Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

Ten years ago we’d call it that here too. This country has devolved into some hellhole I don’t recognize. We need to rip out the racism at its roots.
Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

I’ve been an RN for over 13 years. This man is usually parked in a wc by the nurses’ station, given a newspaper, paper, pen and asked to write Letters to the Editor. I’ve taken care of this man 1mil times. I can’t be mad at him anymore, he is not there. Who is in charge?

Reporters shouted to ask what he was doing up there and he said he was "taking a little walk." He said something about the White House ballroom and made some gestures but it's not really making a ton of sense yet. Normal stuff

Public media has been defunded. Your support keeps journalists on the ground, lifts unheard voices, and connects communities.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Now. Is. The. Only. Time.
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

RFK Jr leading HHS is a disgrace.

Kennedy isn’t interested in truth—he selectively misuses data to push his false beliefs. Even those with a basic understanding of data analysis can see through his distortions. His rhetoric isn’t just misleading; it makes him a public health menace.
