MAGAs are about to learn how the ballot box works. We’ve been registering first-time voters across the country and they’re ready.
Yes, your vote matters. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t be working so hard to convince you it doesn’t.

The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires.
Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.

If you’re wondering what it’s like officials are already referring to it as a “camp,” concentrating people in one remote area… surrounded by alligators, apparently.

Like we said yesterday: speak out and you’re fired. The Trump administration has made it clear, if you report wrongdoing, you’ll be fired. A senior Justice Department official, Emil Bove III, told staff he was willing to ignore court orders to push Trump’s deportation agenda.

Republicans overturned Roe v. Wade 3 years ago and it's been chaos ever since.
Women should not have to plead to get the medical care they need, and they should not be denied life-saving care just because a guy in a suit thinks it's wrong. Abortion bans kill women.

Trump is now accusing a federal judge of “lawless defiance” because the judge refused to greenlight deporting eight migrants to South Sudan, a country they’ve never lived in, without a chance to argue they’d face torture.

At the heart of Putin’s rule are two forces: corruption & violence.
In Putin's Russia, there is no freedom of speech. Protests are violently suppressed. Dissidents are murdered. And the billionaire oligarchs become even richer.
