Trump is threatening to block construction of a publicly owned bridge connecting Detroit and Canada, despite supporting the project in his first term.

A billionaire who privately owns a competing bridge met with Howard Lutnick just days before Trump announced his opposition.

Funny how that works.

Bastards! Let russians that support the war participate, yet ban people for actually paying tribute to the victims.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Don’t believe the lies you hear about immigrant and undocumented workers.

The real villains are the greedy corporations that want workers fighting one another while they rake in record profits at all workers’ expense.

Donald Trump said his deportation machine would only go after the “worst of the worst.”

He lied — and DHS’s own data proves it.

Across the country ICE protests are popping up. After the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, it's particularly important to know your rights when dealing with federal agents.

Please share this with your communities and please stay safe!

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

Not one more penny for ICE.

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why?

So they don't kick in until after the midterms.

Help spread the word.

The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009. That's unacceptable.

In California, we're about growing the economy and wages for working people:
💵 $16.90 minimum wage
💵 $25 minimum wage for health care workers
💵 $20 minimum wage for fast food workers

Attendees at last night’s White House dinner honoring MBS were all doing business with him and Saudi Arabia.

Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible.

Power and wealth are honored, even if the honoree has greenlit a brutal murder.

Trump welcomes MBS to the White House today to discuss a new arms deal.

Trump's family also has lucrative ongoing real estate deals with the Saudis.

He'll overlook the murder of Jamal Khashoggi to pad his pockets and boost the bottom line of the military industrial complex.
