Alina Habba is a partisan hack and Trump lackey who will never be confirmed as a United States Attorney.

Trump’s VA quietly ended a key program that helped Veterans avoid foreclosure. Now thousands are at risk of losing their homes—with no replacement in place. Just more proof that Trump has zero respect for those who’ve served. MORE: www.npr.org/2025/05/01/n...

Great to see! "A major company, Microsoft, has dropped a law firm that settled with the administration in favor of one that is fighting it." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

Men at Bluebonnet Detention Facility (immigration prison) in Anson, TX form an S.O.S. with their bodies to signal to a drone overhead. This is the facility from which the Trump Administration appeared ready to fly another planeful of men to El Salvador last weekend www.reuters.com/pictures/sos...

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

The Pope living just long enough to have JD Vance visit the Vatican so his Secretary of State could tell Vance to his face that he doesn’t understand Catholicism is a level of hating I could only aspire to in my wildest dreams.

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement."

I saw this and can’t stop thinking about it

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Senate Dem Whip Dick Durbin: "Now is the time for my Republican colleagues to step up. You can no longer stay silent in the face of a constitutional crisis. You must join Democrats in responding to this madness and demanding that Mr. Abrego Garcia is returned to the United States immediately."

July 4th is going to have special significance this year. We all should begin talking now about how to make it an important teaching tool for why we choose to build a government and country of We The People not one of kings, oligarchs and Muscovites.

Tonight, Democrats forced a vote on a simple amendment. To remove new tariffs that are increasing the cost of groceries, gas and housing. Republicans rejected it.

Leader Jeffries is threatening a lawsuit against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for holding off on calling a special election to fill a vacant House seat in Houston, which Democrats allege is a deliberate move designed to help pad the GOP's razor-thin majority.

The Department of Veterans Affairs says it will end a mortgage rescue plan that has saved many veterans from needlessly losing their homes, the move could strand thousands of others who need help.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

Hopefully Strom Thurmond took some time out of his busy schedule burning in hell to get the news that he was just beaten by a black man.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Such a distillation of the con: guess who got Musk's $1 million check yesterday? The head of the Wisconsin College Republicans. meidasnews.com/news/republi...

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the courage it takes to serve—and the courage it takes to live authentically. At VoteVets, we believe anyone willing and able to serve this country should have that right. Their service is real. Their sacrifice is equal. Their commitment is undeniable.

There were four Republican-backed extreme constitutional amendments on the ballot in Louisiana yesterday. The voters REJECTED them all (in a state Trump won by 22 points in November). Keep the pressure on.
