Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.

No, they don’t have to.

Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state.

Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win.

No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.

Shirley Ivory, an 80-year-old in Mississippi Senate District 24, wants a candidate who will advocate for cleaner communities and more affordable health care.

“I’m expecting them to do better in helping the town and cleaning up more and getting this trash out of our neighborhoods,” she said.

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Watching ABC News coverage of Hurricane Melissa. They showed Jamaicans doing completely reasonable thing to prepare for a Category 5 hurricane; stocking up on groceries, getting fuel for generators, evacuating inland, and then described American tourists as being "caught in the panic". Come on guys!

Amazon is a prime example of corporate welfare. They avoid paying corporate taxes, AND don't pay a living wage for their workers. Amazon delivery drivers get $19/hour, compared to $35/hour for unionized UPS drivers. We subsidize their operation at both levels.
