U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

We must approach each day with these questions: What can we do to protect free and fair elections? How can we counter what the GOP is doing? How can we advance the voting rights of every eligible citizen and ensure their ballots are accurately counted and elections properly certified?

Republicans’ inaction on tax credits undermines the entire ACA risk pool. Fewer healthy people enroll → premiums rise → sicker people get priced out → more untreated conditions → more preventable deaths. #RepublicanHealthcareFailure

Of course the Senate voted against ACA tax credits. Republicans refuse to see the pain they’re causing everyday Americans who are just trying to survive this regime.
Keep the faith, folks - in elections nationwide, we’re winning our democracy back by huge margins!

Uh...this is Fox News.
Last night’s “affordability” rally was a gift to the Democrats. Trump championed austerity and said tariffs are making farmers rich. Midterm ads will replay it nonstop. You will not find a single farmer who says they got rich from his tariff policy.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms.
It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.
