The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens.
Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out.
Remember this.

Zohran Mamdani is getting a new generation of young people excited about politics. My own granddaughter is knocking on doors for him in the final stretch of the NYC mayoral race. I was pleased to speak with him ahead of Tuesday's election. https://youtu.be/rqU0DAjg0RA?si=ZYVwyxSyA9xdR4bj

Very important data. Share
Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

Trump is urging SCOTUS to let him fire three Democrat-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC regulates safety of everyday consumer products.
Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"?
