Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

People will die. 😔

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

Macaulay Culkin posted a tribute to Catherine O’Hara….I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥺🙏

Don Lemon was also arrested. This is so wrong.

THE MONEY FUNDING MASKED ICE AGENTS 👇 IS THE SAME MONEY THAT COULD’VE FUNDED #MEDICAID FOR MEDICALLY COMPLEX AND DISABLED CHILDREN

Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."

TODAY, an ICE agent killed a person ONGOING, ICE is using #Medicaid records to further terrorize families while expanding their mass deportation efforts

We can't believe we have to say this so early in 2026, but here we go: VACCINES WORK. VACCINES SAVE LIVES.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits. If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Almost no jobs have been added to the American economy since April. In fact, 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024. More thoughts on today's dismal jobs report — and what it means for America's affordability crisis.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

BREAKING: 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims are urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Adelita Grijalva. STOP IGNORING THE EPSTEIN VICTIMS!

the tone deafness is beyond parody

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office. Why the delay from Mike Johnson? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

For the last several months, federal workers have been through hell. Things have only gotten worse during the shutdown. When I left the Department of Labor, I shared some parting words with the civil servants who worked alongside me. These words of gratitude feel especially relevant today.

5.5 million Californians could have empty tables on November 1, but it doesn't have to be this way. Congressional Republicans could come to the bargaining table instead of refusing to discuss their catastrophic cuts to Medicaid, ACA subsidies, and SNAP itself. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Swear her in!!!

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

The cuts and job loss penalties in the Republican budget aren't just a threat to the 71M Americans who count on #Medicaid. They're also a threat to the future of democracy as Congressional Republicans hold our health care hostage during the government shutdown. prismreports.org/2025/09/29/b...

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Mike Johnson refusing to swear her in: "The excuses depending on the day keep changing ... the timing is the fact that I am the 218th signer to the discharge petition for the Epstein files"

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

The murders of Charlie Kirk and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman are part of a dangerous rise in political violence. We cannot accept this as the norm. We must do whatever we can to reduce the anger and hate that are consuming and destroying so much of the country.

Emma was born at 27 weeks, fought through 110 days in the NICU & now thrives at home thanks to Medicaid. From tube feeds to therapy, Medicaid keeps her safe & growing. Spend a day with Emma’s family & see why this care is vital → littlelobbyists.org/emmas-story-...

Cory Booker: "You cannot say that you're about making America healthy again when you are doing so much to hurt people's access to healthy foods -- like suspending nutrition programs -- to healthcare itself, and also making our environment so much less healthy."

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be? LADAPO: Absolutely not T: You didn't even do a projection? L: It's an issue of right & wrong
