BREAKING: A woman in Georgia just got ARRESTED for having a miscarriage. Charged with “concealing a dead body” because she didn’t call the cops fast enough. This is what happens when you let forced-birth extremists make the laws.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Leaders are emerging. We are seeing the way forward and the voices who will lead us. From AOC to midwestern governors what matters is their connection to our reality and courage to fight for us. And they don’t need to hold certain positions to lead, we just need to elevate their voices and help.
Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky sharply disagreed with a decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom of California to host Steve Bannon on Newsom’s new podcast this week, saying Bannon’s voice should not be elevated “on any platform ever, anywhere.”
Andy Beshear Slams Gavin Newsom for Having Steve Bannon on Podcast
“I don’t think we should give him oxygen on any platform — ever, anywhere,” the Democratic governor of Kentucky said of President Trump’s former chief strategist.

i take him at his word that he wants to win, the interesting thing to me is when his strategy fails — and it has failed, multiple times — he just pretends it was never tried

In South Korea, where MPs blocked the doors of parliament with furniture so troops couldn't thwart the vote to overturn martial law, they remember dictatorship. They understand democracy is fragile, and worth fighting for. Americans don't get it. They're complacent.

Harris had moderate stances on every major issue and Trump's are insane, what are we even doing here
Of the three presidential campaigns against Trump, two (2016 and 2024) made elaborate appeals to centrists at the expense of their relationship with progressives, and only one (2020) prioritized efforts to bridge the gap with progressives, however impermanently. The latter approach won.

REPORTER: Can you say unequivocally that down the line, there won't be cuts to Medicaid programs?
