In 1990, only 1.2% of all guns manufactured were AR15s. Now, >23.4% of all guns made are AR15s & mass shootings with ⬆️ casualties skyrocketed - due to the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban expiring in 2004 & the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act giving the gun industry a civil liability shield.

When Trump uses $1 billion of our hard-earned money to buy himself a gold-plated gift, he reminds us all of how he has shredded the Constitution’s two Emoluments Clauses, which he violated from the first day of his first term.

When the system is rigged—our job is to protect the people.
As Trump seeks to deregulate the stock market, gut the SEC, and make himself richer along the way—all we have to do is look at history to see what could happen.
Because we all know what happened in 1929. This is a public responsibility!

Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.
We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.
Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
