Trump didn’t “reform” Medicaid. He looted it. Hundreds of billions stripped from coverage so the top end could keep a permanent tax holiday. Work-requirement red tape and six-month redeterminations aren’t “integrity.” They’re a bureaucratic eviction notice for people who can’t hire a lobbyist.

Missouri GOP Secretary of State Denny Hoskins folds. It's official. The Republican gerrymandering attempt to game the 2026 elections in Missouri has failed.

The labor movement gave us weekends, 8 hour work days, and ensured that our kids can go to school rather than work. Honored to fight for unions every day. Happy Labor Day to all those who have fought for a fairer economy in the richest country in the world.

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

under remarked on aspect of trump is his deep hatred of natural beauty and the natural world.

OMG did yall know that man in the White House is changing East Potomac Park (including Hains Point) into a “championship golf course”?! They’ve already started cutting down the trees. And some of the cherry blossom trees that are only found one place on earth, DC.

Well, this is pretty f***ed up. The White House has launched an official government arcade featuring games designed to promote Trump administration policies. One has you play as a Border Patrol agent rounding up migrants. Another, called “Build the Wall,” asks players to defend the border from what

When you claim renewable energies aren’t workable—but you attach solar panels to all your dystopian Flock surveillance cameras.

I don’t think folks don’t understand how much Trump’s trade war will hurt states like Missouri…

Palestinian painter Sliman Mansour, a defining voice in modern Palestinian art, has died at 79 after a long illness. For 50 years, he painted Palestine through its landscapes, people, traditions and history, turning memories of displacement into powerful expressions of identity and resilience.

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: DHS legal opinion justifying ICE entering homes without a judicial warrant is nothing more than an email written by ICE Deputy Principal Legal Advisor Adam Loiacono, and DHS refuses to release it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

EXCLUSIVE: DHS Refuses to Release Email Justifying Warrantless Entry by ICE

I sued to obtain the General Counsel Memo justifying ICE entering homes without judicial warrants. Turns out it’s not a memo at all - it’s an email - and they’ve wrongly redacted it.

A federal judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s bid to overturn her conviction and get out of prison, calling her claims “all meritless” and “all or almost all… frivolous.” The judge said the newly released Epstein files do not exonerate Maxwell. In fact, where relevant, they “incriminate her.”

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

When the Indiana Senate refused to do mid-decade gerrymandering, Trump posted about it nonstop & got directly involved in taking out the senators who voted against it. But when thousands of people in IN have been without power for 2 weeks, Trump posted nothing and doesn’t care.

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE
