Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

Americans overwhelmingly oppose the U.S. entering into war with Iran. The U.S. government should work to deescalate the crisis, prevent a full blown war, and not escalate tensions that put our national security at risk. sign.moveon.org/petitions/no...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Lots of great non-Starbucks options for your coffee! Pay them a visit until the greedy Starbucks owners decide to treat their workers with dignity.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

One of President Donald Trump's top advisors felt that a 65-year-old activist in northern Virginia was trying to threaten them by distributing pamphlets to their neighbors, so they had the activist's phone seized and searched, according to a new report.

The GOP premium increases are going to devastate Florida. @smith.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov and I are headed there Monday to make sure Floridians know what’s coming if Democrats don’t win this fight.

This is not a ceasefire. Trump took a premature victory lap without the underlying issues (including Netanyahu s full buy in and Hamas disarmament) being solved. He sold us on something that didn’t really exist.
BREAKING: Israeli strikes overnight in Gaza have killed at least 60 people, including many children, local hospital officials say.

Trump bungled China policy so badly he had to run to Xi to beg forgiveness and surrender. Everyone knows it. In the "deal", America gets nothing, not even a return to status quo. Trump has now totally abandoned his promise to "get tough" on China.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social discusses how new voices in the Democratic Party have shaped its vision in the past and how they must lead towards the future.

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

No, President Trump. Forcing seniors with traditional Medicare to get prior approval from AI companies before they can receive the health care they need won’t make America healthy again. It will make AI companies even richer by denying care to seniors. DON’T CUT MEDICARE.

Trump can't militarize the capital city to distract us from his refusal to release the Epstein file. Today @eleanornorton.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, @vanhollen.senate.gov and I are introducing legislation to end Trump’s hostile and lawless takeover of D.C.’s police force.

Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them. It’s up to all of us to vote for leaders in every election who will make our healthcare system better, not undermine it. Call your member of Congress and hold them accountable.

5/ His family gets in on the grift too. His son is opening a new private club in DC - with a $500,000 entry fee. Donald Jr. markets it as the place to meet with his father's Cabinet. They don't even hide the access game, naming it "The Executive Branch".
