I am excited (and a bit nervous) about the elections taking place tomorrow. I think that we need to see record-setting turnout and strong wins by Mamdani (NYC), Spanberger (VA), Sherrill (NJ), and Prop 50 (CA). The future of our democracy hangs in the balance!

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.

And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

Most mornings, I listen to an historian who explains the history behind our daily political headlines. I have enjoyed her astute analysis of where must push to preserve this fragile democracy that we have taken for granted for far too long. I encourage each of you to give her a listen or a read.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.

They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.

Why? Because they don't want it to work.

Didn’t he make up a false story about @josephrbidenjr.bsky.social use of autopens to sign pardon documents? This is deflection and distraction!
Trump claims he didn’t sign the proclamation used to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — but his signature is right there in the Federal Register. So… who is signing these things? And is that even legal? And did he sign any of these executive orders either?

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.

In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

With all of the craziness in the world, sometimes we need to take a best for self care. Take a deep breath, go for a walk, bend and stretch … and then get back in the fight!

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?

Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.

Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.
