Donald Trump is bragging that he's “very proud” of this economy.
But his first year in office was marked by the weakest job growth in more than a decade outside of Covid.
Trump needs to stop denying reality and start fixing the economic pain he's caused.

The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project.

Some good news:
Narciso, who was violently kidnapped by ICE this past summer, will not be deported & now has an opportunity to adjust his status.
Times are dark, but this is a real victory. Other immigrants + refugees should have this opportunity too.

DHS took confidential immigrant tax data from the IRS in order to carry out Trump's cruel deportation agenda — and target immigrants at their jobs.
But I thought immigrants were "lazy freeloaders" who mooch off the system and don't pay taxes?

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Today’s shocking data confirms our housing crisis is getting worse while the Trump Administration refuses to act.
Prices are high, home sales are down. The end result? Fewer people can buy homes.

Here are the real-world consequences of the Republican SAVE Act: Voting will become harder for Rural America, full-time workers, mothers… the list goes on.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.
