The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Killing the IRS Direct File program, as Thom Tillis is cheering for here, forces Americans to spend an average of $140 per person on paid tax filing companies like TurboTax - which is why they spend $$$ to lobby politicians like him.

Trump is president of Crazytown & he happens to also be president of the USA. There's no white genocide occurring n South Africa. This is a bogus conspiracy theory spread by white nationalists. It's part of Trump's war on woke and his desire to Make America White Again. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'
