We will never see eye to eye with republicans on healthcare.

It’s because most of us believe healthcare should be a human right, affordable to anyone.

They see it as a profit-rich enterprise for big pharma and insurance.

This is why any solution they put forward is invariably a non-starter.

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Did you know that Oxfam research found that the richest 10 Americans made over $698 billion dollars this past year? This extreme concentration of wealth alongside the hardship of many is no accident. This is what oligarchy looks like. @rebeccariddell.bsky.social

Lol when it’s “leftist dogma” to pronounce the name of a country correctly to an audience of people who are from there.

4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check

5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

He may not want you to hear it, but this is the original audio, sourced directly from the Reagan Library.

Don’t let him erase history — like he already did when he tore down part of the White House.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

Poll watchers were a significant tool in stopping Black citizens from voting during Jim Crow. So it tracks that the white supremacist Trump administration is bringing them back.
In response to requests from state Republican parties, the Department of Justice announced plans on Friday to send federal election monitors to California and New Jersey ahead of November’s election.

You don’t submit plans to the oversight body for government buildings — not to mention national landmarks — AFTER demolition starts. The tyranny of morons.
The White House said on Tuesday it will submit plans for President Donald Trump's $250 million White House ballroom project to a body that oversees federal building construction, even though demolition work began earlier this week reut.rs/4ndTcfL

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.
