"Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival is a protest song that critiques the social injustice and class disparities within the Vietnam War draft system.
I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played.

Workers who want to join unions should not be afraid of big corporations like Wells Fargo.
Workers must be able to bargain for better wages, better hours, and better working conditions without illegal corporate intervention.
We must pass the PRO Act.

Many law firms representing federal employees have come under attack. The legal community is pushing back. More than 4,000 legal professionals have signed an open letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, expressing concern over the administration’s actions against law firms.

Elon Musk promised he would eliminate the nearly $2 trillion budget deficit in year one. But DOGE won’t just fall short of Musk’s deficit-reduction goals, Jonathan Chait writes. It will, in all probability, increase the deficit—by a lot. theatln.tc/HHz6dJrj

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.
In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money:
“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

Gabbard & Ratcliffe lied under oath yesterday. It’s clear Hegseth shared attack plans via Signal. What else have they been discussing illegally?
They should be fired—and the phones of everyone involved should be confiscated to identify any other secret chats they're hiding from the American people.

Right now, we have an authoritarian president.
He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts.
Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.
