Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people Kansas' new anti-transgender law, SB 244, invalidates driver's licenses and birth certificates for over a thousand transgender people.

Transgender folks in Kansas just had their IDs invalided.

The mainstream media isn’t giving this story enough attention. Please repost to help amplify! This is unacceptable.

When you have an audience or a business you have to ensure that you always provide a lot more value to people than you extract from them. If you don't then, long term, it all breaks down.

Young people I talk to today...they feel like the whole entire world has broken this contract with them.

An invoice from Illinois to the White House claims $8.67 billion is owed for illegally imposed tariff taxes on families.

WOW!!!! → Gov. Pritzker is billing Trump for $8.6 BILLION from illegal tariffs to send back to the pockets of working families! 👏

Young people are ready to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2026.

We will stop Donald Trump. We will end Mike Johnson’s tenure as Speaker. We will take back control of the Senate.

They're calling it a "FORECLOSURE BLOODBATH" under Trump. He has f*cked up the economy so much that tens of thousands of Americans just lost their homes.

🚨 Banks seized 40,534 properties in January 2026, a *32%* increase year-over-year. 🚨

Even on Valentine's Day, Trump's cronies are scamming voters with a threat that their tariff rebate is "UNCONFIRMED."

After Trump's pardon, Rep. Cuellar (D) paid back the favor by siding with MAGA extremism today to pass the SAVE America Act to disenfranchise millions of voters.

It's now up to the Senate to STOP this dangerous bill, and we need you to tell your Senator to VOTE NO!

Respectful. Humble. Empathetic.

We need more leaders like Barack + Michelle Obama to step up.

There was a time when the office of the President of the United States stood as a symbol of integrity.

Leaders like President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama reminded the country what that standard looks like at its best.

"We want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many — 15 places ... the Republicans ought to nationalize the voting..."

Trump is openly challenging the core of our free and fair election system.

We can't let his tiny orange hands meddle with our elections.

The DOJ is now threatening to appeal the release of Liam Ramos and bring him back to ICE.

This 5-year-old is just the latest subject of Trump's disgusting games.

Text showing FEC 2025 year-end funds: RNC receipts $172,282,201 cash on hand $95,130,128 debt $0; DNC receipts $145,798,977 cash $14,062,343 debt $17,525,604

As the DNC's net worth is negative today, it is more important than ever to directly fund candidates and independent groups who do the work and aren't still paying off almost $20 million of old campaign debt.

FIRST: In 2015, Trump claimed his net worth was $10B.

THEN: Earlier this month, Trump froze $10B in funding to five blue states for child care.

NOW: He's suing the American people for $10B.

Only in a dictator's America.

Additionally, a vote to shut our government down will
not defund ICE. DHS has $178B in funding from the One
Big Beautiful Bill Act, which I did not vote for.
I reject the calls to defund or abolish ICE. I strongly
disagree with many strategies and practices ICE
deployed in Minneapolis, and believe that must change.
I want a conversation on the DHS appropriations bill
and support stripping it from the minibus.
It is unlikely that will happen and our country will suffer
another shutdown.
We must find a way forward and I remain committed to
being a voice of reason and common sense.
- U.S. SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN
ON DHS PRESENCE IN MINNESOTA AND THE MINIBUS APPROPRIATIONS

Translation: Fetterman will vote YES with Republicans on the ICE budget.

Fetterman is a fake democrat who has betrayed the people of Pennsylvania.

Your fear means you see what’s happening.

Your exhaustion means you care.

And caring right now is an act of resistance.

Please remember that Trump's plan is to flood the zone with chaos, cruelty, and nonstop outrage until your nervous system gives up.

We won't walk away.
