Donald Trump and Stephen Miller's immigration agenda isn't about going after the worst of the worst.

If that was what they were doing, they wouldn't be terrorizing entire neighborhoods and hardworking folks β€” including U.S. citizens β€” at car washes and Home Depot parking lots.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

If you care about ensuring access to Medicaid and other safety net programs, now is the time to take action! The US House is planning to strip access to health care away from an estimated 10M Americans.

Why do Elon "Social Security's a Ponzi scheme" Musk and his DOGE cronies need to stick their fingers in your personal data β€” your work history, income, benefits, and health records?

Trump and Musk need to get their hands off Americans' Social Security.

Trump promised jobs. Michigan’s unemployment rate spiked to 5.5%, the 2nd highest spike nationwide.

Trump promised lower costs. Tariffs will drive prices up. 🧡

Former N.H. Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said he will NOT run for Senate in 2026.

Great news for Democrats such as Chris Pappas (@chrispappasnh.bsky.social) because Sununu was the GOP's best candidate for this race.

This race is ranked LEAN DEMOCRAT by Cook*.

RFK Jr. needs to have testing done to determine the extent of the damage done by the worm discovered dead in his brain. I'm sure most of Trump's Cabinet would fail a psych eval.

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Donald Trump may want to call this β€˜Liberation Day,’ but there’s nothing liberating for those who are grappling with the high costs of food, housing, and utilities.

Tariffs are a tax – a tax on working families, a tax on groceries, and a tax on other everyday necessities.
