Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth doesn’t want warriors committed to defending the flag. He wants ones who fight, first and foremost, under a cross.

As an environmentalist activist who reads EIS & EA’s and then writes about it and advocates with communities, 150 days is not enough time for public review. Many small organizations don’t have lawyers. This bill is bad for the people & our right to protect the environment and wilderness

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.

2026 was the hottest summer on record since records began in 1895. Shockingly, Republicans are trying to stop ALL federal heat safety protection regs-NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. HR6213 prohibits OSHA from creating or enforcing ANY national heat safety standard. Let's stop this! 1/

The U.N. was created as a forum to promote peace and cooperation through diplomacy and dialogue. President Trump's threat to "annihilate" Iran at the U.N. General Assembly is deeply shameful and unacceptable. Congress must exert its authority to rein in Trump's militarism and end this war now.
