Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.
I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

It doesn't matter what deal they might strike with Russia. Putin will use the lull called 'peace' to build up his military and go again, knowing that if Russia takes even more territory they will almost certainly be allowed to keep it.

The alarming trend I'm seeing in 2025 is that companies are quietly laying off employees and replacing their positions with AI.
This means that even if the economy improves, those jobs are not coming back.
So where will these people work? What will this do to our economy?

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

President Trump has canceled 2 economic reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to hide his economic failures. President Trump and Treasury Scott Bessent continue to gaslight the American people that prices + inflation are down. Consumer sentiment is at one of it's all time lows in history.
