Republicans are helping banks rip people off and no one should be surprised. But if you don’t want this to pass in the House, call your member and tell them to put the interest of people over banks.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I agree that the Democrats desperately need to pay attention to how Zelenskyy recognized that groveling and moderation get you nowhere with the fascist demons squatting in the White House right now.
There’s nothing he could’ve done that would’ve been “enough,” he would have the same outcome plus be seen as groveling. Dems should take note.

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly.
And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

We, via our chosen representatives, created US AID, the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, NIH, and NOAA. Any action to shut or defund them disregards our will and is a direct attack on our role and power as voters. It’s a coup. We’re the target.
