Nixon had a gap in the tape recordings because of an alleged Rosemary Woods error; what is Halligan s excuse for a gap in the Comey grand jury recording? Very suspicious.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

After Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 4 Michigan insurers are dropping out of the ACA marketplace altogether. That’s 200,000 Michiganders who just lost their plans.

Trump’s freefall in the polls is no aberration. There are thousands of stories like this for every one we see on social media.

Trump lured Lauren Boebert to an in-person meeting in the Situation Room, instead of calling her on the phone, because he knew all her electronic devices would be confiscated before entry, so she couldn't record anything embarrassing or incriminating.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

After 40 days of a shutdown, the Senate deal does nothing to address the cuts to or cost of Americans’ healthcare.
That’s unacceptable.
I’ve been ready to work on and vote for a deal that ends the shutdown and makes life better for Oregonians, but that’s just not what this is.

A colossal political disaster in the making. This is the Democrats Dunkirk.
Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

A colossal political disaster in the making. This is the Democrats Dunkirk.
THIS exactly. Compromise works when it’s mutual. This isn’t. This is just caving.
Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.
