70 yrs ago, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Ms. Parks’ defiance shook the foundations of segregation. Her bravery lit the path, sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott & the civil rights movement. As we honor her legacy, we must keep pushing back. The struggle for civil rights is far from over.

Matt Van Epps is speaking: Says Rep. Aftyn Behn "wants transgender surgery for minors without parental consent." (Editorial note: I am not aware she has said something like that, and it would be illegal to provide surgery without parental consent."

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Bombing vessels in the Caribbean without congressional authorization is already an unconstitutional use of military force.

We need answers on Trump’s Russia dealings, a real investigation into Hegseth's possible war crimes, and swift action to protect the ACA.
We also have 9 bills to finish to keep the government open. No time for ridiculous Republican distractions.

Everyone saw this coming.
Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH.
And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.

Basically Trump’s defense on the double strike boat murder is that it didn’t happen, but if it did it was all Hegseth.

Someone needs to say it. Trump 2028 isn’t happening.
We know the presidency ages you, and we’re witnessing his rapid decline. His approval is buried in the 30s, and his stamina is gone. He won’t be able to vigorously campaign.
He can pretend 2028 is inevitable, but everyone can see the truth.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.
It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.
