AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

Mistaken identity led to the arrest of a Colorado man and his two children. The family spent a grueling 36 hours in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and was mistreated, humiliated, and denied enough meals. Join your local resistance movement!

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.
Breaking from NJ AG Platkin:

"Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties. Law enforcement … have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations."

Major elections across the country could mark the biggest rebuke to Trump and MAGA yet; Trump’s heavily edited 60 Minutes interview couldn’t hide his corruption; MAGA Mike’s daily self-flagellation; and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

ICE...in its current form...is not a "law enforcement agency" that should exist in any country on earth. Everything about the way they are operating is light-years away from being consistent with what this country is about. We have seen evidence that many of the people employed by ICE are bad news.

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Republican promises don't carry much weight or "promise."

Hold tight to your demands for better access to health care, Democrats. You are America's only hope.
