Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

After 25 hours, Senator Booker has yielded the floor... to us.

Though our voices might tremble, we must speak.
Though our hands may shake, we must act.

We must stand and say, "No more."

It's time to take the floor, America.
He Yields the Floor to Us

ICYMI: DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS.

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.

We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

Trump's USDA will roll back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.

This will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker health and food safety.

Last year's listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head killed 10 people.

We need more regulation, not less. Hello?

Musk staffers are joking about how upcoming Social Security changes will restrict access by requiring in-person visits while simultaneously shutting down offices. They are touting the cost savings from limiting access.

Tell everyone in Wisconsin
Trump's tariffs will negatively impact almost 300,000 Wisconsin jobs—the highest percentage of any state.

77% of those affected voted for the person creating this harm.

If a landlord evicts someone for needing basic accommodations after a stroke, our anti-discrimination laws are supposed to protect that tenant.

But Trump and Musk have gutted the ability to enforce those protections.

Rep. Maxine Waters & I are pushing back.

“Soon there’ll be no enforcement,” said Representative Maxine Waters of California. “We really are going to go backward.”

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

No, you're not dreaming.

Trump has gone and paid the better part of $100,000 for a car he's not yet driven, and which during the course of its production has been the subject of dozens of recalls for issues like seat-belt warning system malfunctions and unexpected speeding and lane changes.

America was founded on the premise that all people are created equal & that a ruling class was obsolete.

Republicans are winning a war that most people aren't aware has been raging for decades.

By starting a culture war, they hid that they were full on waging a class war.

We can't let them win.

That is correct.
Like the spoiled children of the rich who squander their unappreciated legacies, a vast swath of Americans are taking for granted the hard-earned freedoms and rule of law that made us a rich and powerful nation. If we are not careful we will lose our inheritance forever.

The media keeps asking where the Democrats are.

What many in the US need to realize is that power lies in the people and comes from the ground up. A leader will emerge after the people rise. That's how movements work
