He only wanted to win the Nobel Prize because it’s called a “prize”. Maybe just send one of those huge checks to the White House to shut him up.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

How did Republicans pay for the tax cuts in the Big Bad Bill?

By cutting Medicaid, gutting rural healthcare, and raising your electricity costs.

BREAKING: Billionaires in America now hold a record $7.6 TRILLION in wealth.

That's a $4.7 TRILLION increase since the last Trump tax scam.

This is why we need a Billionaires Income Tax.
