After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:

-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000

This is what class warfare looks like.

Senate Republicans are fast-tracking the GENIUS Act, which would greenlight a financial system enabling the ultra-rich to exploit unstable crypto schemes.

The rest of us will be left holding the bag.

Every Senate Democrat must vote against Trump's corrupt crypto scam.

The Trump administration can say what they want but the video couldn’t be clearer: Plainclothes, warrantless ICE agents ambushed Mahmoud Khalil — and he did not resist or try to flee.

This arrest was illegal and unjustified. He must be released.

Rafael Edward Cruz, aka Fled Cruz: “I think birthright citizenship is terrible policy”

I visit rural hospitals all the time. The Republican health care cuts won't just hurt them – they'll force them to close their doors.

Patients will lose health insurance, skip getting care because they can't afford it, and then end up in the ER when it becomes too serious to ignore.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.
The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight
Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.
