A top U.S. Senate candidate is touting a proposal she refuses to even introduce or force a vote on in her own legislature. When candidates treat voters like they're too dumb to look at their record, it's a warning sign about whether or not they'll try to fulfill their promises once in office.

"The Campaign Against Hasan Piker Is About Crushing the Left" Centrist groups like Third Way are trying to cancel the popular progressive streamer as part of their campaign to ‘reduce far-left influence.’ Why are top Democrats joining in?

"The deal was within reach."

NEW: Why can’t Congress just move money from the Pentagon to veterans’ health care? Because the budget is designed to make that almost impossible.

If you embrace diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, then I hope and believe you'll find common purpose with the brilliant people in my new Ian's "E pluribus unum" Starter Pack #1. go.bsky.app/PLnnvMQ

🚨NEWS: A surveillance giant getting government contracts is trying to block its own shareholders from voting to force execs to disclose dark money spending. Trump's SEC is boosting such efforts to kill these initiatives & create a precedent letting companies more easily hide political spending.

The health care system is a disaster thanks both to GOP obstruction AND to Dems using a near-supermajority to marginalize Medicare for All & create a public-option-free Heritage Foundation-style ACA empowering insurers to enrich themselves & fleece everyone else. Thanks for attending my TED talk.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

This ICE detention center is the largest in the country and has become notorious for rampant physical abuse, medical neglect, and death. We won't let up the pressure until it's shut down for good.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them. I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

The “AI safety” super PAC largely backed by Anthropic is now up to nearly $700k (!) in North Carolina 4, backing Valerie Foushee [email protected]. Foushee is on the Dems AI task force. In 2022, she got $1m in backing from SBF AND $2M+ from AIPAC.

NEW: Big corporations know how much they jacked your prices & now owe you in tariff refunds - but because Trump intervened to make sure that data is kept secret, any tariff refunds are likely to just be pocketed by corporations & their executives rather than returned to you.

those who save others' lives, give them health care, educate children, help protect communities & actually build things in the world are typically paid far less than those who are paid to mass produce clickslop and video rants designed to enrage people on the Internet

My open letter to ⁦‪LeBron James‬⁩ after he said at the weekend that he had heard “nothing but great things” about Israel.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Days after the killing of Renee Good, Stephen Miller and DHS began bragging that ICE agents have immunity from being held accountable. There's a bill sitting in Congress that would end that immunity - and Democrats could right now use their sudden leverage to force its passage. Pass it on.

If you wonder why Stephen Miller is orchestrating ICE hate into the streets of the US, emails that show who he really is may have been forgotten but here they are, sitting in plain sight Neo-nazism and White Nationalism support feature strongly www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

DHS caught lying again 🤥

They don't like studies because experts are always wrong, don't you know? #USDemocracy www.businessinsider.com/trump-tariff...

NEW: Romney pushed tax cuts for his fellow moguls, vilified the bottom 47% as tax scofflaws & fortified a rigged system. He now published a NYT oped calling for tax hikes, but offers no apology for his record. Why do the powerful only change after they have no power to fix crises they created?

In 2016, data showed lawmakers on key committees were getting sweetheart loans. Now, lawmakers who ascend to leadership see a 47 point gain in stock returns. And Trump is using pardons to end corruption prosecutions. The master plan has created a national emergency.

This #GivingTuesday my wife Molly and I will DOUBLE the first $50K in donations to St. Joseph Center - a great organization that does so much to help our friends and neighbors who need a boost. stjosephctr.org/jimmyandmoll...

⚡️NEW: U.S. Mercenary Firm Tied to Notorious Aid Scheme Is Recruiting for New Gaza Deployment UG Solutions, which provided security for Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, has been interviewing ex-soldiers for “robust security” operations. By Sharif Abdel Kouddous www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-ghf-u...

NEWS: Airlines raked in $157 BILLION of "ancillary" revenue last year off fees for bags, seat selection and other junk fees. Trump's Transportation Department - which is headed by former airline lobbyist Sean Duffy - is repealing consumer protection rules for airline customers.

As a part of the Miss Piggy generation, I just want to leave this right here. 😘

THREAD. One of the most damning flaws in the worldviews of essentially every pundit on MSNBC, columnist in the New York Times, peddler of "Abundance," and consultant for Democrats is that they downplay or ignore the repressive power of the punishment bureaucracy and associated industries.

Oligarchs executed a master plan to deregulate campaign finance & kill off anti-bribery laws so they could buy elections. Their elite panic about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is the oligarchy showing how afraid they are that their master plan is no longer working. LeverNews.com/book

A RAND study found $79 trillion was stolen from the bottom 90%. Red tape is bad & should be fought, but America's biggest problem is not red tape reducing abundance. America's biggest problem is oligarchs hoarding the abundance. Glad to be quoted with Bernie Sanders in NY Magazine.

In this election, the people have two separate but equally important choices: a city they can afford or the billionaire-backed politics of the past. Our new ad just aired during Law & Order.

In fact, Cuomo set up a "pass-through company" specifically to hide the names of his clients. What little we know was only revealed by investigative reporting. And it's not pretty.

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

Here's my full interview with Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com.

At @levernews.com, we do a lot of health care reporting. It is great to see it amplified by @lastweektonight.com Subscribe to The Lever’s free daily newsletter at LeverNews.com/daily — and please repost this.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

New York City is not for sale. Our new ad begins airing tomorrow.

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered. levernews.com/book

Joe Gebbia is the billionaire co-founder of AirBnB, a close friend of Elon Musk, and worked to gut the federal government with DOGE. And he just gave the single largest donation to Cuomo’s super PAC since the primary.

An important message to the people of New York City. More information at zohranfornyc.com/birthday

"More Than 200 Bodies Dug Out of the Gaza Rubble Since Ceasefire Went Into Effect"

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time. There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

The billionaire takeover of media is designed to shield oligarchs & politicians from accountability. It's a 50-year master plan detailed in never-before-seen documents that we're about to publish in our new book. We preview the documents today in The Guardian. Order the book: LeverNews.com/book

What stage of capitalism is this? “The airline industry is contesting a new FAA rule that would force airlines to address serious flaws in potentially thousands of Boeing 737 planes — and they have powerful industry-connected allies in the Trump administration.”
