I just heard Netanyahu say “There is no starvation in Gaza.” He is straight up lying. He has lost all credibility when he claims that his government’s official policy is just to destroy Hamas, not to wipe out the Palestinians as an ethnic group. Total bullshit. This is GENOCIDE pure and simple.

Three years ago today, Trump's far-right Supreme Court majority ended Americans' federal right to abortion under Roe v. Wade.
Since then, over 100 women have been denied emergency abortion care. Amber Nicole Thurman, 28, was one of them. Today, share her story.

Nowhere in the world to run: The international law ripping children from their mothers

AOC shuts down GOP outrage—calling out their arrogance, their condescension.
“I will not yield to disrespectful men.”
No apologies.
No deference.
Just straight fire.
And they couldn’t handle it.💥🔥🔥

On Wednesday, House Republicans voted to give up their power to stop the devastating impacts of Trump’s on-again-off-again global tariffs. Republicans will never stand up to Trump. We’ll be replacing them with women who will.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

As markets melt down around the world, Congress could act right now to prevent an economic collapse before markets open on Monday.
The only thing standing in the way is a few spineless Republicans.
