Donald Trump and Stephen Miller's immigration agenda isn't about going after the worst of the worst.

If that was what they were doing, they wouldn't be terrorizing entire neighborhoods and hardworking folks — including U.S. citizens — at car washes and Home Depot parking lots.

Now you know.

If you care about ensuring access to Medicaid and other safety net programs, now is the time to take action! The US House is planning to strip access to health care away from an estimated 10M Americans.

Trump promised jobs. Michigan’s unemployment rate spiked to 5.5%, the 2nd highest spike nationwide.

Trump promised lower costs. Tariffs will drive prices up. 🧵

Former N.H. Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said he will NOT run for Senate in 2026.

Great news for Democrats such as Chris Pappas (@chrispappasnh.bsky.social) because Sununu was the GOP's best candidate for this race.

This race is ranked LEAN DEMOCRAT by Cook*.

RFK Jr. needs to have testing done to determine the extent of the damage done by the worm discovered dead in his brain. I'm sure most of Trump's Cabinet would fail a psych eval.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
