This is why the Senate Democrats are holding firm against the Republicans. They are trying to save our healthcare.

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

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

The special election is required because an insane MAGA murdered the state rep, Melissa Hortman, and her husband at their home. Keep this in mind when talking about turning down the rhetoric and where it originates.

The Associated Press, AFP, BBC News & Reuters issued this joint statement about journalists in Gaza today with alt text:
We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world’s eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering.   Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them. We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there. Joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
