Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

Senate Dems drew a line today, refusing to vote on Trump's budget pick, Russ Vought, calling him "clearly unfit." This is the guy who wrote the plan in Project 2025 to take away healthcare, food, and benefits for tens of millions of Americans—yet Republicans pushed his confirmation through anyway.

Over the past 4–5 years, Facebook has sunset tools (chiefly CrowdTangle) used by researchers and journalists, made data difficult and expensive to get, and iced out academics studying disinformation.
Now, it's shutting down the fact checking on its platform.

There is no reason that type of wealth should exist while average Americans struggle to afford rent and get food on their tables. Tax the rich.
