The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

The pink hat lady’s full video. You aren’t angry enough.

A Black man went to the hospital after a car accident, complaining of a headache and fearing a concussion. But instead of getting medical help, the nurse mocked him, calling him “Drunky McDrunk Pants” and insisting he was intoxicated, despite his repeated denials. She was rude, dismissive, and called the police, who accused him of being “belligerent.” He eventually took a breathalyzer just to end the harassment and passed. Now he’s preparing to sue the hospital for their misconduct.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes near $1 billion in new contracts for Musk in just 2 weeks: "This is nothing more than a money grab. He's not out there trying to save money for the American people, he's lining his pockets."

DOGE is a trojan horse to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections. If DOGE actually wanted to cut waste, it would address the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

Breaking news: Israeli historian Lee Mordechai's report documenting Israeli war crime depravity in Gaza – 124 pages, 1400 footnotes.  "I felt that I couldn't go on living in my bubble, that we're talking about capital offenses, and that what's going on is just too large, and contradicts the values I was raised on here," Mordechai told @haaretzcom.

Many Israeli citizens were killed by Israeli forces on October 7. 28 Apache helicopters used all their ammunition and had to be reloaded. Mainstream media is finally catching up to this mass Hannibal Directive. Here’s our report with @pularjs on what really happened on Oct 7:

The top 1% in America became $14.6 trillion richer since the beginning of the pandemic & now own a record $44.6 trillion in wealth while they're evading some $150 billion a year in taxes. Meanwhile, over 60% of workers are living paycheck to paycheck. That has got to change.

Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.

I voted tonight against the $858 billion Pentagon budget, which is 10% more than last year. At a time when we spend more than the next 11 nations combined on defense, we should invest in health care, jobs, housing and education – not more weapons of destruction.

Big banks are trying to make a profit by building two colossal new prisons in Alabama. If completed, they will guarantee the mass incarceration of (mostly Black) people in Alabama for generations to come. Use this portal to tell the banks: DROP THE DEAL. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-b…

Many have rightfully pointed out that poor and working class women of color and trans people who can become pregnant will be the most impacted by the criminalization of abortion.

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?
