So, Congress passes a law requiring the release of ALL the Trumpstein files. Any redactions to protect ONLY the victims

Trump DOJ releases a highly redacted and incomplete batch after working on them for months, citing various lame excuses for their non-compliance

This is what a coverup looks like

Release the files and let the chips fall where they may. We’re not worried about party, but there’s one main character who’s been gaslighting and trying to prevent the release. That screams a lot of things, but innocence isn’t one of them.

🚨New photos just released by House Dems.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

In 2028, any Democratic “I wanna be president,” throwing their hat in the ring, who will not commit to holding these Trump circle criminals accountable for their crimes…will be a no go for me.

What has been done, and is being done right now, cannot go unpunished.

Letitia James just keeps "kicking" Donald Trump's ass. Does anyone else enjoy this as much as I do?

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

Trump is giving another $12 billion of taxpayer money to bail out farmers again from his disastrous policies. Just like he had to bail them out in his first term from his disastrous policies. But they will continue to vote Republican, as long as they keep getting their welfare checks.

Childhood vaccination rates were falling before Trump took office.

But RFK Jr.'s latest attacks on vaccines will make new outbreaks of old diseases even more deadly.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We do not want to go back to that era.

Trump ran on “affordability,” and now calls the crisis a Democratic hoax — while housing, insurance, utilities, childcare, senior care, and groceries erupt in price. Why? Corporate greed, gutted protections, and Trump’s own tariffs, which function as a hidden tax on every American.

Dear Pete, Donald, MAGA etc:

We are selling out our nation, our future, our morality, for the ego and wealth of a 79 year old man.

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

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.
