He is 100% right and this is another reason I support his bid. And look: If Schumer stays leader, fine. But I hope that Van Hollen forces him to take this particular argument to heart. It's an illegal war. Do not fund it.

Van Hollen: "Right now, under our current leadership, we have a situation where they are not willing to use the most important power we have to end the war, which is to defund it. My view is we need to be listening to these individuals."

Top Senate Democrats are pushing BAAJA now, before their majority is seated, because it would never pass in a Democratic Congress. It’s a radical MAGA bill that undermines America’s crucial environmental laws.

Democrats like Whitehouse, Heinrich, Schumer, and Schatz are trying to ram this Project 2025 atrocity through a GOP-controlled lame-duck session weeks before Democrats take control. BAAJA advocates have argued that the legislation needs to move now.

The Democrats’ First Move After Their Big Win? A Giveaway to Big Oil. The party is about to take control of Congress. So why is it working with Republicans to pass a permitting reform bill that amounts to an irreversible environmental disaster?

One of these things is not like the others...RAHM EMANUEL. NO!!

Can Trump get anymore pathetic. Vance will instead focus his attention on combating purported corruption and crime in Democratic-run cities and states, the president directed in a Truth Social Post, adding that the U.S. doesn’t “need a deal with Iran”…

Everyone around Trump is corrupt and incompetent. Nvidia scandal: Howard Lutnick under pressure over alleged lack of action. US commerce secretary faces sack as warnings emerge about alleged Chinese spy’s ties to Jensen Huang and delays in adding Megaspeed to trade blacklist.

Elon Musk and Trump committing war crimes. Russia has attacked a hospital in the centre of Kyiv, close to several western embassies, after Volodymyr Zelenskyy said speed restrictions on SpaceX’s Starshield system had made it harder for Ukraine to shoot down enemy drones.

Trump and Musk committing more war crimes. Russia strikes hospital in central Kyiv after SpaceX system falters again. Volodymyr Zelenskyy says speed restrictions on Starshield system made it harder for Ukraine to shoot down drone.

We need to expand Medicare, social security, and provide new programs to make life easier for young families. We need better public schools for our students, free community college and trade programs, and a slew of new workplace rights.

Winning working-class votes means reflecting working-class values. The “biggest single contributor” to winning blue-collar voters “is embracing cultural positions that resonate with the working class”.

The revolt against globalism isn’t going away, Democrats spent more than $58m on ads bashing tariffs and exactly $0 on making a positive case for a new trade agenda. Obviously, Trump’s tariffs have failed to bring good jobs home, and nary a Republican will defend them today.

Affordability’ is not an economic program. Pledge to balance the budget on the back of rich tax cheats, big pharma, Silicon Valley and Wall Street, all of whom have grown fat off taxpayer largesse. Reinvest the lost revenue in American industry, American infrastructure and the American worker.

The reality is only 47% of voters without a college-degree pulled the lever for Democrats, as compared with 51% of whom voted for Republicans. That’s an improvement over 2024, but there is a long way to go.

I want to recognize the Elias Law Group team that spent the last week in Mississippi representing Scott Colom to ensure every legal vote was counted.

If the midterms showed us the resolve and determination of the American people, the preceding two years demonstrated the fecklessness, cowardice, and selfishness of American elites—many of whom would frankly do anything to remain “on top,” even if it meant bowing down to fascists.

Normally, most of us wouldn’t care if a company did bad succession planning. People running companies make mistakes, and that’s on them. But Nvidia is different. It’s a bottleneck supplier to the AI buildout.

Jeffries’ “Leadership” Looks Like a Failed Impeachment Vote.

An investigation by the Washington Post found that Rubio has attended at least 10 games in the last two seasons, including five this fall, and that of 23 total trips made to Gainesville on military aircraft, 15 were “personal” in nature.

More Trump administration corruption and stealing from the taxpayers. Marco Rubio reportedly spent over $1.2m of taxpayer money traveling to son’s football games Ethics watchdogs question necessity of the US secretary of state flying between DC and Gainesville so often.

Oil slicks seen from space: the devastating impact of boat strikes on fragile Gulf ecosystems.Since the US war on Iran began in February, there have been hundreds of oil spills, posing a ‘generational’ threat to wildlife.
