Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (again) and hands the GOP senators' butts to them.

Pathetic…..

WTF, CBS & all the rest of the so-called News agencies. Where is the investigative work? This is about Medicare Advantage insurers being paid more than traditional Medicare would have spent — a problem that has existed under multiple presidents - including Trump. share.google/xRgHaeYKuJNT...

For just a moment, the world saw their true nature. This is a real photo. F*cking chilling.

This country is falling apart and all Trump can think about is putting his name back on the Kennedy Center... Judge blocks Trump's name from Kennedy Center : NPR share.google/Igbq4EL1KouI...

I’m 100% against the Protect College Sports Act bill sponsored by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. This bill is harmful to all athletes, especially Black ones. And the HBCU portion of this bill is also a joke. Do NOT get played. This bill IS BAD FOR BLACK FOLKS! Call your US Senator and tell them to VOTE NO!

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Ya'll PLEASE tell me that you know this promise of a "Trump Dividend" is nothing but smelly BS. #TrumpDividend www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

This man delivers a no-bullshit takedown of Trump and his MAGA supporters, no fucks given. We should all be this mouthy and vocal. And I love his hat.

Protesters in Danbury are demanding ICE get out and to shut down operations. The Danbury community is not backing down. 62 fathers, sons, brothers, mothers, daughters, sisters taken in four days. Goons tasing neighbors, breaking windows, arresting parents in front of their children.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. This is a danger to us all.

A whistleblower has just confirmed our fears.

A heartbreaking tragedy. Driven by racism and cruelty. Historians looking back on this shameful period will wonder how this was allowed. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/springfield-ohio-haitian-student-dies-suicide-ice-mandates-ankle-monit-rcna595552

Last night's political earthquake in Michigan should make one thing very clear: it's time for Democrats to grow a spine and stop bending the knee to corporate donors.

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.” From the archives:

🚨 HAPPENING NOW 🚨 Women's Marchers have been arrested in the Capitol for standing vigil for the people killed by ICE. #AbolishICE llustrations by @channeldraw

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.

Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

THIS 👇 HERE, AS WELL.......

Hundreds of Haitian immigrants who have had Temporary Protected Status are being told by DHS to appear at ICE offices to be fitted with ankle monitors or face deportation. Haitian immigrants, many of whom have lived in the U.S. for over a decade, deserve a pathway to citizenship — not deportation.

We're organizing to get money out of politics — and we are WINNING.

People want to know: how can my landlord get away with jacking up the rent so much?

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

"I just cannot believe that no journalist stood up to demand that the President stop this outrageous attack on their colleague. What are you doing? What is wrong with you?" - @sifill.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

The Odyssey cost $250 million to make. Guess who got a tax break worth more than 30x that last year? Amazon—after firing 30,000 workers.

What Say You, MAGATS.......?

Everybody responsible for this violence and lawlessness must be held accountable and prosecuted. We demand ICE OUT and Justice for Lorenzo, Johan, Juan, and all victims of the ICE death machine. 🎥 @roanokeindivisible.bsky.social

In a buried report, oil regulators pinpointed nearly 600 wells operating illegally, threatening Oklahoma’s drinking water. Then there were 1,400+ wells that had operated for decades without any limits at all — grandfathered in from an earlier era. (Published March w/ @readfrontier.bsky.social)

We’ve seen this playbook before. And every time, it has been people organizing together that forced them to back down. We are strongest when we stand together. ICE OUT NOW. 🎥 @ktvufox2.bsky.social

The success of the U.S. vaccination system depends on two fundamental pillars: parents trusting in vaccines and children having access to them. Under RFK Jr., both are in peril. (Published March)

Judge Sullivan has given acting AG Todd Blanche 5 days to produce unredacted versions of some Epstein Files documents & proof that the reasons given for making the redactions were true. Here’s what’s significant about that: joycevance.substack.com/p/an-importa...

Watching members of the Washington press establishment laughing and socializing with senior administration officials at a moment like this perfectly captured why so many Americans have lost faith in corporate media. Our co-founder Ben gives his thoughts in his Sunday message:

“This is what cavorting with the enemy looks like. This communicates to many Americans that the media is in on the game—that it hasn’t merely failed to name and condemn Trump’s fascism but aids and abets it in order to maintain access to power.” www.americaamerica.news/p/can-legacy...

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: You can’t say that you want to make sure sex offenders and sex traffickers are behind bars and then vote for him. Every vote for Blanche is really a vote against survivors. If Thom Tillis wants to call, I’m happy to talk to him. We’ve been trying to get in touch

Speak Truth...

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

As the unfavorable comparison to a Black man whose presidency the rabidly racist Trump tried to delegitimize becomes starker,Trump’s unhinged meltdowns acclerate.

Donald Trump is the most anti-worker president we've ever had.

Billionaire Trump backer Jeffery Hildebrand’s Hilcorp runs old, low-producing “stripper wells,” and is one of the country’s largest emitters of methane, a greenhouse gas that can trap 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide. By @alexcuadros.bsky.social

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV
