Why is BBC reporting "there is lots of frustration with Zelenskyy around the world, which explains Trump's being mad with Ukraine" I have a Q: will you report it exactly like this when Trump is yet again "mad" with the UK leading you into full ultra right submission that will close down your shop?

Semafor reports Trump is “furious” and wants to cut off Ukraine intelligence. All would be funny, if he didn’t do that already. What hurts me the most is the fuckery around it all. People are getting slaughtered. Media is hunting “leaks from unknown sources”, intelligence pauses, Starlink hiccups

Farmers over billionaires is about standing up to the power of the biggest corporations. The system is rigged for the big agribusinesses and the big food manufacturers who are feeding our kids ultra-processed foods.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

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.

It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

This is who Dolly Parton was. ❤️ “My dad couldn’t read and write, so I wanted to do something to make him feel part of something special.” So she did. Dolly turned her love for her dad into the Imagination Library, putting more than 330 MILLION books into the hands of children.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.

Ask every Democrat if they support Supreme Court reform, and if they don't, you primary them or support someone who does. That's it. Without the Supreme Court, we get nothing.
