Why does no one take God seriously? I said “thou shalt not kill” and I meant it.

It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children.

The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children.

Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.

All Democrats want is to lower health care costs for Americans. Republicans in Congress won’t even come to the table.

How out of touch are they that they can't see we are in a health care crisis?

Legacy media could learn a few things from Purdue.

The Last Mile with USAID @thelastmileusaid.bsky.social · 14d

🔥 When Indiana silenced its student press, Purdue broke the silence. Rivalry became rebellion as students printed the forbidden paper and carried it through the night to Bloomington. This is what freedom looks like when courage refuses permission.

A Facebook post by Sara Whitmer recounts how Indiana University abruptly ended the print edition of its student newspaper, The Indiana Daily Student, before Homecoming because the issue criticized university leadership. Purdue University’s student paper, The Exponent, printed and delivered the banned edition overnight in solidarity. The post celebrates student courage and calls for active resistance through solidarity.

John Bolton is being prosecuted because Trump hates him. I cannot understand why anyone credits anything in a document prepared by Trump's DOJ targeting his political opponents.

The coverage of this case makes me think we have learned nothing about giving Trump's DOJ the benefit of the doubt.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Donald Trump and Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1, but instead Republicans made health care more expensive.

Now Republicans are causing more economic chaos by shutting down the government.

Trump Cancels Meeting With Top Democrats Ahead Of Government Shutdown

The president initially agreed to the meeting at the White House, but then changed his mind, citing "ridiculous demands" made by Democrats.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Republicans are covering up for pedophiles. That's what's happening right now. No other explanation for not releasing the Epstein files, believing the survivors, or transferring Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security camp.

There’s been lots of discussion of the article, but I think the paper-copy visual is effective.

Individual photos of each Dem Senator, each one captioned, “Senator [Name], what will you do?”

Our tax code is rigged.

It’s not fair that a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.

Graphic that reads:
The Tax Code is Rigged

Working families pay an effective tax rate that is 4x higher than the average billionaire’s.
The biggest source of income for the ultra-rich—the increase in value of investments they don’t sell—is never taxed at all.
Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” made things even worse, giving trillions in tax breaks to corporations, billionaires, and millionaires.

It’s not fair that a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.
