This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

It'll be political malpractice if we don't see "DWB" ads in the midterms.

We need to:
❌ Ban Congressional stock trading
❌ Ban Congressmembers from becoming lobbyists
❌ Ban unlimited corporate money in elections
So we can finally fund housing, healthcare, and education instead of endless war.

The reason conservatives constantly trade in conspiracy theories is they have no legislative agenda once they cut taxes.
Republicans flounder on health care while Trump avoids specifics
The party is divided over whether to cut a bipartisan deal or go it alone, but the president’s imprimatur will be needed.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

@vanhollen.senate.gov is the kind of person we need in Democratic leadership. Too many senators would rather look the other way on foreign intervention, we saw it with Iraq, we cannot let it happen with Venezuela.

Reducing education to a jobs training program has been a net negative for society.
If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

They sucked under Biden too, give us a solution besides turning back the clock by a year.
Home energy bills are up 13% under Trump because of his chaotic policies. Families are paying more & falling behind on their bills, racking up hundreds of dollars in utility debt.
