DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

LANDSMAN: You've cut healthcare by nearly $1t & now you're gonna cut the EPA by 50%. ZELDIN: I hear from Americans across the country happy to get more back in their tax return LANDSMAN: You don't talk to folks. That really isn't true. Nobody is saying 'thank you' for cutting their healthcare

Congress was built to be a check on power, not a spectator. But the quiet we’re seeing both here and abroad speaks volumes. We can’t pretend we didn’t see it. History is already taking notes. Make sure your name isn't on the list of people who stayed quiet.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

bit.ly/4t7G2EU President Donald Trump promised to cut Americans’ electricity bills in half, but costs have increased. It’s becoming an aggravating issue for voters, even deep in Trump country where some fed-up West Virginians are paying more for power than mortgages.

Melania Trump: The lies linking me with Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. I've never been friends with Epstein. I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell. My email reply to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence.

I am not sure why Melania Trump decided to make a statement about Jeffrey Epstein seemingly out of nowhere today, but if the idea was to put the ongoing coverup in the rearview mirror it will backfire spectacularly

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with the dumbest, most corrupt president ever in power is a bit like celebrating a wedding anniversary after your spouse murdered all your children and drained your bank accounts.

#TrumpTrainWreck Most of the Australian TV stations are currently running news reports about Insider trading after suspicious market moves minutes before Trump's statement about pausing the bombing of Iran. This bears investigation here in the US.

This case was one of those that really blew my mind. When I was a kid, I remember my parents had very conservative friends that we would vacation with sometimes and they would only allow me to watch the Cosby show because it was so wholesome. I wonder what they would say if they were still alive

Remember the conspiracy theory about Trump being a Russian plant! Given everything that has gone on in the past 4 years, this now seems more plausible. The Russians plan for the long haul. They think in terms of decades. It makes sense to me. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

My son got sick. I took him to the doctor. I have insurance from my company. Cigna. I “saved” $125.20 by going to an in-network provider. Amount I still owe = $134.80. #healthcare #merica

I definitely have cabin fever now from being inside all weekend with the flu. Can’t wait to go outside again.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise. The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo

Got the flu from my kid. Today was hell and I felt like I was going to die. But I’m feeling much better now. And I’m glad I didn’t die. 😅

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
