WARNING: The Ellison family is about to own CBS News AND CNN. A judge just cleared the deal. Closing: days away. When one family controls what tens of millions watch, democracy loses a watchdog. Independent media isn't a luxury. It's your last line of defense.

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.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

A win! Another court has blocked the Trump administration’s push to change mail-voting rules just weeks before the midterms. The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals denied the DOJ’s request to revive new USPS requirements for mail ballots, leaving the lower court’s injunction in place.

The word "socialism" is constantly thrown out at any attempt at social progress that challenges the rich and powerful. We hear it used today — but this fear-mongering tactic goes back much further than most of us realize. @hcrichardson.bsky.social shares an interesting history lesson.

$40 trillion in debt and not a thing to show for it. No high speed trains, no universal healthcare, no affordable housing, no food security, no decent retirement system, no low cost higher ed/trade schools, no decent roads, But we have billionaires and corporations getting tax welfare on our dime!
