Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

"Why doesn't Chicago want us to zip-tie more naked children in the middle of the night and shove them, screaming, into vans? So ungrateful for refusing our kind, helpful offer to help!"

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

A woman gets duly elected by the people and the government refuses to allow her to do her job.

What the hell is going on in the US? What a shit government system you have there. It's an incredible mess.

Pam Bondi watched Epstein's child rape video archive and decided she would join the cover-up.

Who could she possibly want to protect ?

The best way to defeat Reform is for millions of people to hear a version of this message:

"Farage's Brexit made you poorer. Don't let him do it again"

In 2010, an interviewer told Neil Kinnock that the Labour Party "never used to understand aspiration".

Kinnock gave an absolutely brilliant answer that should be learned by heart by every Labour MP. (0.42 to 1.22)

UK banks oppose tax rise.

Falsely claim to be paying 46.4% tax rate.

The PwC generated number includes PAYE, employee national insurance which is paid by workers. VAT which is borne by customers.

Why do media reports not expose this sham claim?
