Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like weโ€™re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

In all, 62 senators are on this bill.

I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

After getting blocked the first time, Sen. Mike Lee is revising his land grab plan and trying to sneak it back into the โ€œBig ๐Ÿ’ฉ Bill.โ€ The new proposal would force the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors There is not another military in the World that could have done this.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump has effectively launched the U.S. into war without congressional approval, without a declaration, and entirely on impulse.

Call your Congressperson and demand Congress to speak out and to take immediate action to stop the U.S. from entering a full-scale war.

Wall Street Gets A Trump Tax Break To Fire Workers Lawmakers quietly added a line that effectively subsidizes Wall Street buying up companies, slashing wages, closing fact

The Republican budget bill includes new tax breaks to private equity firms who take over smaller businesses, load them with debt, close factories, and fire workers.

Yet another Wall Street giveaway by the "party of the working class."

250+ million acres of public lands eligible for sale in SENR bill The bill mandates disposal of over 2 million acres of BLM and National Forest lands; public lands eligible for sale in t

Millions of acres worth of public land would be put up for sale in the Senate version of Trumpโ€™s big, ugly bill.

Itโ€™s a massive privatization of a public good that everyone gets to enjoy โ€“ all to finance tax cuts that predominantly flow to the super-rich.

Democrats cannot complain about Trumpโ€™s authoritarianism while ignoring their own constitutional responsibility regarding taking the country to war. Democrats must support Sen. Kaineโ€™s War Powers Resolution.

The U.S. must not get involved in Netanyahuโ€™s war.
