The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.

It’s not just the AI (and the development rate of it) that’s the problem. I mean, that’s a massively huge part of the problem, but we’re not using it critically. #thinkbeforeyouAI

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike.
When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including:
-Increasing taxes on the rich
-Universal childcare
-Freezing rent
-Raising the minimum wage
Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people.
That is the path forward.

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month.
So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much.

While LA firefighters were running out of water…
Rick Caruso, the real estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate, hired private firefighters to save his upscale shopping center in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday night.
The question is: did he use public water for this?
