On a United Nations resolution ensuring the safety and security of humanitarian workers and UN personnel across the globe, the vote was 153-1. The United States was the 1 No vote.

Never in my lifetime did I think I would see this.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

In America, we hold ourselves to a higher standard, and we can’t let this President or Secretary of Defense corrupt that. I’m grateful for Jeff Flake’s moral clarity.

FOX: The president is coming up on a year in office. When can Americans expect to see their energy bills drop?

CHRIS WRIGHT: Very soon you'll see a stop in the rise in electricity prices, and with the continuation of Trump policies, you'll see declines in electricity prices later this term

Trump Pretends To Block State AI Laws; Media Pretends That’s Legal
The mainstream media just failed a basic civics test so badly that you'd think their brains have been pickled by the kinds of folks who spend all their time on X (oh, wait…). Headlines across major outlets are breathlessly reporting that Donald Trump "blocked states from passing AI laws" with an executive order. Except, that's not how any of this works, and anyone who stayed awake during middle school social studies should know better.

Democrats have been willing to negotiate.

We’ve offered compromises to extend the health care tax credits so millions do not see their insurance premiums double.

Every time, congressional Republicans have turned us down and refused to stand up for their own constituents.
