This Bondi performance is designed to send an authoritarian message of total scorn for democracy: Congress as a place where the opposition can grill government officials is an outdated and offensive notion. Doesn't happen in Russia or China, why should they have to tolerate it

The video of this incident is just as bad as it sounds. The priest is standing there, not doing anything remotely illegal, and without warning a masked DHS agent on the roof shoots him in the top of his head with a pepper ball.

Everytime you hear Trump or Mike Johnson or Vance or any other of their sycophants talking about how they want to "fix" healthcare but ignoring the pain this will inflict, show them this chart? That's what the Trump shutdown is protecting

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly: newrepublic.com/article/201453…

Network television is the perfect target for Trump. He knows it matters because it made him rich and famous, and also because TV news still carries information to a lot of people who aren’t news junkies. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

Pope Leo just released his first major document — and it’s a direct challenge to Trump’s America. He defends migrants, rebukes walls, lifts up the poor, and reminds us: mercy is not weakness. It’s the heart of faith. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leos-fi…

Never get comfortable with the military walking our streets or the president threatening elected officials for speaking truth! Gov Pritzker is ringing the alarm. Trump is preparing to take over our free and fair elections so we must ā€œstand up and speak outā€! #DemsUnited

A Virginia Republican called into C-SPAN and begged Mike Johnson to stop people’s health care premiums from doubling or tripling: ā€œMy kids could die. We don’t have the credit because of the medical bills I have to pay regularly. I think it’s awful, and the audacity of someone who

ICE smash car window & drag 2 sisters out—in front of elementary school at pick up time. 13 masked agents surround car—while children yelled "It's ICE!" running away in fear. "My name is Jocelyn, I'm from Cicero," she cries. "They forced us out of the car, they followed us...

The newser turned to a different topic when Rep. Gomez addressed President Donald J. Trump and GOP use of sombreros as a meme, especially placing them on Black and brown lawmakers and others. "Those are just completely racist and uncalled for," Gomez said. Then he ramped up.

Broadway's actors, musicians, and crew make New York the cultural capital of the world. Their health care is on the line, and it's time for a fair deal that protects it. Solidarity with @actors_equity and Local 802 AFM as they fight for the care every worker deserves.

President Trump littered his Cabinet meeting today with false claims about vaccines and other subjects. A quick fact check: No, there’s no link between vaccines and autism. The CDC website still notes that this idea has been debunked. No, babies aren’t given vaccines twice the
