Helene damaged 73,000 NC homes. Some people are ‘losing hope’ waiting for help For many, support from aid programs only goes so far, and the struggle has stretched a year.

"A year after Helene, North Carolina’s new housing program funded with federal dollars has managed one completed repair."

Trump has no FEMA money to help Americans in need. Yet he recently gave TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS to help his right-wing friend in Argentina - done without Congressional approval?

It was a very interactive Breakfast Meeting Saturday morning. Thank you to all of the attendees and participants for a lively conversation on engaging your friends and neighbors in political discourse.

A majority of US children rely on Medicaid or CHIP, new study finds • SC Daily Gazette A majority of children in the United States rely on Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program at some point by their 18th birthday, and many experience periods of coverage loss, according to...

This is a direct attack by Republicans on American children.

There is no other way to spin it.

"The tax and spending law will reduce Medicaid funding by $1 trillion and cut enrollment by 10 million to 15 million people over the next decade"

Are we great yet?

The housing crisis under Donald Trump & JD Vance.

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Prices are already high—brace yourselves for a new wave of Trump tariffs.

"Grocery prices rose 0.6 percent from July to August, the steepest one-month gain in roughly three years, according to the Consumer Price Index. They’re now 2.7 percent higher than a year ago and up nearly 30 percent from before the pandemic."

The Democratic bill addresses the Republican healthcare crisis by reversing catastrophic healthcare cuts and permanently extending ACA tax credits.

Meanwhile, Republicans would rather shut the government down than keep healthcare affordable.

Trump’s Fake Emergencies are Straight Out of the Authoritarian Playbook Five (other) instances when President Trump used baseless "emergencies" to seize unwarranted power

"Trump is lying to justify his own authoritarian desire to deploy the military on the streets of America’s cities, while also commandeering a police force from a Democratic mayor. This isn’t the first time Trump has manufactured a fake 'emergency.' It is one of his favorite tactics."

Just got word that at the Broadview, IL facility I protested at yesterday, ICE fascists arrested Dana Briggs, a U.S. Air Force Veteran.

Trump claims he's getting "violent criminals" off our streets with ICE. No, he's going after military Veterans who oppose his fascist policies. Indefensible.

AOC: "If the Government shuts down, they are going to act like it wasn't their decision; it is their decision."

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

YouTube video by MSNBC 'This is a time for courage': TX State Rep. James Talarico on not being afraid in this divided time

House Rep James Talarico is a phenomenon to watch. We've seen videos of him speaking many times and his voice is one the nation could rally behind. He's just announced his intention to run for US Senate and we hope he is successful in that effort!

We've been sick of it since Day One years ago!

In rare interviews, federal judges criticize Supreme Court's handling of Trump cases Ten judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court needs to explain its rulings better, with some urging Chief Justice John Roberts to do more to defend the judiciary against external criticism.

"Judges are frustrated with the Supreme Court for increasingly overturning lower court rulings involving the Trump admin with little or no explanation.

Some judges believe the Supreme Court, and in particular Chief Justice John Roberts, could be doing more to defend the integrity of their work"

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

Facts don't care about our feeling, or so they constantly tell us.

So why do they hide from these facts? Confront them with the TRUTH!
