Our tax code is rigged.

It’s not fair that a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.
Graphic that reads: The Tax Code is Rigged Working families pay an effective tax rate that is 4x higher than the average billionaire’s. The biggest source of income for the ultra-rich—the increase in value of investments they don’t sell—is never taxed at all. Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” made things even worse, giving trillions in tax breaks to corporations, billionaires, and millionaires. It’s not fair that a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.

The death penalty is broken and discriminatory, and we won't stop fighting until it is abolished once and for all.
A black graphic with bold white and red text reading “2025 is on track to have the most executions in a decade, despite public support for the death penalty at record lows.” In the bottom right corner is a smaller graphic; a red shape serves as a backdrop for a black and white image of hands reaching out from a jail cell to grasp another person's hands outside the bars. White barbed wire is overlaid on the graphic. In the bottom left corner is the ACLU logo in red.

Donald Trump’s Social Security Administration is a customer service disaster.

Social Security Commissioner Bisignano should stop lying and focus on making it easier for Americans to get help with their monthly checks.
Social Security touts customer service, but some say it’s ‘cherry picking’ performance
The lack of full metrics make it difficult to assess any claims of service enhancements, analysts said

Ossoff: There is no constituency for this. There is no voting bloc in Georgia that's crying out for more expensive health care…

Three Republican-appointed judges just made it harder to cancel subscriptions you don’t want.

It's absurd that you can't just click to cancel.

Lina Khan fought for that change.

But now companies can trap you in subscriptions and squeeze you for every penny.
