Talarico: I've passed 60 bipartisan bills through the Texas legislature. We're told that it's a choice between people who fight and people who get things done. I think the people of Texas deserve a senator who can do both — and I've shown in the statehouse that I can do both.

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

I delivered all 3 of my kids at hospitals that no longer provide labor and delivery care. Maine has lost 10 birthing units in just the past decade. While I appreciate the challenges hospitals like Lincoln face, closing this unit would be devastating for patients, workers, and Midcoast communities.

MaineHealth says it's considering the closure because of staffing challenges and low birth rates.

Elon Musk dumped $25 million into a state Supreme Court race here in Wisconsin last year and it turned the race into a referendum on Elon Musk and his attempt to buy the election. The result was a 10 point loss for his candidate in a very purple state (that had just voted for Trump)

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

Brad Lander: "Under U.S. law – the Leahy Law – U.S. military aid is supposed to be conditioned on human rights compliance & I don't believe Israel is in compliance. What I want is a path toward rebuilding Gaza under Palestinian leadership, an end to settler violence & meaningful negotiations..."

Trump’s corruption relies on a complicit GOP & a captured SCOTUS. The only check on this regime is voting them out in November, passing court reform, & winning a true Senate majority. John Fetterman is an unreliable sellout who will vote with the GOP to ship your tax dollars to Israel. Vote smart!🤦🏾‍♂️

The scale of corruption in Trump’s second administration is head-spinning

Self-censorship in Trump's America is increasingly common and despite the administration’s growing unpopularity, criticism is muted
