Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

We all believe in improving efficiency, and a team genuinely focused on that could do a world of good.
But the DOGE we could have had is a far cry from the DOGE we actually got.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

It is annoying to me how people leap on a sentence pulled out of (in this case) an hour-plus conversation and immediately slot the speaker into a pre-existing category of Enemy. Here is the entire talk.

This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.
The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.

Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

Sean Duffy came for Pete Buttigieg… and instantly regretted it - Queerty
Duffy, a reality TV alum, thought that criticizing military veteran Buttigieg was a good move.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.
It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.
I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.
If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Trump’s move to “terminate” the Gateway Project is classic “mob boss” politics – using federal funds to punish his political enemies, and hurt you in the process.

Trump’s move to “terminate” this project shows what happens when a leader’s top priority is not safety or jobs - but political revenge.
