Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

Anytime a politician dies, my first thought is wondering how embarrassing Trump’s tweet about it is going to be.

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.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate:
Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.
In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.
We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.
