Median family income in the US increased from $10,000 in 1971 to $106,000 today, a 10x increase.

However, the median cost of homes increased from $25,000 to $445,000, a 17x increase.

And the average cost of healthcare per person increased from $350 to $14,600, a 42x increase.

THIS IS INSANE.

The Pentagon was already one of the biggest culprits of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Now we find out Pete Hegseth has been spending our money on steak and lobster?

Gas prices keep climbing, and Massachusetts may see some of the biggest hikes Disruptions in the global oil supply are driving up prices, and New England’s fuel market leaves the state especially exposed.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one of his Administration.

Instead, he's driven the US into war & working people are already footing the bill at the gas pump.

And my Republican colleagues refuse to do anything about it with their so-called majority.

Brendan Carr, wearing glasses, a dark suit, and a red patterned tie, speaks into a microphone. A headline reads: "FCC Chair Threatens to Revoke Broadcasters’ Licenses Over War Coverage." Photo by Eric Lee for The New York Times.

Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, threatened on Saturday to revoke broadcasters’ licenses over their coverage of the war with Iran. His comments came after President Trump criticized the news media’s coverage in a post on social media. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...

What the DeVoses alone spend annually in political cash to privatize schools, let govt into school bathrooms, and ban books would be enough to underwrite a private school scholarship program for a generation of kids.

These billionaires are trying to change—and own—politics, not act humanely.

This is underreported story. But it’s important.

Acts of domestic terrorism are predictably spiking in the aftermath of our attack on Iran - and Trump and Patel gutted the FBI counterterrorism team, leaving the country intentionally exposed.

It's time to put money back in the pockets of hardworking folks, not just rich people. My new bill will lower taxes for middle-class families, and it's all paid for by having millionaires pay their fair share.

Older Chicagoans at high risk of losing SNAP food assistance as new work rules kick in Able-bodied adults 55 to 64 years old must work or volunteer 80 hours a month by May. Last year, fewer than half had enough work hours.

Thanks to Donald Trump, American seniors will go hungry while the rich get tax breaks.

It’s clear where his priorities lie, and they aren’t with you.

Trump talks about more bombing “just for fun” while FCC chair Brendan Carr threatens broadcasters for not depicting the war the way Trump wants (and dares to call that “the public interest”). This insane regime can’t end soon enough.

"The Trump Administration invoked emergency powers to allow a company to restart an oil pipeline off the California coast that state officials have kept offline since it ruptured in 2015 and caused one of the worst spills in the state’s history..."
