Keep fighting the good fight.
When someone's local hospital closes, they won't "get over it."
 
When someone's nursing home closes, they won't "get over it."
 
When someone's kid is kicked off health care, they won't "get over it."
 
America, let these Republicans know you will NOT "get over" cuts to Medicaid.

Be a Mister Rogers. Wear comfy shoes. Celebrate kindness. Sow affirmations. Save time for make-believe. Sing silly little songs. Testify before a senate subcommittee about the importance of quality public broadcasting. Feed fish. Love sweaters.

Think of where we could be now…
America, you f**ked up!

She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy.

Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

Thank you, Senator Booker.

Bingham started doing these drawings two days after the fires began. She realized she couldn’t afford to donate to all of her friend’s recovery funds. So she put out a call on Instagram asking people to send her pictures of their homes, which she'd draw for free. via @kcrw.com

JUST IN: The U.S. added 256,000 jobs in December, surpassing expectations and bringing the total for 2024 to 2.2 million. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, and wages grew 3.9% over the past year, far outpacing inflation.

Yes, please. Doctor offices don’t provide a statement of charges, so it a waiting game with the insurance company. I would love an estimate before walking in to an appointment. Why should we be at the mercy of the medical and insurance industry for something that should be a human right?

Since they vilify government all day every day, here’s a reminder of “50 ways government works for us”👇🏽🇺🇸

Government is not the enemy. It’s not about “Big Government”, it’s about good government.

Elect people who believe in it, not the ones who seek to destroy it.
