Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

It’s ridiculous when a crooked politician dismisses a scandal by citing how long ago they scammed the taxpayers. Just because Susan Collins faces “7-year-old allegations“ doesn’t mean Mainers should shut off their brains and let her keep scamming.

PSA: If you have an older base level Mac DO NOT update to the new Mac OS. It's packed with AI stuff and it might very well just overload your storage. I've been wrestling with it for two days and am going to have to wind back to the previous OS just so I can use my computer.

A remarkable cover. I wouldn't say that Jim Crow was dead and buried. But in the semi-recent past, it wasn't being actively, openly, and enthusiastically institutionalized as it is today.

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts Court. Our September + October cover story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

They left Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the decoy plane that was in danger of getting shot down. But they made sure to rescue the lady who does the 3 am posts that show Trump and Jesus storming Iwo Jima together

Weird, it's almost like these "prediction markets" are just the random bets of inveterate gamblers who are reacting to breaking news without any actual insight or skill

So to recap, the WI Gov Dem primary prediction markets: A) failed to capture the closeness of the final result B) failed to capture movement towards the winner C) saw wild swings related to topline vote changes instead of the bigger picture trajectory election analysts could see

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

Reminder: there's NO legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, specualtion, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called CLARITY Act, a bill backed by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse.

If you’re a man who still supports Trump in 2026, it’s because you’re deeply ashamed of your penis. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight — the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes 🍇 address to pursue his 6yo grievances about the 2020 election while his war spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise.”
