The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

47 doesn’t play any-dimensional chess. His game is more like Hungry Hungry Hippos. Just keep pounding that big button, create maximum chaos, and whatever marbles luck sends his way, he gets to keep. No thinking, just pound, pound, pound!

It's not "unbelievable" at all, Jon. The aim is to privatize it and charge a monthly fee for access to weather data. Yet another thing that was outlined in Project 2025.

Well, isn’t this exactly what you’d expect. Maurene Comey, the Manhattan federal prosecutor who helped lead the criminal cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was abruptly fired today by the Trump administration.

The government is using $450 million of our tax dollars a year to fund an inhumane immigration detention facility called “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Tell Congress: Demand access and shut it down.
Shut Down "Alligator Alcatraz"
"Alligator Alcatraz" is an environmental and humanitarian disaster. The cruelty must end. Join me in telling Congress to demand access and block all federal funds until this compound is shut down.

Republican Rep. Robert Bresnahan sold shares in a Medicaid health provider just weeks before voting for the Big Ugly Bill — which of course slashes Medicaid.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks, don't you think?

Reports indicate that several other red states are now considering opening camps similar to the one in Florida. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina publicly requested a facility, tweeting, “Dear DHS: We’ve got a swamp and a dream. Let’s talk. South Carolina’s gators are ready.”

The deportation-industrial complex is here.

It's siblings are the military-industrial complex, and the prison-industrial complex.

Capitalizing on suffering and death is abhorrent and immoral.

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview.

Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.

Alright, y’all - I’m at the Aurora, Colorado ICE processing center, a private prison owned by GEO.

We’re here for a community demonstration in defense of Jeanette Vizguerra, a local resident who has been detained inside for more than four months.
