Merkley: "Right now we have acquiescence from the House Republicans, from the Senate Republicans. The House Democrats don't have leverage. We are the ones -- the Senate Democrats -- who have leverage to say no."
To replace Amazon:
EBay, order direct from the manufacturer, delivery from Costco, Temu… lots of options.
More Ace, less Home Depot & Lowe’s.
Delta > American Airlines
Easiest replacement: McDonalds
…and never Tesla for any reason.
🚨 BREAKING: The self-proclaimed champion of "free speech" just called for Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace to be fired—for using their free speech about the Cancer survivor at his Speech.
These aren't the words of a president. They're the words of a dictator.
And let’s not forget—this is the same guy slashing funding for cancer research.
In an absolutely must watch video, Rep. Ritchie Torres speaks with tonight’s guest Nancy Bolan, a fired USAID worker, who reveals Donald Trump has terminated our ability to stop deadly outbreaks of Dengue Fever, Ebola, Polio, and Bird Flu from coming to the U.S.
Omg. In a shocking moment, Nancy Bolan, a fired USAID worker and tonight’s guest of Rep. Ritchie Torres — reveals that Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. from the global polio eradication initiative — which threatens its spread to the U.S. Every single American should see this.

Elon Musk has now illegally fired:
- USDA employees amidst a bird flu outbreak
- FAA chair amid a plane crash epidemic
- People in charge of protecting us from nuclear attack
At this point Musk has to be considered a terrorist attacking the United States.
BREAKING: “Musk’s DOGE is seeking access to a heavily-guarded IRS system that includes detailed financial info about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in 🇺🇸 — sparking alarm within the tax agency.”
Alarmed yet?
One year ago, Alexei Navalny was murdered because he refused to surrender—to corruption, to tyranny, to the fear that keeps so many silent. He stood for democracy in a nation where speaking truth is a death sentence. He was jailed, beaten, poisoned—and still, he fought on.
Putin may have ended Navalny’s life, but he could not erase his defiance. He could not undo the courage Navalny inspired in millions. History does not bend to dictators; it bends to those who dare to change it.
In Navalny’s honor, I led the effort to rename the street outside the Russian Ambassador’s residence Alexei Navalny Way—a permanent mark of resistance in the heart of our nation’s capitol—because America must always stand with those who fight for freedom, whether in Russia, in Ukraine, or anywhere tyranny seeks to tighten its grip.
Navalny’s story did not end in a prison cell. His fight is now ours—to remember, to honor, and to continue.
🚨 BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, French President Emmanuel Macron has called an emergency EU summit in Paris tomorrow.
EU leaders will convene to discuss a collective response to statements from Donald Trump and his team regarding a potential U.S. withdrawal from Ukraine and Europe, as well as the implications of Washington's shifting stance toward Russia.
How damn sad. America is a pariah on the world stage after only three weeks.
President Trump just fired:
• 90 physicians
• 350 nurses
• at least 25 nurse practitioners
• nearly 20 dentists
• 85+ pharmacists
• 45 lab techs
All employed by the Indian Health Service to provide health care. This is going to have dangerous consequences for our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

If China is such a threat, why is Trump destroying one of our main instruments -- USAID -- to compete with communist China? Does Trump/Musk no longer think that China is a threat? Journalists should be asking. Senators at confirmation hearings should be asking. 2/END
