James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

October's jobs report looked awful because about 150,000 govt jobs vanished after that Musk 'fork in the road' email. That's a one-time shock. The bigger concern is that even outside October, job growth has slowed across both public and private sectors -- and may even be going backward.

Rob Reiner devoted his life to entertaining us and fighting to make the world a better place. We will honor his memory by continuing to show up for our democracy.

Our hearts are with everyone who loved Rob and Michele Singer Reiner.

“Why should I care if criminals are killed?” I see this comment everywhere. Here’s why it matters: these boat strikes aren’t war, they’re law enforcement. When the government can execute people without trial, the rule of law collapses. Due process protects Americans and U.S. service members.

Kamlager-Dove: Biden put together a very restrictive plan around selling these chips to other countries. And Republicans were saying, “Hey, Biden, you’re not protecting our national security.” Fast forward to Trump, and he’s selling these things like you sell Snickers on the corner.

Andy, we have gone through this in our family. Thank you for speaking so eloquently for millions of Americans. We are with you.
A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.

Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.

I hope you’ll join me.

Michigan’s secretary of state race is one of the most important in the country. With the seat open, extremists are already circling. We need a Democrat protecting voting rights in this battleground. Chip in what you can or just pass it along. Every bit helps.

Please watch this.

The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill.

You need to know this, so you can help stop it.

"We've seen the early stages of what economists call stagflation. The '-flation' part is inflation, and you've all felt that at the grocery store. The 'stag-' part is stagnation, which is we've got rising unemployment and slower economic growth than we otherwise would have."

Phang: It is a fundamental premise of the law that there is no requirement that a criminal defendant be forced to testify to explain away the government’s evidence. Hallagan went to law school and knows better, but she’s so stupid that she made that misstatement of the law to the grand jury.
