US Senate candidates in 9 key races quiet about Social Security benefits cliff • Iowa Capital Dispatch

The less than 1% who want to repeal the Roadless Rule are the same billionaires and greedy corporations that are polluting and leeching off the USA. Hands off our forests.

Do y'all have an obvious favorite photo of your dog? Because I sure do, and it will forever be this one of him photobombing Devil's Tower lol.

native Texan here. I have strong opinions on this. - PEC or BEC are what you get when you're in (or headed to) a business meeting. why? - almost anything else is heavy on garlic (migas) or grease (chorizo) or gas (beans) - my man was meeting w A PRESIDENT - PEC is a safe and 100% Texan choice

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file. (Published May 2023)

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.
