Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

C'mon Virginians! The amendment is only for 4 years. Vote YES and tell the GOP, especially Hot Wheels Abbott, to shove their illegal gerrymandering to steal 5 more seats up their backsides.
🔥 @repauchincloss.bsky.social to RFK JR: “FDA issued 3 vouchers based on a text from JOE ROGAN—flies in the face of your commitment to put science over politics. I want safety/efficacy to be standards to approve psychedelics, not Trump needing support for a disastrous war.”

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
