Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

Trump has made an estimated $3.4 billion in profit from his presidency.

As he rakes in cash, he’s also picking Americans’ pockets by pushing chaotic tariffs, gutting Medicaid, and giving tax cuts to billionaires and corporations that rip off consumers.

What an abomination.

The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades.

Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

Job growth is slowing to levels not seen since the pandemic.

Inflation is up as more tariffs hit.

Meanwhile, Trump is opening new golf courses, planning for a $200M White House ballroom, and diverting taxpayer dollars to renovate his "free" jet from Qatar.

As corporate media bows to Trump, public broadcasting has never been more important.

A free press exists to question authority and help the public question it as well.

But authoritarians insist that they must never be questioned.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.
