Trump blows past the Patriot Act to erase the very concept of privacy by handing your most vulnerable information to a company literally named after magical surveillance cameras of the eye of Sauron.

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.” Hands Off Public Schools

BREAKING: Leaked audio shows Scott Brown, the GOP's top recruit for NH Senate, saying people "don't want their Social Security" and "don't care about that." This is completely disqualifying.

Trump's ‘big ugly bill’ includes restrictions on "the authority of federal courts to hold government officials in contempt when they violate court orders." Making judicial orders meaningless. IN A FUCKING BUDGET BILL?! No, just NO! Make their fucking phones ring off the hook! Simple as that. 😎✨

Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout.  And thanks to decades of consolidation, Kroger stores are now the only grocers in some rural areas.   Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

Trump's big beautiful bullshit bill got a rider to restrict any regulations on AI for 10 years. This cannot pass. 10 years of unfettered AI will be disastrous. Call your reps! www.yahoo.com/news/gop-sne...

Trump’s back in the White House—and his kids are cashing in. Saudi towers, Qatari golf deals, crypto schemes. This isn’t public service. It’s a shakedown. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-trump-...
