House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is a trailblazer, a fierce fighter for working families and children, and a principled leader. Her service has changed America for the better.

Every Republican during the senate hearing today gave RFK jr. several chances to not sound like an unhinged lunatic.

To his credit, RFK jr. never once took the bait.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.
A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

If there weren’t, there would be more to be worried about the state of the party.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

Column: The real value of Trump’s grift, er, gift, of a Qatari jet could be what it reveals to Americans about the brazenness of his global grab for wealth & its trappings. Crypto & foreign deals are eye-glazing; he's made it easy to fathom his corruption.

Column: Will the Qatar gift to Trump fly?
Crypto is complex, and branding deals are almost subtle, but who can miss what's going on when a foreign government offers the president a $400-million jet for 'free'?

Trump reaches a “deal” to pause the tariffs he imposed on China. I guess all those manufacturing jobs aren’t coming here now, the tariffs won’t replace income taxes, and all the other amazing things they were supposed to do for us are over. So much for Liberation Day.

If this doesn’t break your heart you are a truly evil person.

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:
< Jaime Montana Cook is at Sackets Harbor Central School. 5h • Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe. We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not "being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims." Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal Sackets Harbor, NY

SC Republicans tried to sell working families a “tax cut” that would instead raise taxes on 60% of us—just to hand millionaires a $31K break. The backlash was so bad, that even hard-core GOP lawmakers bailed. This wasn’t a “flat tax”. It was flat-out nonsense.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Joe Wilson voted to take health care from 139,995 South Carolinians. Now that Congress is in recess, is he spending time listening to them? Nope, instead he’s hiding behind tele-town halls like it’s 2005. You won't get away that easy Joe, come face the people you work for. #SC02 #SCPol
