Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

There is a reason why working families are falling further and further behind.

The cost of housing, health care and other basic necessities are rising much faster than wages.

Learn about an excellent study from the Ludwig Institute.
Most Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living, analysis finds
The bottom 60% of U.S. households don't make enough money to afford a "minimal quality of life," according to a new analysis.

The youngest member of Congress wants Democrats to “get caught fighting.”

@maxwellfrost.bsky.social is showing his older colleagues how to punch back in the age of Trump, emphasizing the need for Democrats to act as an “opposition party” rather than just a minority one.

The wannabe dictator wants a party? Well then, let's show him some "love”. On June 14th, Trump is spending millions of taxpayer $$$ to throw himself a military parade for his birthday. That's why we're peacefully protesting across the nation on the 14th. In America, we have no kings. #50501Movement

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving.

Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups.

Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.

Foreign films are a national security threat? We’re shaking our heads. We’d laugh if this wasn’t such dangerous, authoritarian rhetoric. What other countries do this? Russia and China.

So much for winning.

New polls show that President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit record lows as he nears the 100-day mark of his second term on Tuesday.
Trump’s poll numbers are historically awful
As the 100-day mark of his second term approaches, a series of new polls show limited amounts of "winning."

Oh the irony of corrupt AF “Attorney General” Pam Bondi tweeting that “no one is above the law.”

A) The FBI arresting a judge for protecting someone’s due process is a DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE LAW.

B) She works for a CONVICTED FELON who should be in PRISON, not the White House.
