BREAKING: In a stunning admission, Mike Johnson just told reporters that he has plan to cut Medicare and Medicaid after the midterms. We can stop this by making Hakeem Jeffries the next Speaker of the House.
Perhaps it's because it's Arlington Cemetery he'll deface with this grotesque and anti-American structure. I sense lots of people share my revulsion at the prospect. So I just want to encourage and support all efforts--lawsuits, legislation, peaceful protests--against the Arch.
"The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good."
—Pope Leo XIV
Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.
RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!
Morning everyone.
Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws?
You are subject to the law. Now he is not.
No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.
Here's how the corruption works:
Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump
Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it
Friday: FDA changes the policy

Imagine telling the Pope to “stay out of politics” then broadcasting yourselves reading the Bible over the nation and holding a worship service in D.C. to “rededicate the nation to God” and somehow not see the blatant hypocrisy.
7/ Trump's ineptitude lowers my expectations for a deal. And yes, a bad deal could be better than no deal (the most likely outcome still being no deal).
But no one should forget how badly Trump and his team have bungled this. It's unforgivable incompetence.
Evangelical Christian leaders literally gathering around a gold statue of the president and celebrating it, all while raging against any accusation of idolatry.
This is what idol worship looks like.
I am still shocked that Secretary Rubio announced that "The operation is over - Epic Fury,"
without achieving any of their war objectives: (1) no removal of enriched uranium and elimination forever of Iran's nuclear program, (2) no constraints on missile production, (3) no end of funding for terrorists & (4) no democratic regime change.
Epic Fury is going to be remembered as Epic Failure.
Putin is an enemy of freedom and a supporter of dictatorship. That's why he invaded Ukraine and is aiding Iran.
The U.S. should be a friend of freedom and a supporter of democracy.
Trump doesn't understand this basic mission for our great country. I hope future leaders will.
Louisiana’s GOP governor just declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY to CANCEL an election.
Not for a storm — but to redraw maps so he can ERASE a historically Black district.
They’re not even hiding it. MAGA is rigging elections to silence YOU.
We now know the Iran war price tag is more like $50 billion - hundreds of dollars per household - and counting.
It's enough to cover all the health insurance premium credits that the Republicans got rid of for this year, and next. It could save rural hospitals, pay teachers, fix roads.
Don't let this White House insult your intelligence by blowing your money on war, then saying America can't afford nice things.
