After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:

-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000

This is what class warfare looks like.

Senate Republicans are fast-tracking the GENIUS Act, which would greenlight a financial system enabling the ultra-rich to exploit unstable crypto schemes.

The rest of us will be left holding the bag.

Every Senate Democrat must vote against Trump's corrupt crypto scam.

Video shows minutes leading up to Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest | CNN New footage appears to show the minutes leading up to the arrest of Columbia University graduate and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil. The video, first obtained by CNN was secured by Khalil’s legal...

The Trump administration can say what they want but the video couldn’t be clearer: Plainclothes, warrantless ICE agents ambushed Mahmoud Khalil β€” and he did not resist or try to flee.

This arrest was illegal and unjustified. He must be released.

Ted Cruz, man’s most punchable face, doing an interview with Fox, not a news service.

Rafael Edward Cruz, aka Fled Cruz: β€œI think birthright citizenship is terrible policy”

Which I guess makes sense when you consider he was born in Canada and his dad in Cubaβ€”or when you consider he’s walking excrement.

I visit rural hospitals all the time. The Republican health care cuts won't just hurt them – they'll force them to close their doors.

Patients will lose health insurance, skip getting care because they can't afford it, and then end up in the ER when it becomes too serious to ignore.

The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.
