Young people are losing hope for the future. Prices are high and going up. Buying a home is out of reach. College is expensive and there's no student debt relief. Climate change is destroying the planet. Rights and freedoms are being stripped away. This is not sustainable.
BREAKING: Trump is deploying the National Guard in D.C. to distract you from the fact he will not release the Epstein files. I am in Washington, D.C. I feel safe. I am reporting live. Spread the word. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvXR...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but this is where all the criminals hang out in D.C.
First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out — Because I was not an immigrant. Then they came for the homeless, and I did not speak out — Because I was not homeless. < YOU ARE HERE >
In any just system, the President would be stepping in to stop this madness. But we no longer live in a just system. Our society is dominated by the wealthy and power-hungry. History has shown us that extreme imbalance can only be fixed with extreme action. The time for words is coming to an end.
White House blocked funding for after-school and summer programs, the day before funds were to be sent - this hurts poor kids the most. penncapital-star.com/education/tr...
Trump administration withholds $230 million for Pennsylvania schools • Pennsylvania Capital-Star
Education advocates said the failure to release the funds was reckless and unlawful and would affect the state's most vulnerable students.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight
The most surprising thing to me about Kate Miller leaving with Musk is that Stephen Miller is married. That poor woman.
We need to as passionate about loving other people as they are about hating them.
America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.
Kristi Noem incorrectly defined habeas corpus as the president’s right to deport people. Huh? That’s… not even close.
IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!
Pete Hegseth is a liar. These are war plans. End of story. Hegseth is unfit for the job and should resign or be fired immediately.
They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...
Right now, we have an authoritarian president. He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts. Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.
Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.
Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead. House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead. We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.
The American people want to see Congress fight to restore government. Bending the knee to Trump and Musk at this moment does the opposite of that. Senate Democrats must hold firm against the CR. Do your job.
Yes a shutdown would have consequences. And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible. They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way. Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.
Predictably, the Russian reaction to the Ukrainian unconditional ceasefire offer is that Russia has a condition: that Ukraine concede its sovereignty to Russia. Now Russia will try to get the Americans to do for them things they cannot do for themselves.
Chuck Schumer is incapable of meeting this moment. He should resign and let someone who actually wants to fight lead his caucus.
