It shouldn’t be this hard to see a doctor. But it is because of the way insurance companies rig our system. Under Medicare for All, that would end. Healthcare stays private, but health insurance would be public and accessible to all. No premiums, no copays, no deductibles-and no rigging.

Israeli forces killed more Palestinians waiting for food at aid sites over the weekend, as it continues to starve the population of Gaza. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal — and we as a nation are complicit in this bloodbath. We must stop all military assistance to Israel.

Like most bullies, Trump can be constrained only if everyone stands up to his bullying. Protest. Go to town halls. Protect the vulnerable in your community. Keep speaking out. The fight against authoritarianism will take all of us — and we can't relent.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

If you refuse to see what is happening, the cancellation of the Colbert show should open your eyes. I want to explain to you what a censorship state looks like - where a corrupt government gives favors to media that suppresses criticism of the regime.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Yesterday’s announcement of the official call to action begins now. It is just after 6 am in California. We wait to see how many farmworkers join the #StrikeForDignity They asked for just three days, “They will not fire you”. They can say this bc they know no one can do what they do.

Netanyahu has been raising the specter of an Iranian nuclear weapon since at least 1995 and now is using that as an excuse to start a war. Almost all Iranians want freedom from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Despite what you might hear, tho, my people’s liberation will not come from foreign bombs.

Had jury duty this week. The defendant had committed five armed robberies WITH A MACHINE GUN. When asked what I think about firearms, I said: "I think the Second Amendment is one of the stupidest things America ever did, other than the way activist judge Antonin Scalia willfully misinterpreted it."

In 30 days, LGBTQ+ youth will lose the life-saving suicide hotline—a program that’s supported over 1.3 million young people. When folks are in crisis, this admin chooses cruelty over care—every time. But this is the party of “family values,” right?

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files
