Apple and Google have immense power to shape what content is available on our smartphones. When they cave to government pressure to remove certain apps, politicians get to shape how we communicate.

We should be in control of what happens on our own phones — not the government or corporations.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

I was looking for some information on how to build a driver in Rhapsody OS and I accidentally ran across this GitHub github.com/RhapsodiOS/R... Where a developer named raynorpat is trying to patch Darwin 0.3 source to create a Rhapsody OS replacement. How delightful.

Texas politicians are attempting to create unfair voting districts to hold onto power.

Voters pick their elected leaders, not the other way around.

DOGE has seized access to huge troves of sensitive personal and national security information – and can’t even set up its own website securely.

When DOGE fails to protect that data, it puts us all in danger.

@repstansbury.bsky.social, @connolly.house.gov and I are pushing back.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Pfizer’s cancer drug commercial was beautiful, but their breast cancer drug Ibrance costs $10k per month and their prostate cancer drug Xtandi costs $22k per month.

Beautiful commercials don’t change the fact that 42% of cancer patients exhaust their life savings in 2 years.

TikTok is back up, but it is extremely frustrating that Donald Trump was the originator of blocking the platform and now he gets celebrated for bringing it back. This is corruption.
