We are sick and tired of our government telling us that we don't have money to feed and house our children, while spending billions to drop bombs on children halfway around the world.

We must have politics that invest in life!

Trump’s new budget ignores dying Americans and gives away record sums to the US military President’s proposed budget slashes health department by 12% while throwing $1.5tn – a 42% increase – to the military

“Americans die of treatable conditions at nearly twice the rate as Spaniards, French, Japanese and Australians,” but Trump wants to divert huge sums from healthcare to vastly increase the military to fight his pointless wars.

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

"Even if you produce more oil than you consume, you still pay the same global price for oil everyone else pays & thus still suffer from supply constrictions & high prices."

This basic, elementary fact -- global energy markets 101 -- refutes basically the entire GOP energy policy & worldview.

The man who watches Trump all day, every day Aaron Rupar spends up to 80 hours a week following the US president, from meandering speeches to impromptu press conferences. He says it’s ‘pretty bleak’

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Trump is giving $1 billion of your money to a French energy company to prevent it from bringing low-cost clean power to the East Coast. While your energy bills go up, Trump is making you pay to stop the solutions. I'm demanding answers and for our money back with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov.

Sex test used in IOC’s new transgender ban more likely to exclude from Olympics intersex women who were assigned female at birth Genetic testing is now required to participate in women’s events in the Olympics. But the new policy oversimplifies biological sex and risks discrimination against some female athletes.

“Sex testing has switched from genitals to genes to testosterone levels, and now back to genes. While the stated goal for these policies was to uncover males pretending to be female, they have never found any. Instead, they identified and excluded intersex women.”

Sex testing in sport harms women.

Billionaire Wealth Has Doubled So Far This Decade - The American Prospect An estimate of a new wealth tax proposal shows that it would generate twice as much revenue as it did when it was first

Elizabeth Warren’s 2021 wealth tax would have raised $3 trillion over 10 years.

Because billionaire wealth has grown so much since then, her new wealth tax proposal would raise $6.2 trillion.

Still wondering if we should tax the rich?

The deep complexity of public opinion about abortion New research shows that support for abortion depends on both timing and justification.

The thing that's most disturbing about this article is the assumption that the public - the ignorant opinions of complete strangers - should have some kind of say over a woman's decision over her own life.

Goddamn, Melville could really cook.

California is beating its own climate goals ahead of schedule:

✅ Two-thirds of the state grid powered by clean energy
✅ More than 2.5M electric vehicles
✅ 201K public chargers (more than gas nozzles)

Ted Lieu: “Undocumented immigrants voting in elections is an infinitesimal problem — to vote, you have to first register — how many undocumented are going to go, ‘yes, I'm going to give all my info to the govt that's trying to maybe deport me.’ No way — so this is a problem that doesn't even exist”

If Paramount can shell out billions of dollars to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, then they can pay their unionized CBS staff a fair wage.

I stand with the CBS staff who walked out today as they fight these corporate giants for essential protections and fair contracts.

Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022.

New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year.

And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics.

We still have power to fix the system.
