Remember when Trump claimed the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough to help North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene?

Well, his administration just denied the state’s request for continued FEMA relief assistance.

This hypocrisy isn’t just staggering. It’s cruel.

Because the Trump administration’s froze Title X funding, 4 Planned Parenthood clinics in Minnesota are forced to close.

That means no reproductive care and no STD testing for low-income and young people who relied on them.

This is the GOP agenda.

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer.

They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

We are DEFINITELY still outraged about this! How about you?
Two months have passed and over 200 people are still unlawfully imprisoned in an El Salvadoran concentration camp.

Kidnapped and trafficked to another country. No due process. Court orders blatantly ignored.

We must not forget, they must be returned, and those responsible must be held accountable.

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

Trump just fired the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The CPSC regulates the safety of everyday consumer products.

Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"?

Amazon.
