Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 10h

House Republicans are saying that they are doing all of this work, but they are twiddling their thumbs and refusing to negotiate.

I have never seen people who hate working this much. They need to pick up the phone.

Collins: Speaker Johnson that Republicans are actually the party that wants to fix health care by addressing issues with it, as he says they did in the one big beautiful bill.

Sanders: Did he really say that? They're trying to fix health care by throwing 15 million people off of it?

AOC: I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.

The Lever’s first book is now atop the charts - a big win for independent reader-supported media, especially considering we published this book in-house without the support of a giant publisher and a huge PR machine.

I wrote about mass video surveillance and what the Hasan Piker dog controversy says about where our internet is headed.

Hasan Piker and the Future No One Is Ready For

The backlash that Piker is facing shows the consequences of a world where everyone is constantly being recorded and our internet is built to reward outrage and controversy.
