The Trump administration's strikes in Venezuela were ordered without Congress, without transparency, and without any justification to the public. These actions are reckless, unconstitutional, and dangerous for our national security.

MAGA promised that we would see a made in America movement but yet that has not materialized!

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.
Shameful.

How will Americans feel that college is worth it when many take on debt but yet this administration is having colleges give them settlement money.
Imagine how many students education could have been funded with this money.

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern.
As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more.
Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.

Education should be accessible to all and not just for the wealthy and elites!
We have failed a generation by letting college tuition skyrocket & saddling them with lifetime debt.
I had over $100k in debt after my education.
We need to make public college free & have 1000 new trade schools.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.
“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

When they ask why the food was so damn expensive this year...
If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power.
Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troops’ service.
Doing this while firing federal workers and kicking millions off of healthcare is just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is the Trump admin.
