We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Republicans just don't care about your health care.

If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

BREAKING: Congress has passed Donald Trump’s deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance — programs that LGBTQ+ Americans disproportionately rely on — all to give tax breaks to the wealthy.

The bill also “defunds” Planned Parenthood which could force hundreds of health centers to close.

Make no mistake: When anti-abortion rights lawmakers target Planned Parenthood, they are trying to pass a backdoor abortion ban. But both Planned Parenthood and abortion rights are more popular than any political party or elected official.

One of the defining features of America is that every time the forces of equality and human rights lands a crushing blow against the slavers and genociders they later welcome the latter group back into the tent in the spirit of national reconciliation and my idea is we should stop doing that.

Pam Bondi: “This is a criminal judge sitting on a criminal bench. Anyone who is going to let anyone—any criminal defendant—out a back door is absurd.”

When Trump was a criminal defendant, judges often allowed him to enter and exit court out a back door.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

Big corporations have put together super PAC with cutesy-sounding name with one purpose: make sure that working people in WA continue to pay more in taxes than they and the wealthy few do.
