Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?
Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.
Be warned.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

At a time when we should be guaranteeing health care to all Americans as a human right, President Trump and his Republican colleagues are threatening to make our broken system even worse by doubling premiums for more than 20 million Americans.

Charlie Kirk dead, 2 schoolkids critical in Denver shooting, all today. On radio almost 40 years ago, sad to say I predicted we’d live this way. Until guns are actually regulated (maybe like cars) nothing will change.

Not criticizing the good-hearted people calling for prayers in Minneapolis, but it ain’t enough. It’s past time to regulate ALL guns like we do cars.

Many retailers have issued warnings that they won’t, as Trump has suggested, “eat” the additional costs caused by those import taxes. That means anything from groceries and clothing to toys and cars could cost Americans more. cnn.it/3ShEE1R

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts predominantly for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems.
Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it.

Busting up big corporations.
Tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Our Founding Fathers were no dummies.
As James Madison wrote in Federalist No. 47: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
This is what Trump wants. We will stop him.
