Court blocks new Texas congressional map
Congresswoman Adelina Grijalva brought the kind of moral clarity Democrats everywhere should lead with. I’m inspired, fired up, and ready to bring that same energy into 2026.

RIP to the penny. 1909–2025. You were shiny, annoying, and somehow always in my car cupholder. The last coin we retired, the half-cent in 1857, was worth about 15¢ in today’s money. Maybe it’s time to rethink the whole small-change system.

The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system.
The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.

Republicans would prefer we blame each other rather than the people truly at fault for rising costs—the GOP and billionaires.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.
The removal was blamed on a "coding error."
Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

Texas Republicans are trying to gerrymander their maps to rig 2026 and now we are facing a possible mid-decade census. The cheat is happening before our eyes and as Americans are we really just going to allow it? Are there really no principled Republicans willing to stand up to this?

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

NEW: A Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas just vacated a Biden-era rule that would have removed medical debt from credit scores. This is going to push people deeper into debt and financial turmoil.

When the platform that allowed death threat posts against President Biden and VP Harris takes down your post, you know your hatred and vitriol levels are off the charts.
Let's be very clear. Loomer wasn't joking when she posted about ending the lives of the entire Hispanic population in the U.S.

An America where masked men in unmarked cars are snatching people off the streets as they run their daily errands is not an America we can accept.

Pay attention: Senate Republicans are trying to ram through extreme anti-abortion judges right under our noses.
Their goal? A nationwide abortion ban.
I’ll keep fighting back against nominees that want to take away our freedoms.
