When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.
It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

Exclusive: The U.S. government asked a judge to deport a man to Afghanistan, where he expects the Taliban to kill him. Legal experts say the case could have consequences for Afghans the U.S. rescued and promised to support.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.
I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.
If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

We're gonna need a complete teardown of the media, same as with the ballroom. And I say this as someone who has been part of that machine for many years. It's moldy all the way through. We have some wonderful independent pubs doing real work but everyone else needs to be tossed in the fucking bin
I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

I feel very strongly that the new stupid ballroom should *not* be torn down. I believe the next Dem President should, a week after taking office, have a Drag Queen Story Hour there, and then use it for a rotating exhibit of Black/Latin/East Asian/African/Queer art. We're going full troll, people.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

The silence of dem leadership on this (on all ice crimes, if we're honest) is horrifying. History will write them down as being so ineffectual that they became complicit. Shameful.

Howard Webb will go on TV & tell you a lie that you can easily disprove with the visual evidence right in front of you. And he does this while contradicting his prior comments about similar situations. If anyone at PGMOL remotely cared about their credibility he’d be gone. But they clearly don’t.

People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.
1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Trump has cracked down on universities and abducted student protestors. He sued news outlets over reporting he didn’t like. He cut off funding for public broadcasting because he thought it was biased against him.
We must fight back against all of Trump’s attacks on free speech.

Today, in front of the UN, Trump claimed “inflation has been defeated.”
He's lying.
Inflation is actually going up — particularly for groceries.
Remember when he promised to bring down prices on "day one"?
He lied about that too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EXi6xyOXSk

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.
When he feels humiliated, he lashes out.
Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.
