They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”

So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…

It was always a lie.

It’s not just that the oligarchs don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes.

Many of them literally do not believe in the concept of government.

They are rich and powerful and have the “divine right” to do anything they want.

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity.

True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion

A "significant share" of companies surveyed by the Federal Reserve said they raised the prices of goods and services unaffected by tariffs.

One company said they did this to "enjoy the extra margin before tariffs increased their costs."

See the problem here? www.axios.com/2025/06/04/t...

Businesses are raising prices after tariffs, even on unaffected goods

This could be a sign that companies are using the new tariffs as an excuse to raise prices overall.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

1/ We’ve been sounding the alarm for months and now the Congressional Budget Office has confirmed it.

This budget would gut Medicaid and SNAP, saddle states with new costs, and do real harm to working people.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin: We're also finding out that they have fired top experts and scientists across Health and Human Services, and we have no report on that. So, yes, when they fail to spend money that Congress has appropriated, that is called impoundment, and it is illegal.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.
