Donald Trump is handing his Big Oil campaign donors even more opportunities to screw over Americans at the pump and poison our air.

Strong fuel economy standards save Californians money and protect our health, and we'll fight tooth and nail to defend them.
The Trump administration is proposing new fuel economy standards for vehicles that would roll back efficiency rules implemented under former President Biden.

I think people are missing the point with this Epstein thing.

The question is not did he have sex with underaged girls. He did.

The question is not did he have illegal financial transactions with Epstein. He did.

The question is not did he serve as an asset and agent of Putin. He did.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

You can now preview 2026 ACA insurance premiums on healthcare.gov.

A family of four in Maricopa County paid $514 a month for their ACA plan in 2025. Next year, that same plan will cost $2,435. That kind of increase will be devastating for thousands of Arizona families.

Trump is absolutely cratering in new Quinnipiac poll:

Overall approval: 38-54
Approval on economy: 39-56
Approval on trade: 39-54
On National Guard into cities: 42-55
On immigration, his "best" issue: 41-55

Trump is weak, unpopular, and failing. Treat him that way:
Trump/MAGA are trying to gaslight us into believing that anti-Jimmy Kimmel America is vast and deep, that MAGA's grip on the culture is unshakable, that mobilization is futile.

But this episode has demonstrated the opposite. Let's not forget it.

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

Again: The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

Trump called republicans and threatened them not to sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files saying he would consider it a "hostile act" against him.
McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained.

As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”
