Electric bills are up nearly 10% this year, and families could pay hundreds more each year by 2035. Repealing clean energy credits and adding tariffs means higher costs for working families. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...
Electricity Prices Are Rising Thanks To Tariffs, Clean Energy Cuts, AI
Electricity prices have jumped more than twice as fast as overall inflation in the last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.

Tariffs are a hidden tax that make everything cost more—and retirees fear they’ll shrink the value of Social Security checks. We should be strengthening Social Security, not letting tariffs eat away at it. money.com/retiree-fear...
Retirees Are 'Terrified' Tariffs Will Cancel Out the Social Security COLA
While the COLA is designed to help beneficiaries weather inflation, true price increases can — and often do — diminish the raise.

A disabled U.S. veteran, a citizen, was pepper-sprayed and detained during what was supposed to be a workplace inspection. This looked more like a war zone than anything else. We need answers—and accountability—for everyone involved.

Trump just got the green light to gut the Department of Education with zero input from Congress. That means fewer protections for kids with disabilities, less support for local schools, and more power in the hands of one man. We should move the next generation forward, not backward.

‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.
