Speaker Mike Johnson on the US credit downgrade: "Moody's is not incorrect, but that emphasizes the very need for the legislation we're talking about -- historic spending cuts." (Part of Moody's concern is in fact the reconciliation bill, which is projected to add trillions to US debt)

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

🚨Introducing: Lost Boys with @profgalloway.com Young men in America are falling behind - at home, at school, at work. Rising suicides, lower wages, loss of connection. It’s a crisis no one wants to talk about, so it's time to start. 👇

My name is Ras J. Baraka, I’m the Mayor of Newark and I am running for Governor of New Jersey. We’ve used creativity and imagination to transform Newark and I know that together, we can do the same for the challenges of our state.

This is the moment I was invited into Delaney Hall. Nobody was kicking or shoving like the coverage suggests. We were invited in.

Trump’s brand has become so politically poisonous that the Republican Mayor of Omaha lost her race for a fourth term, simply because she had endorsed him in 2024. 100 days in and the voters have already had enough.

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

I'm going to start publicly calling out campaigns that text me because they bought my number from a list. Not just because I've run out of patience, but because if I am this annoyed, then I can't even imagine what it's doing to Democrats' reputation among casual voters.

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

Many of you might know me as a former Secretary of Labor. Or from my TikToks. But my true passion is teaching. When I decided to retire, I wanted to do it quietly. Instead, my colleagues at Inequality Media Civic Action decided to make a film about my last class. https://www.thelastclassfilm.com/

There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water. I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful. Thoughts?

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
