It’s that time of year again. Back to school for the kids.

This ad should run during every NFL kickoff, every college football opener, every “Friday Night Lights.” Because school shootings are as American as football now.

Acosta: He can try to roll tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue and all of that—Hegseth can show up in a camouflage tie he got at the Gap—but at the end of the day, the real American strength, the real American might that was on display over the weekend, was in those No Kings protests across the country.

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this.

I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

Don't take this as gospel. It's not official. It's a very knowledgable source's best understanding of the situation. This persons likely Yeses on cloture are. Schumer, Hassan, Peters, Durbin, Schatz, King, Shaheen, Fetterman, Cortez Masto and Gillibrand.

This Republican congressman says he prefers virtual town halls because “Democrat” activists are “disrupting” in-person events—even though he hasn’t actually had one.

Rep Hudson, this is a bullshit excuse. Your constituents are your constituents, no matter their party. Your job is to listen to them.

401(k) break-ins at record highs.* Inflation & financial fears have forced many workers to use, often while paying a penalty, their retirement funds to cover financial emergencies. 401(k)s are designed to be long-term savings, not emergency funds.

Trump in his stupidity & ignorance is taking us toward a recession or a depression

At best his tariffs will cost every American household . $1600- $2000 each year

I strongly recommend that everyone in the US check their 401(k)’s and, more importantly, encourage all all their offline friends to do the same

Every American with a 401(k) is unnecessarily hemorrhaging money right now and the price of everything you’re about to buy is gonna go up by 25% but that’s OK because the guy who bankrupts everything he’s ever touched is calling the shots

Prescott is a conservative stronghold, but it was a beautiful #NoKingsDay to make our voices heard.

Elon Musk is making wild claims that #DOGE has found evidence of massive Social Security fraud....

The reality is that Musk's young engineers don't seem to be able to understand COBOL databases while Musk is misrepresenting the Social Security data

Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud in the Social Security Administration. There's a much simpler explanation.
