The John Lewis Voting Rights Act, 2021, would’ve severely restriced gerrymandering nationwide. Every House Republican voted NO. It passed the House but died in the GOP-blocked Senate. If you’re angry about rigged maps, voter dilution, and stolen representation—thank the Republican Party.

$937,989.39: That's the amount of the penalty owed by Trump and Alina Habba, according to a new appeals court decision, which upheld a 2023 ruling that Trump and Habba committed "sanctionable conduct" by filing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and James Comey.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

A new federal directive by Mehmet Oz allows the sharing of Medicaid applicant data with DHS effective immediately, rescinding previous “interagency integrity” firewalls. This forces mixed-status families into an impossible calculus: access life-saving medical care or remain invisible to enforcement.

According to a new Economist/YouGov poll, Trump's approval rating is underwater in the majority of states — including 20 states he won last year.
He's flailing on the economy and his party's odds for 2026 are crumbling.
Do not let him convince you he is all powerful.
