3 F-15s shot down. Bare minimum $300M+ lost.

While Trump bombs the Middle East, DOJ illegally hid Epstein files naming him in child abuse.

Your tax dollars funding needless war & risking soldiers' lives instead of improving life at home.

The American People deserve better.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

While bombs drop on Iran, the DOJ illegally withholds FBI interviews with a woman accusing Trump of sexual abuse as a minor.

Trump's name is throughout the Epstein files. Documents were illegally hidden. Convenient timing?

Live updates: Iran’s foreign minister says supreme leader and president are alive, 'as far as I know' The U.S. and Israel struck Iran on Saturday.

Trump just bombed Iran after creating his "Board of Peace." Iran retaliated. Oil prices spike. Defense contractors celebrate. Your tax dollars fund war instead of healthcare. Netanyahu gets propped up & Trump/Epstein crimes get buried.

We pay while they profit.

TAKE ACTION: Automatic license plate readers across Michigan are photographing every passing car with ZERO state oversight. HB 5492 & 5493 would finally add guardrails.

State Department orders nonprofit libraries to stop processing passport applications The State Department has ordered nonprofit public libraries to stop taking passport applications, cutting off a popular local service.

πŸ” GOP passes SAVE Act requiring passports to #vote then State Dept shuts down passport services at libraries nationwide.

Passports cost hundreds and less than half of Americans have one.

Making documents harder to get while requiring them to vote = voter suppression.

Sorry about the #tariffs Donny 🎻

Strangely enough, if they get refunded you know who doesn't get that money? The American Taxpayer.

You know who does? Trump's Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick's former law firm, run by his own sons.

Nothing to see here.

Walter Cronkite's CBS was "the most trusted name in news." Today? Owned by a Trump supporter who promised to remake it, and he has. Layoffs. Killed stories. Propaganda masquerading as journalism.

Trump order pushes glyphosate production; Roundup chemical hated by MAHA Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again movement is largely opposed to glyphosate.

🚨 Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to force MORE production of Roundup, the cancer-causing weedkiller Bayer is paying $7.25 BILLION to settle lawsuits over.

Protecting corporate profits over American lives. More cancer. More poisoned land. Pure corruption.

Stop Rigging the Clean Water Act Tell the EPA: Don’t weaken state and tribal power to protect the #GreatLakes.

The EPA has proposed new rules that would weaken state and tribal authority under the Clean Water Act, making it easier for oil pipeline companies to push risky projects through federal permitting, even when they threaten water quality.

Tell them no!

The First Amendment is under siege. Journalists are being indicted and arrested. MAD joins coalition in support of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort and all those arrested by a weaponized Dept. of Justice. This egregious act is part of a broad assault on our First Amendment freedoms.

Don't let the unlawful arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort disappear from the news. Journalists' First Amendment rights are being threatened.

They're pulling ICE out of Minneapolis -- a WIN for solidarity & people power! But don't be fooled: this is PR not compassion. 16,840+ still face deportation. Celebrate this moment then keep fighting. The work continues nationwide.
