I'm proud to announce my policy agenda to empower Michigan’s Black communities.
For generations, Black communities in Michigan have received promises of federal investment that never fully arrived, or arrived without any way to track whether it actually improved people's lives.

His name needs to be kept off the Kennedy Center and the ballroom must be torn down. There's tremendous power in symbolism. The GOP knows that. Dem leadership needs to learn/understand that too. 🤨

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

If the Fed has to raise rates this week, it will be due solely to the foreign and domestic policy of Trump and the Republican Party. They will, as always, lash out at others and attempt to shift blame. But it is a straight line between their policies and rates rising.

Trump likes Flock cameras, data centers, deregulated AI, new foreign wars, no carbon standards for coal and gas power plants, crypto scams, selling pardons, and covering up the Epstein files to protect himself and his wealthy cronies, but MAGA cultists think he cares about them.

I'm serious when I say I've lost track of all the recent revelations of literal Nazis working in high-level positions in Republican congressional campaigns and I would very much appreciate a journalist who took the time to detail as many of them as can fit into an article.
Ossoff: "Then there's the ex-staffer posting swastikas and Klan regalia. And the neo-Nazi with a million followers who produces neo-Nazi propaganda at Collins's house ... a man who won't take responsibility for what happens under his own roof can't be trusted with our national affairs."

Sure seems like we should revisit that whole "lying president tried to have his goons put an Olympic athlete in prison for his own incompetence" thing
The contractor that renovated the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has told the Trump administration that errors in its own work and flaws in the repair plan, not vandalism, caused the pool’s new blue liner to peel and break loose, documents show.
Reflecting Pool Contractor Blames Its Own Repairs, Not Vandals, for Damage
The contractor said the pool’s new blue liner peeled and tore because of “human oversight” and a flawed plan that involved layering two incompatible chemicals, documents show.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?
