#MorningVibe The Monroe Township High School Treble Choir’s performance of “What Happens When a Woman” by Alexandra Olsavsky is felt in your bones. An anthem of women’s strength, agency, and rising together voice by voice. Full. Body. Chills. 🎶

Talarico tells, and shows, Texans exactly what it means to be a man. “I’m writing this because I’m a man, and I’m beyond sick and tired of the stilted, downright pathetic ways manhood and masculinity are being defined by bozos who were never taught humility.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

usatoday.comTalarico gets what it means to be a man. His critics don't. | OpinionJames Talarico’s GOP opponent Ken Paxton and other Republicans have pushed the issue of manliness and masculinity to the forefront of the campaign.

The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote. Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple. Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara. Powerful ad by Interfaith Alliance — a plea for humanity.

Fuck Disney. Let's put up demands for Sinclair first: - a personal apology to the show - a description on where they failed free speech - a meaningful personal donation to free speech institutions chosen by Kimmel and his team

🔥🔥🔥 Rep. Horsford torches the MAGA House Republicans' spending bill and names it the "Screw America Bill." The GOP is cutting health care for 14 million people. And, they are taking food assistance away from millions of kids, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities!

They lie about everything!!! After Trump and Rubio claimed they mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, India’s foreign ministry contradicted them, saying the ceasefire was arranged directly between the two countries.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

“A huge number of Americans do not have access to computers. They have a smartphone or they have low levels of education or English proficiency. You’re talking about people with disabilities. The whole idea of serving the people is to give people a choice.” - SSW President Nancy Altman

In the Kentucky 1st, where I'm from, 1/3 of all people under 5, including nearly half of all kids, get their coverage through Medicaid. Cutting Medicaid is cutting care for our friends, our families, our neighbors. New from @americanprogress.bsky.social:

House Republicans haven't yet specified *how* they'd cut the $880B from Medicaid they committed to, but there's no way to get there without massive coverage losses. New from CAP: how many people are enrolled in Medicaid by district for the 119th Congress. www.americanprogress.org/article/medi...
