"A group of Russian nationals were able to donate to newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson's campaign in 2018 by funneling the money through a U.S. company." – Ewan Palmer, Newsweek

Sen. Manchin just announced that he will NOT run again in 2024 – meaning that we just lost the 51st seat in our Democratic Senate majority.
But if Colin Allred defeats Ted Cruz, we’re virtually GUARANTEED to stay in power in the Senate. Chip in now to make it happen:

It's been eight long months now. And Senator Tuberville has made clear that he doesn't care about our national security. And doesn't care about treating those who give their all to defend this nation as political footballs. His dangerous holds on military promotions must stop.

It's time to face reality. Trump is more desperate, cruel, and dangerous than ever before, and no amount of debating or policy papers will stop him. We know that it's America or Trump. With less than one year until #ElectionDay, we are all in on stopping him.

Please spare us the Republican Party’s fake outrage about the national debt. The Bush and Trump tax cuts together have cost an estimated $10 trillion since they were enacted. Hello?

"School choice" sounds great, but it's a euphemism for defunding public schools and funneling the money to private, for-profit schools that don't have to accept all students, are not accountable for their curricula, and can use your tax dollars for religious indoctrination. #GOPDebate

Elon Musk just fired half of the Election Integrity Team at X.
Allowing election misinformation to fester on this platform opens our democracy up to further attack and disinformation.
But Elon seems fine with that.

Watch this case! It’s likely to be the one that gets to the US Supreme Court first and that settles Trump’s eligibility to be president again and to run for the GOP nomination despite Section 3 of the 14th Amendment

The myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people and people of color that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Constantly amazed at how Americans on this platform tell Ukrainians to give up their land for alleged peace. So arrogant. So naive about Putin. #ImperialHubris.

One in five Americans has a family member who died because of gun violence.
We need elected leaders to have the courage to act and pass commonsense, reasonable gun safety laws.

The CEO of Live Nation — the parent company of TicketMaster — received $139 million in compensation last year.
Meanwhile, the median Live Nation employee was paid $25,673.
That’s a CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 5,414-to-1.
FIVE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN TO ONE.

There is a growing consensus about what Sec 3 of the 14th Amendment means and about its application to Donald Trump but much debate about who should do what and when . . .

Folks, it's not a "teacher shortage." It's a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity and pay they deserve.

BOOM. Jamie Raskin calls on Congress to subpoena Jared Kushner over his $2 billion Saudi investment and says it "raises the significant possibility that there was a large quid pro quo.”
Raise your hand if you agree Jared should be investigated! ✋

Thanks to the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling this May, the EPA was forced to remove protections from most of America's wetlands this week.
Harlan Crow's firm lobbied for the rollback while he secretly plied Justice Thomas with gifts.
Anyone see a problem here?

Folks in red and blue states alike deserve the opportunity to cast their ballots securely on their own time—just like Oregonians do. But GOP state legislatures across the country are trying to gut vote by mail. We can’t let that happen—we need to protect and expand vote by mail.
