It’s a good time to learn (and teach) the history of the Scopes Trial, as attacks on science and expertise are on the rise again.

Democrats seize on a new issue to use against the GOP: Social Security As Democrats link Trump to Social Security’s struggles, he reiterates his promise to protect the agency’s benefits while also carrying out sweeping staff and spending cuts.

This is the kind of headline (and mentality) that really annoys me. Social Security is more than just a political football. For real people all across America-outside of the beltway-this is an issue with devastating consequences. People are already hurting. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump's first 100 days have been the worst of any president in America history, hands down.

Why Trump’s Sinking Poll Numbers Matter Plunging popularity can’t by itself defeat Trump. But it can help juice the opposition to Trumpism.

"We shouldn’t underestimate what’s happened. Think how grim our political landscape would look if Trump had a 50% or 55% approval. The drop in public support is not sufficient to ensure a successful political counteroffensive, but it’s a necessary precondition." www.thebulwark.com/p/why-trump-...

Don’t let these politicians fool you, the SAVE Act ain't saving ANYTHING except them!

The bill that the House just passed could block 21 million Americans from voting if they don’t have expensive government documents.

Call your senators and urge them to vote NO.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates.

Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.

70% of these donations went to Republicans.

Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Laura Loomer Pushes Trump to Fire National Security Officials in Oval Office Meeting During the 30-minute meeting, Laura Loomer excoriated National Security Council officials in front of the president and Michael Waltz, the national security adviser.

How is this not one of the biggest scandals of the year? This bigoted loon sitting down with the president in the Oval and demanding he fire national security officials. Insane. The normalization of Trump and the far continues apace.
