That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

McConnell says people will “get over” cuts to Medicaid. People don’t GET OVER illnesses, the need for medical care or the closure of rural clinics and hospitals. The wealthy should GET OVER their obsession with money.

Trump is escalating his war against American higher education and against the rest of the world. We will be the worse for this. Why? Because ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny. robertreich.substack.com/p/what-i-t…

Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped because she expressed an opinion that Donald Trump doesn't like. We're demanding that she be released, her visa restored, and her rights to due process & free speech respected.

I simply want President Biden to march into the Brady Press Room and pound the podium demanding Congress pass the CR and not shut down the government. I want him and Harris on Capitol Hill pushing in person. If he’s worried about his legacy, letting it end on an unnecessary shutdown isn’t helping.
