This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

The AAP and more than 40 organizations are alarmed that the CDC is promoting the outdated, disproven idea that vaccines cause autism. We’re calling on the CDC to return to its long history of promoting evidence-based information to protect Americans’ health. Read the full statement: bit.ly/3XILwry

They’re not going after criminals. “Criminals don’t get up and go to work and pay their bills.”
These are not criminals; they’re hard-working people.

more of this please!
Rep. Chrissy Houlahan called out Speaker Mike Johnson for lying to the American people: He preaches “transparency” while running a shutdown circus. Her message was simple tell the truth or stop pretending you’re leading. The GOP’s moral compass is spinning—and she called it out live.

so much brighter. We have hope!
Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

The ACA provides free preventive care like checkups and mammograms, protects people with preexisting conditions, and bans lifetime coverage limits. Young adults can stay on their parents’ plans until 26. It’s not perfect, but it saves lives and strengthens access to care until Congress builds on it.

Obama: When he was asked to give the trump administration a grade, he said they deserved an A. These are the same folks who put secret war plans in a group chat. You don't think there's anything they could be doing better? No room for improvement?

Wow. I watched this speech tonight and Obama was hot. In fact, he was dancing on hot coals. He will always be my president.
Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

It should be repeated over and over about the Trump agenda: He builds himself a massive gold ballroom while millions of children and elderly may go hungry because his enablers insist the government cannot afford to pay their meager benefits.

The last thing that Trump regime wants is an open hearing with Jack Smith testifying under oath.

Remember when a tan suit made explosive headlines?
When simply painting basketball lines on the White House tennis court raised eyebrows?
If that once stirred outrage, but tearing down part of the White House for a golden ballroom draws a shrug, what does that say about where we are now?

Texas Republicans are forcing a vote on their rigged election maps.
If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats.
