Republicans never run on improving their voters' lives. They run on ruining other people's lives. You will never see them run on making life more affordable, better access to healthcare, school lunches, etc., etc.

Apple is anti-union.

Tesla is anti-union.

Amazon is anti-union.

McDonald's is anti-union.

Starbucks is anti-union.

Google is anti-union.

Walmart is anti-union.

These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

Let’s be clear: I’m all for permitting reform & modernizing our infrastructure. I’m not for gutting environmental laws & the rights of our frontline communities.

NEPA exists to make sure there’s a backstop to protect our lands, waters, sacred sites, and communities.

find some craft fairs near you - there’s tons of them this time a year, and you can buy directly from artists.

Let me be clear about what this case is & why its cover up is so disturbing. The President is engaged in a direct cover up of crimes.

What I take from his efforts is a desperate attempt to bend the law & the truth—even if that means turning on other members of his own party.

Release the files.

Democrats demand meeting with Trump on shutdown — again
Democrats demand meeting with Trump on shutdown — again
Fresh from the party’s victories in off-year elections across the map, top congressional Democrats are insisting on a meeting with President Donald Trump to discuss the shutdown. “We write to demand a bipartisan meeting of legislative leaders to end the GOP shutdown of the federal government and decisively address the Republican health care crisis,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote Wednesday in a letter to Trump. In addition to Trump, Democrats want Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson to participate. Top Democrats have been asking for such a meeting for months — and got one just before the shutdown started more than a month ago. “Democrats stand ready to meet with you face to face, anytime and anyplace,” Schumer and Jeffries said Wednesday. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The letter comes as Democrats are facing their own internal divisions over how to end the record-breaking funding lapse — or if it’s even the right time to stand down without extracting more policy concessions from the GOP. Roughly a dozen Senate Democrats are viewed as ready to end the shutdown and turn the party’s focus toward hammering Republicans over health care ahead of a vote to extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies following the reopening of government, according to four people granted anonymity to discuss caucus dynamics. But major wins Tuesday night, especially the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, are giving fresh fuel to calls from other corners of the Senate Democratic Caucus for the party to dig in and fight until they get a deal with Republicans on the ACA tax credits.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Donald Trump is raising prices with his reckless tariffs.

Now, he’s trying to import just enough beef from Argentina to hurt ranchers, while not actually making a difference in the price of beef! He's ripping off Washington ranchers to help another country's president.

President Trump plans to quadruple beef imports from a political ally in Argentina, ostensibly to lower prices — a reversal of his "America First" campaign promise.
