Shawn Fain for President! Centrist Democrats hate the union leader because he puts working the class first.

Abundance bros want to keep the Democratic party controlled by the professional middle class, with the working class firmly restricted to the back seat.

El Salvador’s President Says He Won’t Return Maryland Man Who Was Wrongly Deported An Oval Office meeting between President Trump and President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador was a blunt example of Mr. Trump’s defiance of the federal courts.

This is truly terrifying. The White House claims the right to deport people without due process. If they can do it to Garcia, they can so it to you.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year.

This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes β€” which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year.

See what DOGE is really about?

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed, warned that a recent measles outbreak shows how confidence in science and public health is being β€œundermined.”

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns β€” but said Kennedy wishes β€œsubservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Billions From State Health Services (Gift Article) States were told Monday that they could no longer use grants that were funding infectious disease management and addiction services.

Cutting health services will increase health costs dramatically. It will also reduce the federal budget deficit by 0.67%. The math here is absolutely idiotic. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?

Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.

Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.
