Let’s see all those House Republicans in swing districts vote for those huge Medicaid cuts now to pair up with tax cuts for billionaires and corporations, on top of Trump throwing down his tariffs tomorrow. Good luck herding those cats, Mike Johnson.

Trump’s U.S. Attorney General wants people to stop protesting Tesla and being mean to Elon because Elon gave Trump $390 million in campaign donations. That’s it. Protect the oligarchs and their wealth. It’s really that simple. www.publicnotice.co/p/bondi-croc...

What are Pierre Poilievre's conservatives so scared of? Because they just announced they're breaking from decades of tradition and won't let media travel with them on the election campaign. This is a huge blow to YOUR right to know what they get up to on the campaign trail. Let's talk about it:
