The mother of the Oregon gunman said her son was “a good boy” and she’d seen no signs he was violent: “If I could have prevented this, I would have.”
Police just confirmed she gave her 16-year-old the gun he used to kill four people as a birthday present. nytimes.com/2026/10/16/us/be…

One hour of minimum-wage work used to cover one pound of ground beef—with money left over.
But on day 637 of Trump's regime, families can't afford beef, let alone the rest of dinner.
What happened to lowering prices on day one?

For more than a year, President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has acted as one of the nation’s top diplomats, without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing a single financial disclosure.
If you’re asking how that’s legal, it’s not. We sued. ms.now/opinion/jared-kushner…

Women in state prison are more likely to have a disability, struggle with mental health, and been unhoused as a child. By almost any measure, women in prison are worse off than men — leading up to and during incarceration.
Prison is no answer for marginalized, traumatized women.

Americans shouldn't pay the price for mistakes made by the Dept. of Education, but that's exactly what happened to this public service worker: his loans were forgiven through PSLF, then reinstated after he retired. Read more here: shorturl.at/z3IzH

This type of rhetoric is a coordinated power grab, in an effort to keep certain people from voting and keep votes from counting. Working people won’t be manipulated, intimidated, or silenced!
President Trump has declined to rule out declaring a national emergency related to the 2026 midterms. Legal experts told Reuters such a move could trigger confusion, litigation and certification delays reut.rs/4yUJ5mY @specialreports

The Senators we elected this year will serve six-year terms.
That means the Senators we elect in November have a choice: Allow an automatic 22% cut to Social Security benefits, or finally force the rich to pay their fair share.
Who do you trust to make that choice?

Here in Illinois, SNAP enrollment is already down more than 20% since the Big, Ugly Law passed. Food pantries are stretched and the federal government is shifting onto states — money that has to come from somewhere. This is creating a crisis and handing the bill to the families and community organizations least equipped to handle it. We have to fight to restore these cuts.

THIS IS A LIE.
Trump: “Prices are coming way down.”
His own government’s latest numbers:
🔺 Overall prices: +3.7%
🔺 Gas: +34.2%
🔺 Energy: +20.4%
🔺 Electricity: +4.4%
🔺 Shelter: +3.2%
Prices didn’t go “down down down.”
THEY WENT UP UP UP.
You cannot gaslight Americans about the price of living when WE’RE THE ONES PAYING THE BILLS.

Domestic violence is a health policy issue. Without affordable, stable coverage, the cost of medical care can become another obstacle for survivors of intimate partner violence.

To be clear, evil billionaire scumbag Zuckerberg shutting down the official No Kings account in the middle of nationwide protests isn’t a mistake, it’s an assault on a free speech and expression, it’s pure fascism.

People in power are counting on us to stay home. They think we’ll be too tired, too busy, too afraid.
We will prove them wrong.

On Friday, the Justice Department threatened to prosecute California election officials who knowingly count mail-in ballots from people the Trump administration identified as “likely noncitizens.”

Inside an ICE facility, women talked about the 911 calls that landed them there — from men who had beat them, choked them, threatened deportation.
“I had suffered from domestic violence,” one woman said. “But the one who ended up in trouble was me.”
