This iconic photo…

On the night he made history, Obama reached for his mother-in-law’s hand.

Michelle later wrote in Becoming that her mom felt his loneliness that night. His father gone since he was 2, his mother and grandmother both passed. Marian said she could feel the “gravity of the passage”

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals 

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

Let us not forget that Texas 18th Congressional District is also unrepresented after Sylvester Turner's death. Abbott could have called a special election but instead is allowing the seat to remain empty until November 2025. No representation! www.texastribune.org/2025/03/05/s...
Congressman and former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner dies
Turner’s death comes two months into his first term representing Texas’ 18th Congressional District, the seat long occupied by former U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who also died in office last year am...

Sending 20 billion to bail out Argentina while our own people lose healthcare and our children lose school lunches. Because of the absurd tariff war, we are pushing China into Argentina’s fields to buy soybeans that once came from our American farmers. What are we doing, and why are we doing it?

Meiselas: Another critical reason MAGA Mike is telling Republicans that the House is officially closed is because he’s trying to avoid swearing in Democratic Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva.. She would be the 218th signature on the Epstein discharge petition.
