Blue Cross Blue Shield is being sued as a monopoly after the state found it's been in a conspiracy to restrict access to healthcare. Corporations should not have this much power. We need money out of politics, money in our pockets, and Medicare for All.

Hawaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

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.

Can’t believe our tax dollars are being used for political ads. The White House is now airing a taxpayer-funded ad during commercial breaks on Fox News. The 30-second spot has all the markings of a campaign ad, except the disclaimer at the bottom says: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

As if they weren't bad enough, AI data centers — which Trump strongly supports — could drive a surge in "forever chemical" production. And that's after Trump's EPA already approved new forever chemical pesticides and rolled back limits on them in our drinking water. "Make America Healthy Again."

Gloria Steinem's essays, organizing, and institutions like Ms. magazine reshaped American life for women. She understood that progress would provoke resistance, because, as she so eloquently put it... "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off."

Gloria Steinem, Personification of the Feminist Movement, Dies at 92
She challenged sexist assumptions, helping women develop a sense of self-worth and gain a measure of equality at work, at home and in society at large.

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

Make no mistake—this is Mike Rogers' position on data centers. He's got up to $2.6 million invested in companies cashing in on the data center boom, all while Michiganders watch their utility bills soar.

Does anyone else feel like the child whose parents are in an abusive relationship? The republican congress is the abused parent that won’t leave, and Trump is the abusive parent. American citizens are the children that can’t do a thing about it.😩 #ConvictedFelonTrump #Amendment25

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

I just called Rep Moolenaar’s office. The clerk Jeff tried to tell me that it didn’t matter that Trump is defying the supreme court’s ruling because the man is in El Salvador. He also said he didn’t think Trump said he wants to send home grown people there. I called out his bullsh$t. Unbelievable!

Who decides What was “Too Much” in the COVID-19 response? Who Is Missing From the Debate? The first group that is missing is the millions who died. The second group is the many millions more who are suffering from long COVID or related complications. www.psychologytoday.com/ie/blog/feve...

Who Decides What Was “Too Much” in the COVID-19 Response?
Who’s missing from the COVID-19 debate? More than a million dead, and millions more with lasting damage. Survivor bias may distort how we judge past policies—and how we plan for the next crisis.
