When private equity owns your doctor, you pay MORE for WORSE care. Their priority is profit. Governor Kotek just signed into law the strongest protections against corporate profiteering in health care. Congress should follow and get private equity out of health care nationwide.

2,000 National Guardsmen in L.A.? Trump isn’t sending aid...he’s sending a message: compliance at gunpoint. Deploying soldiers to our own streets like enemies of the state? This isn’t leadership. It’s authoritarian theater. And we should be furious.

I think it’s notable that ICE isn’t conducting raids in red states, but is instead targeting deep blue states with big migrant communities that will fight back. They want violence to justify more violence. This is fascism 101. We should laugh at them and treat them like the cowards they are.

As the LAPD is reporting, the protestors in LA are being peaceful. This is not a rebellion or an invasion. There is no legal basis, including under 10 U.S. Code § 12406, for Trump to take over California's National Guard. Trump is trying to cross the Rubicon and take this country into tyranny.

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

The reward you get for cozying up to Trump is him threatening to pardon the terrorists who plotted to kidnap and murder you. These criminals are a threat to public safety and law enforcement. Releasing them is no laughing matter. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MAQ1kH/

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.
