BREAKING: Today, I'm introducing a bill to BAN corporate takeovers of your doctor's office.

Doctors should be able to care for their patients without greedy private equity investors getting in the way.

Let's get this done.

In Alligator Alcatraz, detainees were forced into small outdoor cages for hours at a time.

In Camp East Montana, detainees report beatings from guards and denial of medical care.

In Delaney Hall, detainees report unsafe drinking water and retaliatory abuse for speaking up.

Unimaginable cruelty.

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare.

The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

Today would’ve been my father’s 95th birthday.

In search of a better life, he came to America with only $2.43 and a Korean-English dictionary. He had no friends or family here. Like many immigrants, he dreamt of the promise of what this country could offer.

Each day I work to honor his memory.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.

It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.

We must unrig the system.

Legacy media stooges ignore it. When Trump is trying to wreck mail-in voting on the pretext that Democrats “cheat,” his fascist pledge obliging followers to cheat on his behalf should have been front-page news.

MAGA conspiracy-monger Joe diGenova abruptly resigned as investigator for Trump’s “grand conspiracy” inquest, only to tell a New York Post reporter, “If you want indictments where there is no evidence, you’ve got an ethical problem.” Blanche totally corrupted DOJ. Impeach him.
The Stakes Could Not Be Higher
Dems are making the point, and the Post Office is safe — for now.

Republicans’ midterm convention last night featured Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison for creating a digital drug market.

He’s one of the many white collar criminals pardoned by Trump, oftentimes in exchange for hefty donations.

Here’s what you need to know.

Last week, Danbury area residents showed up in huge numbers to draw the line on the brutal ICE tactics being used there - including traumatizing kids at school bus stops.

It's action like this that saves our democracy.

This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word.

Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality.

Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too.

Two giants who helped change America.

Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾
