Grassroots movements didn’t just inspire Nancy Pelosi—they fueled her. She never forgot that change starts in neighborhoods, not Capitol Hill. Her power came from listening to people, amplifying their stories, and turning their demands into law. #ThankYouNancy

The questions remain. Why did White House border czar Tom Homan accept a bag with $50,000 cash? Who was it from? What was promised in exchange? Why did the DOJ close the investigation? How does bribery and corruption make America great? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The attorney general and the vice president confronted straightforward questions about the scandal surrounding the border czar. Both Republicans struggled.

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.
Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.

Trump’s proven he’d rather shut down the gov than stop health insurance premiums from soaring by thousands of dollars a year from millions of hardworking Americans. He’s taking away health care from 14+millions to keep those huge tax breaks for the super rich.
