Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)

The difference between Democrats surrendering in March and fighting back now is us. We’re building a unified opposition party that stands up to Trump’s regime and its enablers. Let’s encourage Democrats to keep fighting to protect healthcare for millions of Americans: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

California is standing in the way.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s Election Rigging Response Act — Proposition 50 — is our firewall. It ensures that voters, not MAGA politicians, decide how our congressional districts are drawn.

Our statement on the anniversary of October 7 and the ongoing genocide in Gaza: indivisible.org/statements/i...

WE MOURN ALL VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE, AND DEMAND JUSTICE AND PEACE.

Today, on the second anniversary of the horrific attacks of October 7th, we grieve for the victims and for all who lost loved ones. We continue to call for the immediate release of all remaining hostages. Violence against civilians is not and can never be justified.

Two years later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government has weaponized that tragedy to carry out a campaign of collective punishment -a genocide -against the people of Gaza. The ongoing siege of Gaza City has trapped civilians in rubble and dire hunger. Roads have been blocked, hospitals destroyed, and food and medicine restricted to a trickle. This is not defense. It is annihilation.

The deliberate destruction of Gaza is a moral catastrophe - one happening on our dime. The United States continues to supply weapons and political cover to Netanyahu's government. That complicity must end.

We refuse the false choice between condemning an horrific attack and condemning genocide. We can - and must - do both. True justice means no double standards. It recognizes the equal value of every life. It is a commitment to protecting every civilian, rejecting collective punishment, and demanding accountability for every crime committed.

On this anniversary, we remember every innocent life lost - Israeli and Palestinian alike. We mourn all victims of violence, and demand justice and peace. Real safety will never come from mass killing or collective punishment. It comes from equality, accountability, and humanity.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

We're on day 6 of the Republican shutdown.

This could end TODAY if Republicans come to the table and negotiate with Democrats.

Instead, they're choosing to let this shutdown drag on and let your premiums skyrocket.

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws"

Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.
