Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Another Israeli airstrike in Gaza. More people murdered. Since the ‘ceasefire’ over 1,230 Palestinians have been murdered in Gaza,and over 4,000 injured. There is no ‘ceasefire’ Stop selling UK arms to Israel.

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

If Democrats retake the majority in the Senate and I become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of my first acts will be to subpoena the bankers that helped Epstein carry out his crimes and help deliver real accountability.

What a pile of crap review. Typical of the rightwing NYTimes. The biased reviewer makes lots of space to criticize the subject without telling us much about the book. Or delving into what new the book reveals. America’s Most Divisive Historian Gets a New Biography www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/b...
