Without a bipartisan budget agreement, health care premiums will double on January 1, 2026, for 90% of the people covered by the Affordable Care Act. On the same day, the GOP’s reconciliation bill will make tax breaks for the super-wealthy permanent.

In America, speaking freely is a bedrock right that matters deeply to us all. So when pundits and politicians vilify dissenters, I have to ask "Why?" This isn't patriotism -- its control. You don’t defend democracy by silencing it. Speak up! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/IajADcM9

This government shutdown is on Republicans for refusing to negotiate. Democrats must continue to hold the line to protect our healthcare.

Just because you get a deal, doesn’t mean it is a good deal for America. Right now, a Japanese car is subject to a lower tariff than a car made in Canada, with American parts and some American labor.

Iran is bad actor, no question. During my time in Iraq I saw that firsthand. But the real problem moving forward isn’t what a successful strike looks like, it’s what happens next. The real problem is getting into another forever war.

A big win! A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just blocked the Trump administration’s push to move forward with massive layoffs. The court denied the government’s request to overturn a lower court ruling, meaning the layoffs can’t happen, for now.

The corporate media is so easily manipulated. The Medicaid cuts are less "drastic" cause ONLY 14 m lose insurance. Tariffs were slashed because they are only 30 percent. Were they always this easily manipulated? is the stenography laziness or fear?
