This is a DIRECT result of Republican inaction.

I tried to push a vote for over a YEAR to extend the ACA credits that helped folks get the health care they needed—but Republicans wouldn't budge.

I won't stop fighting until health care becomes affordable for families at home.

Trump hadn't finished unblocking the Strait of Hormuz before announcing his own blockade of it. Interesting plan.

If you live in a red state, it is very likely that your state handed over their unredacted voter files & the GOP in your state will try to disqualify you if you vote for Democrats. Stay informed & inform others.

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell criminal investigation opened by Manhattan DA’s office

One of the accused assaults occurred in Manhattan

MAJOR development — it means prosecutors believe there is probable cause Swalwell committed a crime

I think we are far beyond the point where a serious person can plausibly claim that the immigration courts are offering a fair adjudication consistent with foundational principles of the American legal tradition. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/us/politics/immigration-judges-deportations-students.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Arizona is finally winning…in the category of number of families going hungry thanks to MAGA.

Since July, more than 400,000 Arizonans have been kicked off of SNAP, the highest figure of all states, though others will soon follow. Stop voting for Republicans.

In the first eleven months of 2025, 10,109 doctoral-trained scientists left the federal government. The losses were concentrated in agencies that fund medical research, regulate environmental standards and model climate.

For over 8 million Americans, Trump wants to collect:

"Medical and pharmaceutical claims, diagnoses, treatments, visit length, provider information, doctor’s notes or after-visit summaries..."

All "with identifying information, such as names and birth dates"

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

Let’s be serious: the people in charge of this administration are not interested in merit.

They've overruled the merit process to block the promotion of Black military officers - and lavish favors on people who can pay dues at Trump's private clubs or write big checks to his ballroom project.

Trump administration appointee has delayed publication of the CDC report that shows benefits related to the Covid vaccine, leading to concerns that the administration is engaging in behind-the-scenes tactics to undermine vaccines.

Inflation has tripled from just one month ago, and it’s higher than when he took office. Not only has Trump failed to deliver on his central campaign promise to make life more affordable - he is actively, directly driving prices up.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Many MAGAs have tried to argue to me that Donald Trump can't be antisemitic because he warmly invited Jared Kushner into his family.

Oops.

Turns out the lifelong Jew-hater Trump went to a federal prosecutor to try to end Ivanka's relationship with Jared.

ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues.

He had just asked to call his wife.

They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw.

Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious.
