Texas mothers are dying, and instead of giving us answers, Abbott’s administration is hiding that data. Texans deserve the truth. They deserve transparency. And our state officials have a legal obligation to give it to them. I’m demanding the report be released immediately.

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.

🇺🇦👏💪A Ukrainian soldier who lost both arms in the war refused to give up on his dream. He opened his own pizzeria. His business is not only a personal victory, but also a powerful example of courage, determination, and an unbreakable spirit.

🚨 I admit, I wanted Rep. Jasmine Crocket to win the primary, but now people need to rally behind Talrico. Texans: for those who voted for Crockett in the primary, please vote for Talrico in the midterms, he can beat Paxton. You deserve better representation. youtube.com/watch?v=LUKC...

US intel: Putin may hit a NATO member… just to see if anyone shows up. Not an invasion. A test. A cyberstrike. A toe OVER the line. Enough to ask if 32 countries meant it. Friend, he is not guessing about our tanks. He’s guessing about our spine.

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Today's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: The world has Patriot missiles. What matters now is for our partners to make the political decision to provide the necessary packages. The United States knows what we need. Europe knows what we need. Anti-ballistic missiles must protect people – not sit in stockpiles.

Navalny, in prison: “I don’t for a second regret it… the only thing we should fear is we’ll surrender our homeland to be plundered by a gang of liars, thieves & hypocrites. That we will surrender without a fight, voluntarily, our own future and the future of our children.”

Don't forget that when Musk's DOGE boys ended their reign of terror they departed with everything their little laptops could carry- our personal data and info on EVERYTHING else in this country, including defense- a treasure trove for an enemy to buy.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.

Thou shalt not claim you are fighting fraud when you are the most corrupt leader of a country in the history of the entire world and it’s not close.

As a former Texan, I have to ask: what is the point of putting the Ten Commandments in every school classroom and simultaneously voting for a criminal, who seems to violate every one of them on a regular basis, to govern you?

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.

🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.

People don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into detention centers. They don't want billions of taxpayer dollars spent on a rogue police state. They want healthcare. They want affordable homes. They want their basic needs met.
