I'd like to bring this multimillion-dollar photo-op to the attention of Elon Musk and DOGE. Instead of firing food inspectors and air traffic controllers and cancelling critical medical research at NIH, stop this outrageous waste of our people's tax dollars!

New Yorkers want Eric Adams held accountable—but Donald Trump has ordered prosecutors to dismiss the charges against the mayor. “It is yet another example of the president imposing his own agenda over the law and public consensus,” Xochitl Gonzalez writes.

We will expose and shut down the Republican Bait and Switch.

Back up off the civil servants of America.

The GOP budget is out. Republicans recently promised to love and cherish Medicaid. Their actual plan is to destroy it.

The Republican budget cuts taxes for their billionaire donors, while cutting off Medicaid from older Americans in Nursing Homes. Every single Budget Committee Democrat voted against it. And now the battle moves to the House Floor.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
