$4 BILLION — So corrupt.

There is no debating this. Anyone who says otherwise is telling on themselves.

Redistricting and Latinos

ICE out is a good start, but in order to secure a true shift and stop the insanity real immigration reform and civil liberty legislation must be part of the mix.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Trump says voter id will mean secure elections that we can all trust. Well in the 2020 election, Georgia had the strictest voter id in the country. Yet Trump is still to this day claiming the election was stolen in that state. To Trump and GOP, if they win it was fair, if they lose it was fraud.

Did you see this today?

Anti #ICE protesters carried a MASSIVE U.S.
Constitution through the streets of Minneapolis.
Not a flag.
Not a slogan.
The Constitution.
Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.

Right now, we have a tax code that forces firefighters and teachers to pay a higher share of their income than many billionaires and major corporations.

We need to change that - because our economy requires it, and because it is simply the right thing to do.

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

Canada agreed to pay for the full cost of construction, land acquisition on the US side, and connecting Interstate highway links, AND also isn't charging tolls on the US side of the bridge. This amounts to saying America should be allowed to steal Canadian money.
Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Trump's bonkers US-Canada bridge tantrum: "There's a valid concern on the part of the president that this bridge was allowed to be built, they didn't necessarily use American content. There's a question as to the proceeds of tolls."

A new Cato Institute study underscores that working immigrants have been a massive net positive to our economy for decades.

Not only are Trump’s policies cruel, they’re also really dumb.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

Epstein survivors released a powerful Super Bowl ad demanding justice from a Justice Department that has failed them for years.
The crimes were real.
The harm was real.
The silence is deliberate. Survivors deserve answers, not cover-ups.

Watch it.
Share it.
Demand justice.
