I'm an old woman who loves to talk. Vote blue down the ballot! Love to garden and all animals! Love the Chiefs!! Blue crew resister!

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.

Today's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

From Stuart Greenberg: GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are assholes!! If they really wanted to do the right thing, they’d use their new found power to get all the Epstein Files released before voting to advance Todd Blanche. Instead they roll over, sit up and perform on cue.

An 84-year-old woman living on $1,300 a month was allegedly tricked into a $113,000 solar loan for panels that never produced a single watt of electricity. Now the loan is canceled, the lien is removed, her credit is being repaired and Sunlight Financial is paying $100,000.

This has been a problem from the beginning. Dismantle ICE… Native Americans are U.S. citizens. Reports of ICE questioning and detaining Native Americans, including challenges to tribal IDs, should concern every American. Don’t tell me this is only about immigration status anymore.

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

RFK Jr. ordered the CDC to stop tracking cyclosporiasis, because, well, "If you don't track it, you don't have any cases." Now, with people dying from it, the story can no longer be covered up. RFK Jr. needs to be put in a place where he can no longer harm people.
