AOC: I believe in guaranteeing health care to every American. I believe in raising the minimum wage. I believe in strong unions. And so, yeah, if a Republican wants to call a stronger union communist, they’re more than welcome to do that. I’m not going to be deterred.

If you watched Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing, what you saw was gaslighting. He promised senators he’d listen to Epstein survivors. They met. According to Liz Stein, they got no real answers, no accountability, and no meaningful commitments. She says they were treated like political pawns.

Breaking: People who are lucky enough to be healthy throughout the year are committing a fraud for buying insurance in case they are not healthy throughout the year. It's really cool how Oz has no idea how insurance works.

Dr Oz on ACA "fraud" -- "Of the people who signed up, 40% never use the insurance. Let me ask you, John, you have health insurance -- do you use it once a year? In Obamacare right now 40% of the people ostensibly signed up never use the insurance ... we have a lot of fake people on the policies"

Noteable that there are no options for listening internationally without access to the internet, or to shortwave World Service alternatives. I cannot help but feel that removing and reducing analogue influence from the radio waves is rather short-sighted, given *gestures at world politics*

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

172 reports of sexual abuse and assault at the Tacoma’s Northwest ICE Detention Center. And instead of accountability, survivors were met with failed investigations, ignored evidence, and a system that protects private prisons over human lives.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.
