Trump is at it again—this time taking bids to bulldoze historic federal buildings in DC and repaint the Executive Office building. But, we’re here to tell him {tiny} hands off our history! Hands off our heritage! And hands off our buildings!

Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs.
President Trump is calling affordability a “hoax.”
But Americans know the truth: They can read their bills and see their premium increases.

Once right-wing oligarchs gain control of just about every national and local media company, social media platform, and big AI, as they are systematically doing with little notice from the general public, it will be game, set and match for the Republic.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Forcing all colleges and *high schools* to have chapters of the Right-Wing Teacher Harassment Grift Machine is insane, even by Texas standards
Happening now: Texas leaders announcing a rollout of a statewide program to put TPUSA chapters in high schools and colleges across the state. Gov. Abbott adds that schools that stand in the way should be reported to the Texas Education Agency.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.
He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.
What a betrayal of American values!

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
