US Senators get paid sick leave and healthcare for life Mitch McConnell disappeared for 90 days and never had to worry about getting a paycheque or paying his medical bills Senators should be given exactly what they give their constituents. In Mitch’s case, that’s no healthcare

After nearly two years of economic failure and broken promises, JD Vance’s midterm pitch these closing weeks is “give us another chance.” The American people cannot afford another round of this - and the good news is we don’t have to.

Mike Johnson sending the House home to avoid a vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment is a cowardly disgrace…and another reminder why these anti-democratic, pro-war, pro-Trump, Epstein file coverup enablers and Republican failures need to be sent home permanently.

ICE went to a nightclub in Memphis around 1 AM and reportedly loaded more than 100 people onto buses and vans.
We are at the point where federal immigration agents can descend on a space in the middle of the night, detain masses of people, and leave families scrambling to figure out where their loved ones were taken.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

The Constitution gives states and Congress authority over federal election rules, not the president. An emergency declaration does not magically give the executive branch the power to rewrite election laws, impose nationwide voting requirements, or bypass Congress.
