Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course?

Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

From your grocery bill to your paycheck, monopolies are making you less financially secure and ultimately less free. For The Illusion of Choice: How Big Business Controls Your Life (ft. Lina Khan)

For too long, our government stopped vigorously enforcing laws that keep Corporate America in check.

Corporations got more powerful while our basic economic freedoms went unprotected.

Someone prove this wrong.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms. 

But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Remember this.

You know it’s a good bill when they have to threaten each other to vote for it

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy...

"That's just how it is."

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Well that was quick

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Medicaid covers 64% of people receiving treatment for substance use disorder, making it the largest provider of addiction treatment in the country.

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

We are witnessing an epidemic of the abuse of the power of the federal government, including the criminal system, to target and intimidate Democrats and their supporters. Trump will escalate this until people stand up to him.

It is time we all have the courage to peacefully stand up and say enough!
