Say it isn’t so! We’re not welcome in states with the lowest ranks in education and life expectancy. And the highest ranks in maternal mortality and crime. So unfair!

"The Trump administration has secretly authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in Venezuela, according to U.S. officials, stepping up a campaign against Nicolás Maduro, the country’s authoritarian leader."

Republicans will starve American kids!
Republicans will inconvenience American travelers!
Republicans will bankrupt Americans on the Affordable Care Act!

And then Republicans will blame all this hurt on Democrats.

We don’t need Billionaires let alone a weird narcissistic Trillionaire yuck

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

🗣️Adelita is still not sworn in.

Let’s keep the pressure on and the momentum building. Change doesn’t come from complacency, it comes from persistence.

'Blunt Corruption': Trump DOJ Hands Google an Antitrust Win After Tech Giant's Ballroom Donation | Common Dreams Alphabet, Google's parent company, is contributing $22 million to the president's ballroom project.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.

Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Seems that Donald's "irrefutable fact" was refutable after all . . .

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Democrats need not to be complacent...they didn't necessarily win because they were good but it had a lot to do with how bad Trump, his regime, and policies are. Now is the time for Democrats to be on the offensive.

Trump has now overseen the two longest government shutdowns in history — with the current one reaching 36 days.

He ran on fixing a broken system and helping working people.

Instead, he’s making the system even worse and shafting working people by gutting the social safety net.

Over the past week, the Trump regime has flip-flopped on using contingency funds to fund SNAP multiple times.

Meanwhile, 42 million Americans are still at risk of going hungry while Trump sows confusion and chaos.

Don’t forget what’s at stake here.

Of course. Plain, outright theft of another country’s resources. No better than Russia in Ukraine.

Still?

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

"Because Trump and his fellow GOP 'leaders' have made their refusal to negotiate with Democrats a bizarre 'principle,' when — as seems increasingly certain — they’re forced to make a deal to reopen the government, Trump, the self-styled dictatorial strongman, will end up substantially diminished."

Robert Reich What Democrats SHOULD Be Doing

Fighting against Trump isn’t enough.

It's time for Democrats to show America what they're fighting FOR — and embrace the fresh, new voices leading the way.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.

Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.

This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.
