've all seen the videos of ICE pulling people out of their cars, shooting citizens with pepper balls, and even worse killing Americans in the streets. This is not normal. And it cannot continue. ICE needs commonsense guardrails NOW.

ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections. Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.

I’d like to see a Buttigieg AOC ticket in 2028. Either one will excel as President. I know it won’t happen. I’m not an idiot. I’d just like to see smart, energetic liberals in charge of our country.

Imagine a California where families and workers don't just survive, they flourish. That’s the roadmap.  Better schools, housing that’s affordable, cleaner air, and a health care system that sees you as a human being first. Let’s make it happen.

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

Welcome, Congresswoman Mejia! House Democrats are now 214 strong. Looking forward to working together for the American people.

I believe it would be beneficial to American if we were to take away the lifetime healthcare and pensions for elected representatives and made them find healthcare and benefits just like their constituents We have created lifetime of benefits for a job that was not meant to be a career Term limits!

15 years of ignoring all the weird symptoms because a Dr dismissed my endometriosis symptoms abd just didn't look hard enough. Today I've been told I'll need a full hysterectomy. In the meantime I'll be put in medical menopause. So that should be fun for you all.

Pa. court recognizes ‘reproductive autonomy’ as a right, strikes down ban on public funding for abortion www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

commission real artists. do real artwork. if you have hands but you can't draw, write something from the heart. don't resort to a generative program to do everything for you, you lazy cheap motherfuckers.

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery. We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

Eight children in Shreveport. Ages 3 to 11. Seven killed by their own father, who also shot their mother. This is what domestic violence looks like when the abuser has a gun. DC refuses to act. If elected to Congress, I'll treat this like the emergency it is. #mepolitics

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

Russian social media influencers are speaking out against what Putin has done to Russia. They fear this is their last chance before they lose all internet freedom in Russia.

It's all fun and games until you or a loved one is drafted into a war that should have never happened.

The oldest known image of Keith Richards, published around 1140 AD ...

You gotta give to the GOP. They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

Putin must be so proud of himself for the impact he has had on the U.S.

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

We have a duty as American people, to protect and defend our constitution. It’s been challenging and the struggle to exist has been real. That phase is ending - we are entering a historic crisis we’ve never seen. Take a moment, sit still and allow yourself to feel the weight of what comes next.

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

It kills me how actually decent and incredibly talented people who contribute so much to society and their communities struggle to find work, while the worst people to ever breathe who demonstrate incompetence several times daily, remain gainfully employed. some at the highest levels of government

We are very concerned that the Governor's amendments to SB351, SB352, and HB650 will fail to keep us all safe and protect our immigrant neighbors. Please contact your members of the Virginia General Assembly and tell them to hold the line and reject these amendments ➡️ action.aclu.org/send-message...

All-New Countdown Podcast drops at midnight: Is the Strait of Hormuz open or is it closed? Are there peace talks with Iran or nah? Is Vance going? Is IRAN going? Does 'blowing a hole' in an Iranian cargo ship violate the ceasefire he keeps boasting about? Don’t ask Trump. He doesn’t know

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

Why does fiction matter? Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people. A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives. ⏰📚💙📚🎧 #books #reading #fiction

Who thinks Trump was disqualified to run for president of the United States of America the first time?

📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.

I wish we had an easier way to do a vote of no confidence than impeachment.

Seeing President Obama and Mayor Mamdani reading to kids and singing "The Wheels on the Bus," while doing all the hand gestures is a reminder that they are human. Whatever is evil ruling us now is not. They would never...

Porsha Ngumezi died at a Texas hospital after bleeding heavily during a miscarriage. The medical board’s discipline of her doctor felt like “a slap in the face,” her husband said. “What kind of justice is this for Porsha?”
