Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Fascism has festered in our nation since its inception. In slavery, in Jim Crow, in capitalism—it’s morphed to survive, to build, to dominate. But all that time, freedom has grown too; America has progressed and the world has connected. We are more ready for this than ever before. Good will win.

"Don’t let anyone tell you Maxwell was a bystander or just Epstein’s pawn. She was an active predator, a planner, a participant. A woman who used her privilege, her access, and her power to destroy young girls’ lives. And now they’re giving her comfort?" open.substack.com/pub/levremem...

open.substack.comBREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell Moved to Club Fed — Just Like I Warned YouThe cover-up has begun. Ghislaine gets comfort — the victims get silence. And just like I warned you, the plan is unfolding in real time.

The fact that Republicans are unfazed that Donald Trump is giving special treatment to a woman who ran this country’s most notorious pedophile ring on behalf of its most notorious serial pedophile is the latest sign of the GOP’s complete moral rot.

Elevate the Truth: If Biden had fallen asleep during a major conference like our current president did yesterday, the mainstream media would have been all over it like sharks in bloody water. How does such a vile human get a pass for every incompetent and ugly behavior like no one else?

I just voted NO to advance Trump's DOGE cuts to PBS, rural radio, and lifesaving aid. Republicans need to decide: Does Congress decide how to spend taxpayer dollars, or do they just take orders from Russ Vought?

This seems like a big damn deal??!! Are these private agreements or part of the US defense/foreign affairs?

The "Big Beautiful Bill" gives ICE the 3rd-largest military budget in the world. Trump's turning it into his personal police force, free from oversight. Camps, raids, mass arrests—he even said "homegrowns" are next. This isn't immigration policy. It's authoritarianism.

Elevate the Truth: Our debt goes from $35 trillion to $60 trillion: the interest is more than our military budget. ICE budget goes from $3.5 billion to $45 billion. Children & the sick lose support. Billionaires get more in their pockets. I am a Democrat against the Debt and Deficit. Wanna join me?

Jeffries ends his nearly 9 hour speech by quoting MLK and saying, "We're gonna press on until victory is won. I yield back." "John would've been proud," Terri Sewell tells him.

Some people are working on gathering at the Capitol steps to show support for Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York. If you can’t be there in person, you can still show your support from wherever you are.

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

Yeah, Democracy was rough. Not having neighbors rounded up & sent to concentration camps, not wasting $200 mn on a futile bombing raid, not forcing the military to put on a parade for his birthday, not kicking millions off healthcare so oligarchs could pay less tax, not killing cancer research ..

This is AWESOME—earlier today, people from @planetoverprofit.org protested Peter Thiel’s Palantir by blocking the doors to the company’s NYC Office while chanting: “Say it once, say it twice, Palantir works with ICE!”

Breaking: Activists are blocking the doors of Palantir’s NYC Office. Palantir is the mass surveillance company building the technology ICE is using to abduct our neighbors here in NYC. NEW YORKERS MUST REJECT PALANTIR AT EVERY TURN.

You know who is being hurt by cuts to the VA and the suicide hotline? People like Ronn — who served our country in Vietnam and is a disabled veteran due to his exposure to Agent Orange.

Ukraine, Lévy argues, is Europe’s bulwark against an imperialistic Russia that would have likely swept over Georgia and Moldova, and would be threatening the Baltics and Eastern Europe, had it not been stopped by heroic Ukrainian resistance.

Zohran Mamdani’s win goes well beyond NYC. It’s a sign of where our country stands, of where we want to go, of what we want our future to hold. Our government will no longer be owned by billionaires and corporations—it will serve the people. This is only just the beginning of a national movement.

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care. It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

politico.comRepublican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday professionOne GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

People are pissed this morning because we exposed Peter Thiel. We’re under constant attack, but that’s expected. The greatest threat to the Trump administration is an informed public. That’s why they rely on secrecy and distraction. But we won’t look away.

Fun fact: Democratic women make up only 22% of the House of Representatives, but have submitted 52% of the 537 amendments to this heartless reconciliation package. We’re almost 20 hours into this rules debate and still bringing the heat 🔥 and the heart ❤️ to this fight!
