The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

I will not shed a tear over the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. Good riddance.

But make no mistake, I don’t trust that President Trump has a plan or is telling the truth, and you shouldn’t either.

88% of Americans say politics is broken. And as former Transportation Secretary @petebuttigieg.bsky.social tells @reason.com, it's been that way for years.

He shares why we can’t "just go back to the way things were," and how reforms like ranked choice voting can make our democracy work for all.

Why is Pete Hegseth trying to bully AI companies into giving him maximal control over powerful, potentially autonomous weapons? Does anyone really want the Signalgate King having this sort of power?

This is the type of statement that shows Dems also understand Iran is a threat.

Reminder: Ayatollah murdered tens of thousands of Iranians, Ukrainians, Syrians, Iraqis and Americans. This attack is unauthorized and incoherent in its planning but we should still root for the end of this regime because theyre a terrorist state.

Dems need to be careful with their words right now.

Zelenskyy says Putin has 'not broken' Ukrainians as he marks 4 years since Russia's all-out invasion Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that Russia has not β€œbroken Ukrainians” nor triumphed in its war.

Four years after Putin launched his brutal full-scale invasion, Russia still occupies 20% of Ukraine’s territory.Β 

Despite this, the Ukrainian people remain unbroken.Β 

The United States must remain clear-eyed and resolute. We cannot waver in our support for a free, sovereign, and secure Ukraine.

What to watch in the year’s first primary elections - FairVote The 2026 midterms officially kick off next week, with primary elections in Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina.

The 2026 midterms officially kick off next week, and a wave of congressional retirements has created crowded primaries across the U.S.

Some will be won w/ less than 50% of the vote. Others will go to costly runoffs.

Ranked choice voting would make these primaries better ⬇️ #RankedChoiceVoting

Marj Halperin: Crowded Illinois primary races frustrate voters and weaken candidates With so many candidates running for Congress in Illinois, establishment candidates and those with the most money have a clear advantage.

Crowded Dem congressional primaries in Illinois are β€œthe best argument I’ve seen for ranked choice voting.

#RankedChoiceVoting will encourage more candidates to run while giving voters more power in crowded fields.”

Today marks the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Since 2022, the conflict has been shaped by Zelenskyy's bravery in the face of Russian aggression and Putin's intentional targeting of Ukraine's civilian population. My latest in MSNOW,

Only 22% of Ukrainians now have a positive opinion of Trump. Only 30% of Poles still think America is a reliable ally. Trump has completely destroyed America's reputation in the world.
