Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Time for the Rs to take the L and listen to the people and the Ds; don’t take away our healthcare and release the E files and give the govt workers back pay.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

In a democracy, presidents don’t wield the military against citizens or weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents.

Since Congress won’t act, voters must.

We must decide what kind of country we want

A president who uses the military and the Justice Department to exact revenge against his perceived enemies is as un-Ame

Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy aren’t free—they’re projected to add $4–5 TRILLION to the national debt in the next decade, and as much as $35–50 TRILLION over 30 years including interest.

Billionaires cash in while America pays the bill.
