Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.

Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

A reminder that Brazil arrested and charged their former dictator Bolsonaro with planning a coup and trying to overturn the 2022 elections in their country.
If only the United States had done the same instead of giving the plotter of a coup full totalitarian power of the govt.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

The DOJ says there’s no client list and Epstein wasn’t murdered, which means there’s DEFINITELY a client list and Epstein was murdered.

"Trump has spent half a year boasting about how he is withdrawing our collective ability to help those facing personal and collective emergencies. The result is that everyone — local officials, mainstream media, social media users, even Grok — thinks of him as soon as there's a disaster."
Trump gutted the weather service. Then Texas flooded.
It's a brutal reminder that in disasters, we need the federal government.

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

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.

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!
