Masked thugs knocked out a peaceful protester outside the ICE facility in Portland and dragged his unconscious body away on a utility cart. Witnesses yelled, “He is not moving!” Another woman was tackled. This is state violence, and we document it so no one can deny it.

Over 1 million jobs lost in 11 months. Private payrolls down 32K in November — largest drop in 2½ years. Unemployment climbing every month, long-term unemployment over 25%. This is the economy Republicans promised?

Amanda’s tragic story is just one of countless others. Trump & his MAGA Republicans enabled this.

Trump and his allies are trying to twist our fight for equality into fear and division. But really, it’s about one thing: giving every American the opportunity to be treated with decency and respect. Nothing sinister. Nothing scary. Just American.

Biden spoke directly to the kids who need it: young people scrolling social media wondering if they’ll ever be loved, marry, have a family, or be accepted for who they are. His message: Just be you. You are loved. This is what leadership with empathy looks like.

ICE is unleashing attack dogs on human beings. This is government-branded brutality. Grateful to @SenPattyMurray for bringing Wilmer’s story forward, and to Wilmer for the courage to share it.

ICE fired a munition at Rep. Adelita Grijalva as she demanded answers during a raid in her own community. No warning, no transparency, just armored agents turning Tucson into a war zone. If they’ll fire at a Congresswoman on camera, imagine what they do off-camera.

Trump only cares about the issues Americans face when it’s politically convenient for him. He's broken nearly every promise to lower costs for working families.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey made clear he will NOT back down to the Trump regime's efforts to terrorize Somali immigrants. This is powerful.

Republican congressman: You have a lot of hardworking people who gave up a lot of things to be here in Congress, only to find out that all they get to do is come here and rubber stamp whatever Donald Trump wants. You can get a monkey to do this job

Trump went from +10 to -52 with under‑30s in under a year — a 60‑point faceplant — and it’s all about the economy. Rent up. Groceries up. Debt up. Wages flat. If you’re under 30, Trump isn’t “your dad’s booming economy.” He’s the reason you’re broke.

Rep. Jim Himes says Congress saw a video that fits the Pentagon’s own definition of a war crime: killing shipwrecked sailors who couldn’t fight back. He called it one of the most troubling things he’s seen in public service. And “Whiskey Pete” Hegseth ordered it.

🚨 Dem Rep Jim Himes just saw the unedited video of the second strike after Capitol Hill briefing. His words: "One of the most troubling scenes I've ever seen in public service." What are they hiding? Time to demand answers—Trump's crew can't bury this! We are NOT safer.

Rolling back newborn Hep B shots is a dangerous experiment on our children. This safe, proven vaccine prevents lifelong liver disease, including cancer. Why put millions of kids at risk when we already know how to keep them safe?

So the Trump Pentagon was on a Signal chat sharing ‘future war plans’ while he supposedly ‘declassified it in his mind.’ Even Jake Tapper has to ask if anyone actually buys the idea you can wave away secrecy with telepathy in a group chat.

Public dollars must fund education with trust and neutrality so classrooms feel safe for all kids. When religion interferes with academics, students lose access to the inclusive and holistic education every child deserves.

Book bans are not about protecting kids; they're about preserving power.
Pressure groups in the United States and Canada are systematically fomenting fear over books to undermine public trust in education and foster division.
They want to silence diverse voices. Don’t let them!

Grocery bills tell the truth Trump won’t: he promised lower prices, but costs keep climbing. Biden slowed the spikes, but under Trump, families are paying more for essentials every week
