I have attended countless press conferences in police states from North Korea to Iran and I've never seen someone thrown to the ground and handcuffed for trying to ask questions -- let alone when it's a U.S. senator. Imagine if this had happened in China.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has wanted to strike Iran’s nuclear sites for a long time – and now, for the first time, Israel has done it, with President Trump warning there’s more to come. But how will Iran respond, and can the regime survive?
Can we get 500 retweets on this? This is one hell of an ad from a Democrat running for Congress in North Dakota in an OPEN seat currently occupied by a Republican. We need to take back the house and have a real majority.
Addressing our Black maternal mortality crisis means expanding access to doula and midwifery care.
Our #MamasFirstAct would help to do just that—and this #InternationalDoulaMonth is a great time for Congress to pass this critical bill.
The DOT regulated junk fees. Airlines are suing.
The CFPB capped credit card fees. Banks are suing.
Medicare is negotiating drug prices. Pharma is suing.
The FTC banned noncompetes. Business groups are suing.
Corporate America can't stand government working for the people.

This is what a corporate giveaway looks like.
If God was in control, She would not subject us to constant mass shootings with child victims.
Make no mistake, we have this problem in Red states because Republicans are in control.
Judi Dench was on Graham Norton last night to push her new book about her life and work with Shakespeare. After making the point we quote Shakespeare daily without knowing it, this happened:
@wychstreet I had to go look for the video, as I wanted to know when this aired. It was today!
Anyway, Schwarzenegger was sitting next to Dench and
both her remembrance of Shakespeare's Sonnet 29, and Arnold's response are worth watching.

If Republican extremists force a government shutdown, local communities across the country will suffer.
But instead of trying to prevent it, MAGA Republicans are busy launching a baseless impeachment inquiry. #ExtremeRepublicanShutdown
.@POTUS knows the importance of unions. That’s why he joined the UAW picket line yesterday.
Right now, unions across the country continue to stand up and advocate for the rights of working Americans — and they deserve our support. This week’s WGA deal is an example of what’s possible. Keep going.
The number of households – including 20,000 veterans and 90,000 seniors – that could lose housing vouchers, putting them at greater risk of homelessness, as proposed in the stopgap spending bill that wasn’t harsh enough for the House extremists.
The new Agriculture appropriations bill from the GOP cuts spending for most programs by 41% below last year’s levels. It cuts rural, energy funding and international & domestic food aid. These deeper cuts are intended to gain the support of the extremists.
