It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Donald Trump just pardoned the former President of Honduras, a convicted drug trafficker. In fact, he's pardoned multiple drug kingpins since taking office in January. That should outrage every American concerned about the flow of illegal drugs in this country.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

The result of the constant and accelerating proliferation of sports betting, in the U.S. at least. I'm not sure if it's been growing at the same rate in the EU, but it sounds like it has.

For many players, abusive messages and threats from disappointed gamblers have become a part of daily life, as French tennis player Alice Tubello has experienced.

Yes. We must extend the ACA tax credits so that over 20 million Americans don't see a doubling in their health premiums, on average. But we must do more. We cannot remain the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right.
We must pass Medicare for All.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

@aclutx.bsky.social the best thing you could do for TX is to visit every high school and college in strong Dem precincts and REGISTER YOUNG PEOPLE who will be 18 by the midterms TO VOTE. Schedule presentations on the importance of voting with teachers of h.s. seniors and register them on the spot.
