Schumer led Senate Democrats in fighting Trump over healthcare, period.

If you think Senate leaders can control members of their caucus, you don’t know much about the Senate. And before you say “McConnell,” remember why we still have the ACA when Trump and McConnell wanted it gone.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

It's another example of the president’s ongoing cognitive decline caught on video. Trump appeared to forget where he was going and left the Japanese Prime Minister behind as she watched him, clearly confused. trib.al/Nc0YdZD

I’ve been regularly volunteering at a food bank for about a year and please, if you want to help, consider donating cash.

For $3, they can provide 15 meals and what they can do with the money you might spend on a few cans can be converted to vastly more in fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, or meat.

I constantly draw strength from the fact that my parents grew up when it was worse than this. When white people were lynching people in the streets and bombing Black churches and integrated schools. And they still did not live in fear. My parents thrived, loved, and lived. And I can too.

I have no patience for folks who refuse to give any credit or credence to right-wingers who are beginning to understand and regret their support for TrumpCo. This is NOT the time for ideological purity or superiority. This is all hands on deck.

I think all they’ve really managed to do this week is encourage more people to turn out for the No Kings protests.

Being underwater on every issue before July is pretty impressive.
