Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Today is International #SafeAbortion Day.

Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls.

As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Layoffs reach 2020 high:

Layoffs in the U.S. have reached 744,308 in the first half of 2025 — a number not seen since early pandemic levels — driven by federal cuts, retail weakness from tariffs and inflation, and other factors.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

America drops $300 million worth of bombs to fight another country’s war, but our grandparents have to go without Meals on Wheels or healthcare because 'we can’t afford it.'

Yet again America is bombing the Middle East and yet again we the American people are given a very lame excuse as to why.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
