Pete Hegseth has failed in every mission except one: keeping his job. But firing or forcing out everyone else in the Pentagon will not make Pete Hegseth into the secretary of defense America and its men and women in uniform need.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.

Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The president's authority as "commander in chief" refers to the military only.

The president cannot use executive orders to expand the definition of who is eligible for birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment.

The president's aide saying these things is a virulent white nationalist.
Stephen Miller: "The president is using his authority as commander as chief to sign an executive order using the new ruling the Supreme Court issued to expand the definition of people who are ineligible for birthright citizenship. That includes, for example, alien enemies ... "

A BIG disclosure in a lawsuit brought by Trump against Capital One reveals the bank closed more than 300 of Trump’s accounts in 2021 after a months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

I want children to know what it feels like to catch tadpoles in a stream,climb a tree,hear frogs after the rain and watch butterflies drift across a meadow. I want more parks, more hiking trails, more protected wilderness and more places where nature is left alone simply because it deserves to exist

🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary.

Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!”

Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short.

Texans deserve better.

Bears Ears is an interconnected living cultural landscape. Its significance cannot be reduced to individual sites because the relationships among its waters, plants, animals, and sacred places give this ancestral homeland its meaning.

E. Jean Carroll spent nearly a decade in court fighting one of the most powerful men in the world.

She fought with tenacity and grace — and she won.

She is one of my personal heroes.

We all owe her a debt of gratitude.

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche:

"After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General.

"I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

I'm glad that Graham Platner is out.

But it is so disturbing to contemplate that the man who was *twice* elected president makes Platner look like an amateur when it comes to serial sexual assaults.

It would be nice if the media was as interested in Ken Paxton as they are in Graham Platner.
