A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

America, where the more things change, the more they stay the same. #FDT

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE!? Where is Congress? Where are they? I want to film this for my kids & my grandkids. I want them to see the day democracy died in Washington, D.C. Even George is upset 🦮 & we should all be shocked! No one is here to say this is wrong! I was born here. I'm Andrew Howard. 1/5🧵

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

We have the bill AND the bipartisan support to restore union rights for 1 million federal workers! It’s time to get it done. Tell your representatives: pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Trump is selling influence by the square foot. His billionaire donors helped fund his new $300 million White House ballroom, and together they hold $279 BILLION in federal contracts. It’s pay-to-play corruption at the highest level.

From health care to groceries to housing – the cost just to live is rising fast. But Trump is focused on ballrooms, billionaire tax cuts, and bailouts of foreign dictators. Let’s bring down these costs, starting by reversing disastrous policies that spike the cost of health care.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

The GOP’s blaming Democrats for the shutdown. If Democrats actually had that much power, you’d have paid parental leave and free insulin, not furloughs.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina. Make it make sense.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

22 million people could see their health insurance premiums spike if Congress doesn’t extend the ACA’s tax credits. Workers are already struggling to make ends meet, and can’t afford this health care crisis. Tell Congress: stop health care price spikes! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

Just tough it out. Try an intrauterine biopsy without anesthesia or sedation. Or only ibuprofen post-cesarean for pain management. Women’s healthcare is too often barbaric, you tough it out. Or better yet, try leaving medical advice to the experts. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMLyvr4T/

When we have whole communities without clean drinking water, should we commit millions of gallons to data centers? Should we exempt the nations largest oil & gas owner Diversified Energy Company from water pollution protections? Asking for 1.5 million West Virginians.

COLD HARD FACTS: 74% of political violence is perpetrated by far-right extremists. ONLY 4% is from left-wing extremism.

WTF. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6EKx7pj/

He seeks to rule by decree because he cannot govern within the law.

They do, they really do.

Yes, please stop.

Trump’s back at it - stealing valor & value. He fought to kill Biden’s Infrastructure Law, now he's bragging about the projects it funds. I’ve seen the road signs for years. Biden got it done. Trump is so desperate for an economic win, he's snatching credit from Joe. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

F*ck‼️ Fort Bliss Army base used for a WWII Japanese internment is now the nation's largest ICE detention center.

I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.

Sure, Jan. 🌮 ‘Peace deal between Rwanda/Congo is temporary. Egypt/Ethiopia, no deal on the table. Kosovo/Serbia, no evidence he was involved or that a major conflict was emerging. India/Pakistan: U.S. influence is disputed.’ He did drop a bomb on Iran, so I guess that’s one. ..

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans. Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

Phillip: The performance of this economy is actually factually, much worse than the performance of the economy just a year ago

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced today that it will begin phasing out its operations, following Congress’s recent decision to revoke previously allocated federal funding. CPB said it is initiating an “orderly wind-down” after nearly six decades.

Luke 18:16 quotes Jesus as saying: “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Also, do not vaccinate them against dangerous illness that otherwise could be avoided, for no other reason than “just because” and “you think I said so”’ #wv #westvirginia

Dow shares slumped after the chemical company reported its first quarterly loss in five years as trade and tariff uncertainties weighed on volumes

Q: Some of the ACA tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year. How important is it for Republicans to stop that from happening? HAWLEY: Well, if we don't, the cost of insurance is just going to explode. Explode for families, working people. Already the premium increases are unbelievable.

The 6 largest health insurance companies reported $31 billion in profits last year. Your reminder that health insurance companies make money by charging you for premiums, and then denying your claims. That’s $31 billion in denied claims. jacobin.com/2025/07/heal...

Tucked away in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is the requirement that all visitors to the US must pay $250 just to enter the country starting 1 October! For a family of 5 that's $1250! I doubt this will help America's crashing tourism business which is down 10% already since January

In West Virginia they canceled food delivery to food banks The food was already in trucks ready for delivery
