How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

For the first time in history, the United States has a sitting congressperson who is transgender.

Congratulations to Sarah McBride, whose race was just called by MSNBC.

She wins in a year where a historic amount of anti-trans ads were blared across TV screens in America.

BREAKING: New York has passed #Prop1!

New Yorkers used their vote to permanently protect abortion statewide, and showed up for LGBTQ, immigrant, and disabled New Yorkers by approving the most progressive and comprehensive state Equal Rights Amendment in the country.

This is a level of going viral I haven’t experienced before 😂

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

Bigotry and anti-Muslim sentiment has no place in our country — and certainly not in our institutions of higher education.

Asna, you’ve earned your spot and your voice deserves to be heard.

This move is shameful.

Remember, America isn't $32T in debt because the poor rely too much on welfare and pay too little tax—but because billionaires pay too little tax and rely too much on corporate welfare.

When Black people die at THREE TIMES the rate of white people during childbirth, that’s policy violence.

Pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act to protect Black mamas and Black babies.

The fact that white conservatives want people to think that black people protesting is the equivalent of white people storming the capitol and beating up cops is, well, pretty much all you need to know about white conservatives and their law enforcement priorities.

Imagine how many lives we would save if we acted as quickly to address gun violence as we do to expel Black men who speak the truth boldly and unapologetically.
